وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ بَلْ أَتَيْنَٰهُم بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَن ذِكْرِهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ
Wa lawit taba'al haqqu ahwaaa'ahum lafasadatis samaawaatu wal ardu wa man feehinnn; bal atainaahum bizikrihim fahum 'an zikrihim mu'ridon
But if the Truth had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message, but they, from their message, are turning away.

And if the truth namely the Qur’ān had followed their desires and come to them with mention of what they fancied in the way of God having a partner and a child may God be exalted above such associations indeed the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been corrupted they the heavens and the earth would have deviated from their observed order because contradictions would ensue as is usually the case when there is more than one ruler. Nay We have brought them their Remembrance namely the Qur’ān in which they are remembered and honoured but they are disregardful of their own Remembrance.
