أَلَمْ تَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي
السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ
نِعَمَهُ ظَاهِرَةً وَبَاطِنَةً وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يُجَادِلُ
فِي اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَلَا هُدًى وَلَا كِتَابٍ
مُّنِيرٍ
Do ye not see that Allah has subjected to your (use) all
things in the heavens and on earth, and has made his
bounties flow to you in exceeding measure, (both) seen
and unseen? Yet there are among men those who dispute
about Allah, without knowledge and without guidance,
and without a Book to enlighten them!

~ 21 ~
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اتَّبِعُوا مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ قَالُوا بَلْ
نَتَّبِعُ مَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ آبَاءنَا أَوَلَوْ كَانَ
الشَّيْطَانُ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى عَذَابِ السَّعِيرِ
When they are told to follow the (Revelation) that Allah
has sent down, they say: "Nay, we shall follow the
ways that we found our fathers (following). "What! even
if it is Satan beckoning them to the Penalty of the
(Blazing) Fire?

~ 22 ~
وَمَن يُسْلِمْ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَقَدِ
اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَى وَإِلَى اللَّهِ
عَاقِبَةُ الْأُمُورِ
Whoever submits his whole self to Allah, and is a doer of
good, has grasped indeed the most trustworthy
hand-hold: and with Allah rests the End and Decision of
(all) affairs.

~ 23 ~
وَمَن كَفَرَ فَلَا يَحْزُنكَ كُفْرُهُ إِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ
فَنُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ
الصُّدُورِ
But if any reject Faith, let not his rejection grieve
thee: to Us is their return, and We shall tell them
the truth of their deeds: for Allah knows well all that
is in (men's) hearts.

~ 24 ~
نُمَتِّعُهُمْ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ نَضْطَرُّهُمْ إِلَى عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ
We grant them their pleasure for a little while: in the
end shall We drive them to a chastisement unrelenting.

~ 25 ~
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ
لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ بَلْ
أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
If thou ask them, who it is that created the heavens and
the earth. They will certainly say, "Allah". Say:
"Praise be to Allah!" But most of them understand not.

~ 26 ~
لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ
الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ
To Allah belong all things in heaven and earth: verily
Allah is He (that is) free of all wants, worthy of all
praise.

~ 27 ~
وَلَوْ أَنَّمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِن شَجَرَةٍ أَقْلَامٌ وَالْبَحْرُ
يَمُدُّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ سَبْعَةُ أَبْحُرٍ مَّا نَفِدَتْ
كَلِمَاتُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
And if all the trees on earth were pens and the ocean
(were ink), with seven oceans behind it to add to its
(supply), yet would not the words of Allah be exhausted
(in the writing): for Allah is Exalted in Power, full
of Wisdom.

~ 28 ~
مَّا خَلْقُكُمْ وَلَا بَعْثُكُمْ إِلَّا كَنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ إِنَّ
اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ بَصِيرٌ
And your creation or your resurrection is in no wise but
as an individual soul: for Allah is He Who hears and
sees (all things).

~ 29 ~
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِي النَّهَارِ
وَيُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ
وَالْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجْرِي إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَأَنَّ
اللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ
Seest thou not that Allah merges Night into Day and he
merges Day into Night; that He has subjected the sun,
and the moon (to his Law), each running its course for
a term appointed; and that Allah is well-acquainted
with all that ye do?

~ 30 ~
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَأَنَّ مَا يَدْعُونَ مِن
دُونِهِ الْبَاطِلُ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ
الْكَبِيرُ
That is because Allah is the (only) Reality, and because
whatever else they invoke besides Him is Falsehood; and
because Allah,- He is the Most High, Most Great.
