Say (O Muhammad): Praise be to Allah, and peace be on His slaves whom He hath chosen!
Is Allah best, or (all) that ye ascribe as partners (unto Him)?
60
Is not He (best) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sendeth down for you water from the sky wherewith
We cause to spring forth joyous orchards, whose trees it never hath been yours to cause to grow. Is there any
God beside Allah? Nay, but they are folk who ascribe equals (unto Him)!
61
Is not He (best) Who made the earth a fixed abode, and placed rivers in the folds thereof,
and placed firm hills therein, and hath set a barrier between the two seas? Is there any God beside Allah? Nay,
but most of them know not!
62
Is not He (best) Who answereth the wronged one when he crieth unto Him and removeth the evil, and hath made you
viceroys of the earth? Is there any God beside Allah? Little do they reflect!
63
Is not He (best) Who guideth you in the darkness of the land and the sea, He Who sendeth the winds as heralds
of His mercy? Is there any God beside Allah? High Exalted be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!
64
Is not He (best) Who produceth creation, then reproduceth it, and Who provideth for you from the heaven and the
earth? Is there any God beside Allah? Say: Bring your proof, if ye are truthful!
65
Say (O Muhammad): None in the heavens and the earth knoweth the Unseen save Allah; and they know not when they
will be raised (again).
66
Nay, but doth their knowledge reach to the Hereafter? Nay, for they are in doubt concerning it. Nay, for they cannot see it.
67
Yet those who disbelieve say: When we have become dust like our fathers,
shall we verily be brought forth (again)?
68
We were promised this, forsooth, we and our fathers. (All) this is naught but fables of the men of old.
69
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Travel in the land and see the nature of the sequel for the guilty!
70
And grieve thou not for them, nor be in distress because of what they plot (against thee).
71
And they say: When (will) this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful?
72
Say: It may be that a part of that which ye would hasten on is close behind you.
73
Lo! thy Lord is full of bounty for mankind, but most of them do not give thanks.
74
Lo! thy Lord knoweth surely all that their bosoms hide, and all that they proclaim.
75
And there is nothing hidden in the heaven or the earth but it is in a clear Record.
76
Lo! this Qur'an narrateth unto the Children of Israel most of that concerning which they differ.
77
And lo! it is a guidance and a mercy for believers.
78
Lo! thy Lord will judge between them of His wisdom, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
79
Therefore (O Muhammad) put thy trust in Allah, for thou (standest) on the plain Truth.
80
Lo! thou canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call when they have turned to flee;
81
Nor canst thou lead the blind out of their error. Thou canst make none to hear, save those who believe
Our revelations and who have surrendered.
82
And when the word is fulfilled concerning them, We shall bring forth a beast of the earth to speak unto them
because mankind had not faith in Our revelations.
83
And (remind them of) the Day when We shall gather out of every nation a host of those who denied Our revelations,
and they will be set in array;
84
Till, when they come (before their Lord), He will say: Did ye deny My revelations when ye could not compass
them in knowledge, or what was it that ye did?
85
And the Word will be fulfilled concerning them because they have done wrong, and they will not speak.
86
Have they not seen how We have appointed the night that they may rest therein, and the day sight-giving? Lo!
therein verily are portents for a people who believe.
87
And (remind them of) the Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and the earth will start
in fear, save him whom Allah willeth. And all come unto Him, humbled.
88
And thou seest the hills thou deemest solid flying with the flight of clouds: the doing of Allah Who
perfecteth all things. Lo! He is Informed of what ye do.
89
Whoso bringeth a good deed will have better than its worth; and such are safe from fear that Day.
90
And whoso bringeth an ill-deed, such will be flung down on their faces in
the Fire. Are ye rewarded aught save what ye did?
91
(Say): I (Muhammad) am commanded only to serve the Lord of this land which He hath hallowed, and
unto Whom all things belong. And I am commanded to be of those who surrender (unto Him),
92
And to recite the Qur'an. And whoso goeth right, goeth right only for (the good of) his own soul; and as for
him who goeth astray - (Unto him) say: Lo! I am only a warner.
93
And say: Praise be to Allah Who will show you His portents so that ye shall know them. And thy Lord is not
unaware of what ye (mortals) do.
