سورة المؤمنون، الآية ٤٧
فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لِبَشَرَيْنِ مِثْلِنَا وَقَوْمُهُمَا لَنَا عَٰبِدُونَ ٤٧
faqālū anu'minu libasharayni mith'linā waqawmuhumā lanā ʿābidūna
They said, "Should we believe two men like ourselves while their people are for us in servitude?"
Verse 47 of Surah Al-Mu’minun (23:47), a Meccan surah, is in juz 18, on page 345 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 73 reciters.
79 recitations by 73 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
So they said, “Should we believe two humans like us, who have no superiority over us and their tribe (the Israelites) are submissive and obedient to us?”
They said, “Should we believe in two men like ourselves when their people are our slaves?”
They said: "Shall we believe in two men like ourselves, and their people are obedient to us with humility (and we use them to serve us as we like)."
And they said: Shall we put faith in two mortals like ourselves, and whose folk are servile unto us?
They said: "Shall we believe in two men like ourselves? And their people are subject to us!"
And they said: What! shall we believe in two mortals like ourselves while their people serve us?
So they said, "Shall we believe two mortals like ourselves, and their people are our worshipers?"
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَٰبَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَآ أَهْلَكْنَا ٱلْقُرُونَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ بَصَآئِرَ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ
And We gave Moses the Scripture, after We had destroyed the former generations, as enlightenment for the people and guidance and mercy that they might be reminded.
