1
THE DECREE of GOD will surely come; so do not try to hasten it: Too glorious and high is He for what they associate with Him.
2
He sends the angels with revelation by His command, to any of His creatures as He please, (saying): "Warn that there is no god but I, so fear Me."
3
He created the heavens and the earth with reason. Too glorious and high is He for what they associate with Him.
4
Man He created from a drop of semen; and still he becomes an open contender.
5
He created the cattle from whom you get warm clothing and (other) advantages, and some you eat.
6
There is life and cheer for you as you drive them home in the evening, and lead them out in the morning to graze.
7
They carry your burdens to lands so distant you could not have reached without much hardship. Indeed your Lord is compassionate and kind.
8
He created horses, mules and donkeys for riding and for splendour. He created other things too which you do not know.
9
To God leads the right path, though some deviate. If He willed He could guide you all to the right way.
10
It is He who sends down water from the sky of which you drink, and which nourishes the plants you feed your cattle,
11
With which He makes crops grow, and olives, dates and grapes and fruits of every kind for you. In this is a sign for those who think.
12
He harnessed the day and night for you, as also the sun, the moon and the stars, by His command. In this are signs for men who understand.
13
And other things of different shades has He produced on the earth for you. In this are signs for those who reflect.
14
It is He who has subdued the sea that you may eat fresh meat from it, and obtain ornaments to wear. You see the ships plough through it that you may seek of His bounties and, perhaps, be grateful.
15
He placed stablisers in the earth so that while it revolves you live undisturbed, and rivers and tracks so that you may find your way;
16
As well as many other signs, as by the stars (you) find direction.
17
So, could one who creates be like one who cannot? Will you not then contemplate?
18
If you count the favours of God you will not be able to calculate. Assuredly God is forgiving and kind.
19
God knows what you hide and disclose.
20
, As for those they call besides God, they cannot create a thing, and have themselves been created.
21
Dead, without life they are, and do not know when they will be raised.
22
Your God is one God. But the hearts of those who believe not in the life to come are filled with denial, and they are puffed up with pride.
23
Surely God knows what they hide and what they disclose. He certainly does not love the proud.
24
For when they are asked: "What has your Lord sent down?" they say: "Tales of long ago."
25
On the Day of Resurrection they will carry their own burden and some of the load of those they have led astray without any knowledge. Oh, how evil a burden they will carry!
26
Those who have gone before them had also conspired; then God uprooted their structure from its foundation; the roof fell over them from above, and punishment came upon them from somewhere they did not suspect.
27
On the Day of Resurrection He will disgrace them and ask: "Where are My compeers for whom you contended?" Those endowed with knowledge will say: "Shame and evil surely are for unbelievers today."
28
They whose souls are drawn out by the angels while they are sinning, shall offer submission: "We did no evil." But God knows well what you did.
29
So enter the gates of Hell, and dwell there for ever. How dreadful a dwelling for the haughty!
30
When those who took heed for themselves would be asked: "What did your Lord send down?" They will answer: "The best." For those who do good there is good in the world, but certainly the abode of the next is better. How excellent the home of the virtuous!
