why, then, if [you think that] you are not truly dependent [on Us]

Now, if you are not subject to Our Will ˹as you claim˺,

Why then, if you are not dependent on Us,

falawlā in kuntum ghayra madīnīn

Then why not, if you are not to be recompensed,

why, then, if [you think that] you are not truly dependent [on Us]

Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us)

Then why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account,

Now, if you are not subject to Our Will ˹as you claim˺,

Why then, if you are not dependent on Us,

why, then, if you are not subject to Our command

Then why is it not-- if you are not held under authority-

Then, why had you not been—if you are not ones to be judged—

provided you are not under any obligation,

Why do you not, if you are exempt from the reckoning and recompense,

why, then, if you are unconstrained

Then why don’t you — if you are other than those whose abilities have been made limited (by Allah)—

Then why do you not - if you claim you are not subject to reckonin

If you are not held to account

Then had you been (sure) that, in case you are other than being doomed

If you are true to your claim that there is no Day of Judgment

So, if you are not going to be recompensed (in the Hereafter for your deeds), then why do you no

Why not, then, if you owe nothing to Us

Thus, if (you think) you are not subject to reckoning, why can´t you

Then why do you not— If you are excused from (future) account.—

Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed

If it is true that you do not owe any account

why, if you are not to be judged

Wherefore then, if ye are not to be requite

Then why, if you are not indebted (to Us for life)

why then, if you are not subject to Our command,

Then, how is it you do not – if you are not bound to Us in dependence (subject to Our will) –

then why do you not, if you are not subjec

Then why, if you are not under Our authority

then if you are not obligated, why don'

Then why do you not, if you are exempt from account

Why do you think that you are not dependent on Us?

if you are not subject to anyone´s authority

So if you do not owe any account.

Then if you are not to be brought to Judgment

Why then it was not, if you are not to be requited,

If it is true that you do not owe any accounting -

why then, if you are not revived

Why then, if you are not held under authority

So if only if you were not indebted

If [as you claim] you are under no authority and you are truthful about…

So why is it not, that if you are not to be repaid,

Why, then, if you are not to be called to account

Then if you are under no one’s command and control, why do you not (do this)

Why, then, if you are not governed by any authority and are not to be requited

Then why do you not, if you are exempt from the reckoning and recompense (punishment, etc.

why, if you are not at Our disposal

would ye not, if ye are not to be rewarded for your actions hereafter

why, if ye are not to be judged

Why do ye not, if ye are to escape the judgment

why do you not restore it, if you are not to be judged hereafter

Why [do you not act] if you are not held to account?

provided you are not under any obligation,

If you are not to be recompensed for your deeds,

so why is it not, if you are not bound by any law,

And so, if, as is the case, you deny you're Creator and you deny Resurrection and the Day of Reckoning

Then why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account,

Then why not, if you are not to be recompensed
