He eats of that from which you eat and drinks of what you drink. 34 And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be losers. 35 Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones that you will be brought forth [once more]? 36 How far, how far, is that which you are promised. 37 It [i.e., life] is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected. 38 He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allāh, and we will not believe him."

ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَالْكٰفِرُوْنَthe disbelievers

And whoever invokes besides Allāh another deity for which he has no proof - then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed.

وَقُلوَقُلْAnd say
رَّبِّMy Lord
ٱغۡفِرۡاغْفِرْForgive
وَٱرۡحَمۡوَارْحَمْand have mercy
وَأَنتَوَاَنْتَand You
خَيۡرُخَيْرُ(are the) Best
ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَالرّٰحِمِيْنَ(of) those who show mercy

And, [O Muḥammad], say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful."

115 Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?" 116 So exalted is Allāh, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne. 117 And whoever invokes besides Allāh another deity for which he has no proof - then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed. 118 And, [O Muḥammad], say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful."
