Transliteration
47Em ʿindehümü-lgaybü fehüm yektübûn.
English Translation
47Or do they have with them a book containing knowledge of the unseen, from which they issue these arbitrary rulings?
Explanatory translation
47Or do they receive revelation confirming their claims, and is that why they lay down the law like this? Do they possess knowledge of the unseen showing that their stance is justified and right, and is that why they claim that the warnings you give are not true? Do they look into it and record the information they want and the nonsense they utter? Is that why they feel no need for the Quran’s guidance and choose their own rulings over Ours? Yet all that falls to the human being is to follow his Lord’s rulings.
