Explanatory translation

14Abu Jahl pays lip service, saying, “I too believe in Allah.” Well then, does this unjust man, who torments the believers and sets out to cover up the truth and deny it, not know that Allah sees everything? And has he no fear of Allah’s punishment, to behave like this? What is to be said of such a man, who not only rejects the call the Prophet makes in Allah’s name but even tries to obstruct him?
