Quran 35:4 — Faatir, verse 4
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
If they call you a liar [Prophet], many messengers before you were also called liars: it is to God that all things will be returned.
وَإِنْ يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٌ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ ۚ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ الْأُمُورُ
wa-in yukadhibūka faqad kudhibat rusulun min qablika wa-ilā l-lahi tur'jaʿu l-umūru

- If they cry lies to thee, Messengers before thee were cried lies to; and unto God all matters are returned.
- Muhammad Asad
- But if they [whose minds are perverted] give thee the lie, [O Prophet, remember that] even so, before thy time, have [other] apostles been given the lie: for [the unbelievers always refuse to admit that] all things go back to God [as their source].
- Sahih International
- And if they deny you, [O Muḥammad] - already were messengers denied before you. And to Allāh are returned [all] matters.
