M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Who can provide for you if He withholds His provision? Yet they persist in their insolence and their avoidance of the Truth.
أَمَّنْ هَـٰذَا الَّذِي يَرْزُقُكُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهُ ۚ بَلْ لَجُّوا فِي عُتُوٍّ وَنُفُورٍ
amman hādhā alladhī yarzuqukum in amsaka riz'qahu bal lajjū fī ʿutuwwin wanufūrin
