36 Preface وَإِذا رَآكَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا إِن يَتَّخِذونَكَ إِلّا هُزُوًا أَهٰذَا الَّذي يَذكُرُ آلِهَتَكُم وَهُم بِذِكرِ الرَّحمٰنِ هُم كافِرونَYusuf AliWhen the Unbelievers see thee, they treat thee not except with ridicule. “Is this,” (they say), “the one who talks1 of your gods?” and they blaspheme at the mention of (God) Most Gracious!To the godly man the issue between false worship and true worship is a very serious matter. To the sceptics and unbelievers it is only a joke. They take it lightly, and laugh at the godly ones. They not only laugh at him, but they blaspheme when the name of the One True God is mentioned. The reply to this is in the next verse.
