In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- We inflicted Punishment on them, but they humbled not themselves to their Lord, nor do they submissively entreat (Him)!
- Until We open on them a gate leading to a severe Punishment: Then Lo! they will be plunged in despair therein!
- It is He Who has created for you (the faculties of) hearing, sight, feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye give!
- And He has multiplied you through the earth, and to Him shall ye be gathered back.
- It is He Who gives life and death, and to Him (is due) the alternation of Night and Day: Will ye not then understand?
- On the contrary they say things similar to what the ancients said.
- They say: "What! when we die and become dust and bones, could we really be raised up again?
- "Such things have been promised to us and to our fathers before! They are nothing but tales of the ancients!"
- Say: "To whom belong the earth and all beings therein? (Say) if ye know!"
- They will say "To Allah!" Say: "Yet will ye not receive admonition?"
- Say: "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme?"
- They will say, "(They belong) to Allah." Say: "Will ye not then be filled with awe?"
- Say: "Who is it in whose hands is the governance of all things, -- who protects (all), but is not protected (of any)? (Say) if ye know."
- They will say, "(It belongs) to Allah." Say: "Then how are ye deluded?"
- We have sent them the Truth: but they indeed practice Falsehood!
- No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with Him: (if there were many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what be had created, and some would have lorded it over others! Glory to Allah (He is free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to Him!
- He knows what is hidden and what is open: Too high is He for the partners they attribute to Him!
- Say: "O my Lord! if Thou wilt show me (in my lifetime) that which they are warned against, --
- "Then, O my Lord! put me not amongst the people who do wrong!"
- And We are certainly able to show thee (in fulfillment) that against which they are warned.
- Repel evil with that which is best: We are well-acquainted with the things they say.
- And say: "O my Lord! I seek refuge with Thee from the suggestions of the Evil Ones;
- "And I seek refuge with Thee, O my Lord! lest they should come near me."
- (In Falsehood will they be) until, when death comes to one of them, he says: "O my Lord! send me back (to life), --
- "In order that I may work righteousness in the things I neglected." -- "By no means! it is but a word he says," -- before them is a Partition till the Day they are raised up.
