In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- Or who has created the heaven and the earth and who sends you down rain from the sky? Yea with it We cause to grow well-planted orchards full of beauty and delight: it is not in your power to cause the growth of the trees in them. (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay they are a people who swerve from justice.
- Or who has made the earth firm to live in; made rivers in its midst; set thereon mountains immovable; and made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing water? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay most of them know not.
- Or who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him and who relieves its suffering and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Little it is that ye heed!
- Or who guides you through the depths of darkness on land and sea and who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings going before His mercy? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? high is Allah above what they associate with Him!
- Or who originates Creation then repeats it and who gives you sustenance from heaven and earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Say "Bring forth your argument if ye are telling the truth!"
- Say: None in the heavens or on earth except Allah knows what is hidden: nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up (for Judgment).
- Still less can their knowledge comprehend the Hereafter: nay they are in doubt and uncertainty thereanent; nay they are blind thereunto!
- The Unbelievers say: "What! when we become dust we and our fathers- -shall we really be raised (from the dead)?
- "It is true we were promised this we and our fathers before (us): these are nothing but tales of the ancients."
- Say: "Go ye through the earth and see what has been the end of those guilty (of sin)."
- But grieve not over them nor distress thyself because of their plots.
- They also say: "When will this promise (come to pass)? (Say) if ye are truthful."
- Say: "It may be that some of the events which ye wish to hasten on may be (close) in your pursuit!"
- But verily thy Lord is full of grace to mankind: yet most of them are ungrateful.
- And verily thy Lord knoweth all that their hearts do hide as well as all that they reveal.
- Nor is there aught of the Unseen in heaven or earth but is (recorded) in a clear record.
- Verily this Qur'an doth explain to the Children of Israel most of the matters in which they disagree.
- And it certainly is a Guide and Mercy to those who believe.
- Verily thy Lord will decide between them by His Decree: and He is Exalted in Might All-Knowing.
- So put thy trust in Allah: for thou art on (the Path of) manifest Truth.
- Truly thou canst not cause the Dead to listen nor canst thou cause the Deaf to hear the call (especially) when they turn back in retreat.
- Nor canst thou be a guide to the Blind (to prevent them) from straying; only those wilt thou get to listen who believe in Our Signs and they will bow in Islam.
- And when the Word is fulfilled against them (the unjust) We shall produce from the earth a beast to (face) them: he will speak to them for that mankind did not believe with assurance in our Signs.
- One Day We shall gather together from every people a troop of those who reject Our Signs and they shall be kept in ranks
- Until when they come (before the Judgment-Seat) Allah will say: "Did ye reject My Signs though ye comprehended them not in knowledge or what was it ye did?"
