1
The decree of God is at hand, so do not seek to hasten it. Holy is He, and exalted far above what they associate with Him.
2
He sends down the angels with revelations by His command to whoever of His servants He pleases, saying, 'Warn mankind that there is no god save Me, so fear Me.'
3
He created the heavens and the earth for a true purpose. He is exalted above anything they associate with Him.
4
He created man out of a (mere) drop of sperm: yet he shows himself to be openly contentious!
5
He has created cattle for you: from them you derive food and clothing and numerous other benefits;
6
how pleasant they look when you bring them home in the evenings and when you take them out to pasture in the mornings.
7
They carry your loads to places which you could otherwise not reach without great hardshipsurely, your Lord is compassionate and merciful
8
He has created horses, mules and donkeys, so that you may ride them, and also so that they may be put on show, and He creates other things beyond your knowledge.
9
The straight way leads to God and there are ways which deviate from the right course. If He so wished, He would guide you all.
10
It is He who sends down water from the sky. From it you drink and with it trees grow on which you pasture your cattle.
11
And with it He grows for you corn, and the olive and the date-palm and the grape, and all kinds of fruits. Surely, in that is a sign for a people who reflect.
12
He has made the night and the day and the sun and the moon subservient to you; and all the stars are subservient to His command. Surely in this there are signs for men of understanding.
13
On the earth He has fashioned for you objects of various hues: there is certainly a sign in that for people who pay heed.
14
It is He who subjected to you the sea, so that you may eat its fresh seafood and bring forth from it ornaments to wear. You see the ships cleaving through it. All this, so that you may seek His bounty and feel grateful.
15
He has set up on the earth firm mountains, lest it shake under you, and rivers and tracks, so that you may find your way,
16
and He has set up other landmarks. By these and by the stars people set their course.
17
Is He, then, who creates like him who does not create? Will you not, then, take heed?
18
If you tried to count God's blessings, you would never be able to number them. God is ever forgiving and most merciful.
19
God knows all that you conceal and all that you reveal.
20
Those you call on besides God cannot create anything. They are themselves created.
21
They are dead, not living; nor do they know when they will be raised to life.
22
Your God is the One God. As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts refuse to admit the truth and they are arrogant.
23
God surely knows what they conceal and what they reveal. He does not love the arrogant.
24
When they are asked, 'What is it that your Lord has sent down?' they say, 'Stories of the ancients.'
25
Let them bear all their own burdens on Resurrection Day as well as some of the burdens of those whom they lead astray without any knowledge. How evil the load with which they shall be burdened!
26
Those who went before them also plotted. But God struck at the foundations of their building, and the roof fell down upon them from above. The punishment came upon them from where they did not expect.
27
Then on the Day of Resurrection He will disgrace them, and say, 'Where are My partners for whose sake you opposed (My guidance)?' Those given knowledge will say, 'This Day humiliation and affliction will surely befall those who have been denying the truth.'
28
Those whose lives the angels take while they are wronging their own souls will offer submission saying, 'We were not doing anything evil!' 'Indeed!' the angels will reply, 'God is aware of what you have been doing,
29
so enter the gates of Hell. There you shall abide forever.' Evil indeed is the abode of the arrogant.
30
When those who fear God are asked, 'What has your Lord sent down?' Their reply is, 'Goodness!'The reward of those who do good works in this world is good, but the abode of the Hereafter is even better. The home of the righteous is indeed excellent.
