The Holy Quran 7:71 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

قَالَ قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ رِجْسٌ وَغَضَبٌ ۖ أَتُجَـٰدِلُونَنِى فِىٓ أَسْمَآءٍ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَـٰنٍ ۚ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓا۟ إِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُنتَظِرِينَ

Translation

He said to them, “The punishment and anger of your Rabb has already come upon you. Do you debate with me about names (idols) that you and your forefathers have named and for which Allaah has revealed no warrant? Keep waiting (for Allaah's punishment) and I shall wait with you (for the punishment for the annoyance, rebellion and disobedience)."
