Explanatory translation
15When Our verses are recited to them, they say mockingly, “These do not speak of us, but of past generations. These are fabricated tales of the ancients. The rulings of the Quran are outdated rules, unnecessary and invalid in our time.” Yet the verses counsel them to abandon their transgression and insolence and enter the right path.
