In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- "It would not be reasonable in me if I did not serve Him Who created me and to Whom ye shall (all) be brought back.
- "Shall I take (other) gods besides Him? If (Allah) Most Gracious should intend some adversity for me of no use whatever will be their intercession for me nor can they deliver me.
- "I would indeed if I were to do so be in manifest Error.
- "For me I have faith in the Lord of you (all): listen then to me!"
- It was said: "Enter thou the Garden." He said "Ah me! would that my People knew (what I know)!
- "For that my Lord has granted me Forgiveness and has enrolled me among those held in honor!"
- And We sent not down against his People after Him any hosts from heaven nor was it needful for Us so to do.
- It was no more than a single mighty Blast and behold! they were (like ashes) quenched and silent.
- Ah! alas for (My) servants! There comes not an apostle to them but they mock Him!
- See they not how many generations before them We destroyed? Not to them will they return:
- But each one of them all will be brought before Us (for judgment).
- A Sign for them is the earth that is dead; We do give it life and produce grain therefrom of which ye do eat.
- And We produce therein orchards with date-palms and Vines and We cause springs to gush forth therein.
- That they may enjoy the fruits of this (artistry): it was not their hands that made this: will they not then give thanks?
- Glory to Allah Who created in pairs all things that the earth produces as well as their own (human) kind and (other) things of which they have no knowledge.
- And a Sign for them is the Night: We withdraw therefrom the Day and behold they are plunged in darkness;
- And the Sun runs his course for a period determined for him: that is the decree of (Him) the exalted in Might the All-Knowing.
- And the Moon We have measured for her mansions (to traverse) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of date-stalk.
- It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon nor can the Night outstrip the Day: each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).
- And a Sign for them is that We bore their race (through the flood) in the loaded Ark;
- And We have created for them similar (vessels) on which they ride.
- If it were Our Will We could drown them; then would there be no helper (to hear their cry) nor could they be delivered.
- Except by way of Mercy from Us and by way of (worldly) convenience (to serve them) for a time.
- When they are told "Fear ye that which is before you and that which will be after you in order that ye may receive Mercy" (they turn back).
- Not a Sign comes to them from among the Signs of their Lord but they turn away therefrom.
