﴿ وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ بَلْ أَتَيْنَٰهُم بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَن ذِكْرِهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ ﴾

“But if the truth were in accord with their own likes and dislikes, the heavens and the earth would surely have fallen into ruin, and all that lives in them [would long ago have perished]! Nay, [in this divine writ] We have conveyed unto them all that they ought to bear in mind: and from this their reminder they [heedlessly] turn away!”

(And if the Truth had followed their desires) if it was according to their whims such that there is a deity in the heavens and a deity in the earth, (verily the heavens and the earth and whosoever is therein) of created beings (had been corrupted. Nay, We have brought them their Reminder) We sent Gabriel to their Prophet with the Qur'an wherein lies their glory and honour, (but from their Reminder) but from their glory and honour (they now turn away) they disbelieve.
