The Qur'an (Oxford World's Classics)

15: 99
Al-Hijr 165
[disbelievers], but lower your wings over the believers 89 and say, ‘I
am here to give plain warning,’ 90 like the [warning] We have sent
down for those who divide themselves into bands a 91 and abuse the
Quran b –– 92 by your Lord, We will question them all 93 about their
deeds. 94 So proclaim openly what you have been commanded [to
say], and ignore the idolaters. 95 We are enough for you against all those
who ridicule your message, 96 who set up another god beside God –
they will come to know. 97 We are well aware that your heart is
weighed down by what they say. 98 Celebrate the glory of your Lord
and be among those who bow down to Him: 99 worship your
Lord until what is certain comes to you.
a This refers to some disbelievers who organized themselves into groups to meet
pilgrims and warn them against the Quran.
b There are two interpretations of the word idina given by Razi. One is ‘parts/
shreds’, the other is ‘lies/inventions’: ‘abuse’ covers both.
