Word by word

ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَـٰدِلُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَـٰنٍ أَتَىٰهُمْ ۖ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَعِندَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ

Those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh without an authority having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allāh and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allāh seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.

الذين يخاصمون في آيات الله وحججه لدفعها من غير أن يكون لديهم حجة مقبولة، كَبُر ذلك الجدال مقتًا عند الله وعند الذين آمنوا، كما خَتَم بالضلال وحَجَبَ عن الهدى قلوب هؤلاء المخاصمين، يختم الله على قلب كل مستكبر عن توحيد الله وطاعته، جبار بكثرة ظلمه وعدوانه.
