2
By the Book which makes things clear.
3
We have made it an Arabic Qur'an so that hopefully you will use your intellect.
4
It is in the Source Book with Us, high-exalted, full of wisdom.
5
Shall We then deprive you of the Reminder for being a profligate people?
6
How many Prophets We sent to the previous peoples!
7
But no Prophet came to them without their mocking him;
8
and so We destroyed people with greater power than they have and the pattern of the previous peoples has gone before.
9
If you were to ask them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth?' they would reply, 'The Almighty, the All-Knowing created them.'
10
It is He who made the earth a cradle for you and made pathways for you in it so that hopefully you would be guided.
11
It is He who sends down water in due measure from the sky by which We bring a dead land back to life. That is how you too will be brought forth.
12
It is He who created all the species and gave you ships and livestock for you to ride,
13
so that you might sit firmly on their backs and remember your Lord's blessing while you are seated on them, saying, 'Glory be to Him who has subjected this to us. We could never have done it by ourselves.
14
Indeed we are returning to our Lord!'
15
They have assigned to Him a portion of His creatures! Truly man is openly ungrateful.
16
Has He then taken daughters from what He has created and chosen sons for you?
17
When any of them is given the good news of the very thing which he himself has ascribed to the All-Merciful his face darkens and he is furious.
18
'What! Someone brought up among pretty trinkets who cannot produce a cogent argument!'
19
They have designated the angels as female, those who are in the presence of the All-Merciful! Were they present to witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded and they will be asked about it!
20
They say, 'If the All-Merciful had so willed, we would not have worshipped them.' They have no knowledge of that. They are only conjecturing.
21
Or did We give them a Book before, which they are holding to?
22
No, in fact they say, 'We found our fathers following a religion and we are simply guided in their footsteps.'
23
Similarly We never sent any warner before you to any city without the affluent among them saying, 'We found our fathers following a religion and we are simply following in their footsteps.'
24
Say: 'What if I have come with better guidance than what you found your fathers following?' They say, 'We reject what you have been sent with.'
25
So We took revenge on them. And see the final fate of the deniers!
26
When Ibrahim said to his father and his people, 'I am free of everything you worship,
27
except for Him who brought me into being, Who will certainly guide me,'
28
he made it an on-going word among his descendants so that perhaps they might turn back.
29
I let those people and their forefathers enjoy themselves until the truth came to them and a Messenger to make it clear.
30
But when the truth came to them they said, 'This is magic and we reject it.'
