They said: "You are only humans like us; you want to bar us from what our ancestors obeyed. So bring us a manifest authority."

It is not for us to bring you an authority, except with God's permission.

And the Diverter will say, when the matter is decided: "God indeed made you a true promise, and I made you a promise, but I failed you; I had no authority over you, except to call you, and you answered me. So do not censure me, but censure yourselves: I cannot answer your cry, nor can you answer mine. I indeed disown that you associated me with God before."

Here is our people, who have taken deities besides Him: why do they not produce, concerning them, a clear authority?

And they obey, besides God, that for which He has sent down no authority and of which they have no knowledge.

Then We sent Moussa and his brother Harun, with Our signs and a manifest authority, to Fir'awn and his court; but they grew proud and were a haughty people,

He said: "We will strengthen your arm through your brother, and We will appoint for you both an authority, so that they will not be able to reach you — through Our signs,

Or have We sent down upon them an authority which speaks in favor of what they associate with Him?

And he had no authority over them, except that We might distinguish who believes in the last life from who is in doubt about it.

and we had no authority over you — you were rather a people who exceeded all measure.

Or do you have a manifest authority? Then bring your book, if you are veracious.

Then let their listener bring a manifest authority!

But God gives His messengers power over whom He wills.

my authority has perished far from me."
