O Messenger! Leave me to deal with whoever denies this Qur’ān that has been revealed to you. I will drive them to the punishment gradually, in a way they do not realise that it is a method of leading them gradually into destruction.

Other translations of verse 44

So leave to Me those who reject this message [O Prophet]. We will gradually lead them to their ruin in ways that they do not perceive11.

Notes

[11] Allah will increase favors upon them in this life as a trial, so they will increase sin, which will lead to their destruction.

Then leave Me Alone with such as belie this Qur’ân. We shall punish them gradually from directions they perceive not.

Leave Me (to deal) with those who give the lie to this pronouncement. We shall lead them on by steps from whence they know not.

Then leave Me alone with such as reject this Message: by degrees shall We punish them from directions they perceive not.

So leave Me and him who rejects this announcement; We will overtake them by degrees, from whence they perceive not:

So leave Me (to deal) with him who cries lies to this discourse! We will soon draw them gradually (to punishment) from where they do not know,
