1
(I) God's command is coming, so do not seek to hasten its appearance. Glory be to Him! Exalted is He over anything they may associate (with Him)!
2
He sends down angels with the Breath of His command on any of His servants He may wish: "Warn (mankind) that there is no deity except Me; so heed Me!"
3
He has created Heaven and Earth in all Truth; Exalted is He over anything they associate (with Him)!
4
He creates man from a drop of semen, yet he is an open opponent;
5
and livestock has He created for you in which are warmth and (other) advantages and some of which you use for food.
6
You have beauty in them when you drive them home to rest, and whenever you lead them out to pasture.
7
They transport your loads to lands you would not reach except through travail for yourselves-your Lord is so Gentle, Merciful-
8
as well as horses, mules and donkeys for you to ride on and to show them off. He even creates something you do not know.
9
On God rests the search for the Way, though side roads may branch off from it. If He so wished, He would even guide you all.
10
(II) He is the One Who sends down water from the sky. You have something to drink from it, and from it shrubs you use for forage.
11
He grows you crops by means of it: olives, datepalms grapevines and every sort of fruit. In that is a sign for folk who will think things over.
12
He has regulated night and daylight for you, while the sun, moon and stars are subjected to His command. In that are signs for folk who use their minds;
13
as well as in anything He has scattered over the earth for you with different colors. In that is a sign for folk who remember.
14
He is the One Who regulates the sea so you may eat fresh meat from it and extract jewelry you may wear from it. You see ships sailing along through it so you (all) may seek some of His bounty, in order that you may feel grateful.
15
He has set up headlands on the earth lest it sway with you, and rivers and paths so that you may be guided,
16
as well as landmarks, and by stars are they guided (too).
17
Is Someone Who creates like someone who does not create anything? Will you not bear this in mind?
18
If you counted up God's favor, you would never calculate it; God is Forgiving, Merciful.
19
God knows anything you hide and anything you display.
20
Those whom they invoke instead of God do not create a thing, while they themselves have been created;
21
dead, lifeless, they do not even perceive the times when they will be raised up again.
22
(III) Your God is God Alone! Those who do not believe in the Hereafter have hearts which refuse to learn while they are overproud.
23
God knows absolutely anything they hide and anything they disclose; yet He does not love the prideful.
24
Whenever someone tells them: "What has your Lord sent down?", they say: "Legends by primitive people!"
25
Let them carry all their own burdens on Resurrection Day as well as some burdens for those whom they have misled without having any knowledge! Surely what they bear is evil!
26
(IV) Those before them schemed, and God reached for their building through its foundations, so the roof caved in on them and torment came at them from where they did not even suspect it.
27
Then He will shame them on Resurrection Day and say: "Where are My associates through whom you have fallen into disagreement?" Those who have been given knowledge will say: "Shame and evil (will fall) today on disbelievers,
28
whom the angels will carry away while they are harming themselves." They will offer to surrender: "We were not doing anything evil!" Nevertheless God is Aware of what you have been doing,
29
So enter Hell's gates to remain there. How awful will the lodging of the prideful be!
30
Those who have done their duty will be told: "What has your Lord sent down?" They will say: "(The very) Best!" Those who have acted kindly in this world will have a fine thing, while their Home in the Hereafter will be even better. How splendid will the Home for the heedful be:
