By the Book that makes things clear,
3
We have made it an Arabic Quran so that you may understand.
4
Truly, it is inscribed in the Original Book, in Our keeping; it is sublime and full of wisdom.
5
Should We withdraw the admonition from you because you are a people far gone in transgression?
6
We have sent many a prophet to earlier peoples
7
but whenever a prophet came to them, they mocked him,
8
so We destroyed those who were mightier than these; such was the example of the earlier peoples.
9
If you ask them, 'Who has created the heavens and the earth?', they will surely answer, 'The Almighty, the All Knowing One has created them.'
10
Who has made the earth a cradle for you and made thereon paths for you so that, hopefully, you may find your way
11
It is He who sends water down from the sky in due measureWe revive dead land with it and likewise you will be resurrected from the grave
12
it is He who created all living things in pairs and gave you ships to sail in and beasts to ride upon
13
so that you may sit firmly on their backs. Then once you have mounted them, remember your Lord's favour and say, 'Glory be to Him who has subjected these creatures to us; we would never on our own have subdued them.
14
And to our Lord we shall surely return.'
15
Yet they make some of His servants partners in His divinity. Man is clearly ungrateful!
16
Has He then taken daughters out of His own creation and chosen sons for you?
17
When any of them is given the news of the very thing (i.e. a female child) which he himself has ascribed to the All Merciful, his face darkens and he is filled with grief
18
('Do you ascribe to God) one who is brought up among ornaments and who cannot produce a cogent argument?'
19
They consider the angels God's servantsto be female. Did they witness their creation? Their claim will be put on record and they will be questioned 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
Have We given them a Book before this, to which they are holding fast?
22
No indeed! They say, 'We have found our fathers following a certain course, and we are guided by their footsteps.'
23
Whenever We sent a messenger before you to warn a township, the affluent among them said, in the same way, 'We saw our fathers following this tradition; we are only following in their footsteps.'
24
Each messenger said, 'What if I should bring you better guidance than what you found your forefathers had?' They replied, 'We reject any message you have been sent with!'
25
So We wreaked Our vengeance on them: now see what was the end of those who rejected (the Truth)!
26
Call to mind when Abraham said to his father and his people, 'I disown utterly that which you worship.
27
(I worship) only Him who created me, and He will certainly guide me,'
28
and he left these words to endure among his descendants, so that they might return (to God).
29
Yes, I gave the good things of this life to these (men) and their fathers, until the truth came to them, and a messenger expounding things clearly,
30
but when the truth came to them, they said, 'This is sorcery, and we reject it.'
