English - Muhammad Sarwar
When they are told not to commit corruption in the land, they reply, "We are only reformers". ﴾11﴿ They, certainly, are corrupt but do not realize it. ﴾12﴿ When they are told to believe as everyone else does, they say, "Should we believe as fools do?" In fact, they themselves are fools, but they do not know it. ﴾13﴿ To the believers they declare belief and, in secret to their own devils, they say, "We were only mocking". ﴾14﴿ God mocks them and gives them time to continue blindly in their transgressions. ﴾15﴿ They have traded guidance for error, but their bargain has had no profit and they have missed the true guidance. ﴾16﴿ (Their case) is like that of one who kindles a fire and when it grows bright God takes away its light leaving him in darkness (wherein) he cannot see (anything). ﴾17﴿ They are deaf, blind, and dumb and cannot regain their senses. ﴾18﴿ Or it is like that of a rain storm with darkness, thunder, and lightning approaching. They cover their ears for fear of thunder and death. God encompasses those who deny His words. ﴾19﴿ The lightning almost takes away their vision. When the lightning brightens their surroundings, they walk and when it is dark, they stand still. Had God wanted, He could have taken away their hearing and their vision. God has power over all things. ﴾20﴿
