Their Messengers said: "What! Can there be a doubt about Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth? He calls you (to Monotheism and to be obedient to Allah) that He may forgive you of your sins and give you respite for a term appointed." They said: "You are no more than human beings like us! You wish to turn us away from what our fathers used to worship. Then bring us a clear authority i.e. a clear proof of what you say)."
Mitume wao wakasema: Ati pana shaka na Mwenyezi Mungu, Muumba mbingu na ardhi? Yeye anakuiteni apate kukufutieni madhambi yenu, na akupeni muhula mpaka muda ulio wekwa. Wakasema: Nyinyi si chochote ila ni wanaadamu kama sisi. Mnataka kutuzuilia na waliyo kuwa wakiabudu baba zetu. Basi tuleteeni hoja ilio wazi.
