1
ALL PRAISE BE to God who created the heavens and the earth, and ordained darkness and light. Yet the unbelievers make the others equal of their Lord.
2
It is He who created you from clay then determined a term (of life) for you, and a term (is fixed) with Him. Even then you doubt.
3
He is God in the heavens and the earth. He knows what you hide and bring out into the open, and knows what you earn (of good and evil).
4
Yet no sign of their Lord comes to them but they turn away from it.
5
So they disbelieved the truth when it came to them; but they will soon come to know the reality of what they had ridiculed.
6
Do they not see how many generations We laid low before them, whom We had firmly established in the land as We have not established you, and showered abundant rain on them, and made rivers lap at their feet, yet whom We destroyed for their sins, and raised new generations after them?
7
Even if We had sent you a transcript on paper which they could feel with their hands, the unbelievers would have said: "This is nothing but clear sorcery."
8
They say: "How is it no angel was sent down to him?" Had We sent an angel down the matter would have come to end, and they would have had no respite.
9
Even if We had sent down an angel as messenger he would have appeared in the garb of a man and filled them with confusion, like the one they are filled with.
10
Surely the apostles have been mocked before you; but what they had mocked rebounded on the mockers themselves.
11
Say: "Travel in the land and see what happened to those who disbelieved."
12
And ask: "To whom belongs what is in the heavens and the earth?" Say: "To God." He has prescribed grace for Himself. He will gather you on the Day of Resurrection which is certain to come. Only they who are lost of soul will not come to believe.
13
Whatsoever dwells in the night and day belongs to Him. He is all-hearing and all-knowing.
14
Say: "Should I find some other protector besides God the Creator of the heavens and the earth, who nourishes all and is nourished by none? Say: "I am commanded to be the first to submit to Him, and not be an idolater."
15
Say: "If I disobey my Lord, I fear the punishment of a grievous Day."
16
Whosoever is spared that Day will surely have mercy shown to him, and this will be a clear triumph.
17
If God sends you harm, there is no one but He who can take it away; and if He bring you good, surely He has power over everything.
18
It is He who prevails over His creatures, and He is all-wise and aware.
19
Ask: "Of all things what is most vital as evidence?" Say: "God (who) is witness between you and me that this Qur'an has been revealed to me that I may warn you on its strength, and those whom it reaches. Do you really bear witness there are other gods with God?" Tell them: "I bear no such Witness." Say: "Verily He is the only God, and I am clear of what you associate (with Him)."
20
Those to whom We have given the Book know it distinctly as they know their sons; but those who are lost of soul do not believe.
21
And who is more wicked than he who invents lies about God or denies His revelations? Surely the wicked will not succeed.
22
The day We shall gather all of them together and say to those who ascribe (partners to God): "Where are the compeers who you claimed (were equal to God)?"
23
Then their excuse will be but to say: "By God our Lord, we were not idolaters."
24
You will see how they will lie against themselves, and all their slanderings will be vain.
25
There are some among them who listen to you; but We have put a covering on their hearts so that they fail to understand it, and a deafness appears in their ears. Even if they saw all the signs they would not believe in them; and even when they come to you to dispute with you, the unbelievers say: "This is nothing but fables of antiquity."
26
And they forbid others from (believing in) it, and themselves keep away from it. But they ruin none but themselves, and do not understand.
27
If you should see them when they are stood before the Fire, they will say: "Ah would that we were sent back (to the world)! We shall not deny the signs of our Lord, and be among those who believe."
28
But no. What they were hiding has now become clear to them. If they were sent back they would surely return to what had been forbidden them, for surely they are liars.
29
They say: "There is no other life but that of this world, and we will not be raised (from the dead)."
30
If you see them when they are put before their Lord, He will say to them: "Is not this the truth?" They will answer: "Indeed, by our Lord." He will say: "Then taste the agony of punishment for what you had denied."
