— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, they say, "This is not but a man who wishes to avert you from that which your fathers were worshipping."

And those before them denied, and they [i.e., the people of Makkah] have not attained a tenth of what We had given them. But they [i.e., the former peoples] denied My messengers, so how [terrible] was My reproach.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
