M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

and me; and this Quran has been revealed to me that with it I may warn you and whomsoever it reaches. Do you really bear witness that there are other gods with Allah? Say: I do not bear witness. Say: He is only one God, and surely I am clear of that which you set up (with Him).

20. Those whom We have given the Book recognize him as they recognize their sons; (as for) those who have lost their souls, they will not believe.

21. And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah or (he who) gives the lie to His communications; surely the unjust will not be successful.

22. And on the day when We shall gather them all together, then shall We say to those who associated others (with Allah): Where are your associates whom you asserted?

23. Then their excuse would be nothing but that they would say: By Allah, our Lord, we were not polytheists.

24. See how they lie against their own souls, and that which they forged has passed away from them.
