Their testimonies will be recorded. 00:08:44.649 --> 00:08:47.850 And they will be asked about their testimony in the Hereafter. 00:08:47.850 --> 00:08:55.350 To provide proof of its truth, but they will not find a way to do so. 00:08:55.350 --> 00:09:08.350 And they say, “If the Most Gracious had willed, We would not have worshiped them.” They have no knowledge of that. They only lie. 00:09:08.350 --> 00:09:17.350 Or did We give them a Book before it, so they adhere to it? 00:09:17.350 --> 00:09:21.929 He said: These polytheists are from Quraish 00:09:21.929 --> 00:09:25.929 If the Most Gracious had willed, we would not have worshiped our idols 00:09:25.929 --> 00:09:31.929 But there was no punishment imposed on us for our worship of it because of His satisfaction with us 00:09:31.929 --> 00:09:35.929 They have no knowledge of the truth of what they say about that 00:09:35.929 --> 00:09:39.929 But they say it deceitfully and lying 00:09:39.929 --> 00:09:49.929 We have not given these hypocrites a book of the truth of what they say before this Qur’an which We have sent down to you, O Muhammad 00:09:49.929 --> 00:09:53.929 They adhere to that book and work by it 00:09:55.659 --> 00:10:13.659 Rather, they said, “We found our fathers following a nation, and we are guided in their footsteps.” 00:10:13.659 --> 00:10:18.240 We did not give these people a book from Us 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:26.240 But they said, “We found our fathers who were before us following a religion and religion.” 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:33.240 We follow in the footsteps of our fathers in their religion, following their method 00:10:49.230 --> 00:10:58.230 Thus, just as these polytheists from Quraish did, so did those who disbelieved in God before them 00:10:58.230 --> 00:11:00.230 They said the same thing 00:11:00.230 --> 00:11:06.809 We did not send messengers before you, O Muhammad, to any town to its people 00:11:06.809 --> 00:11:10.809 Except what their leaders and elders said 00:11:10.809 --> 00:11:14.809 We found our fathers to be of a sect and religion 00:11:14.809 --> 00:11:19.809 We follow their approach and method, emulating their actions
