All praise is due to Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the light; yet those who disbelieve set up equals with their Lord.

He it is Who created you from clay, then He decreed a term; and there is a term named with Him; still you doubt.

And He is Allah in the heavens and in the earth; He knows your secret (thoughts) and your open (words), and He knows what you earn.

And there does not come to them any communication of the communications of their Lord but they turn aside from it

So they have indeed rejected the truth when it came to them; therefore the truth of what they mocked at will shine upon them.

Do they not consider how many a generation We have destroyed before them, whom We had established in the earth as We have not established you, and We sent the clouds pouring rain on them in abundance, and We made the rivers to flow beneath them, then We destroyed them on account of their faults and raised up after them another generation.

And if We had sent to you a writing on a paper, then they had touched it with their hands, certainly those who disbelieve would have said: This is nothing but clear enchantment.

And they say: Why has not an angel been sent down to him? And had We sent down an angel, the matter would have certainly been decided and then they would not have been respited.

And if We had made him angel, We would certainly have made him a man, and We would certainly have made confused to them what they make confused.

And certainly apostles before you were mocked at, but that which they mocked at encompassed the scoffers among them.

Say: Travel in the land, then see what was the end of the rejecters.

Say: To whom belongs what is in the heavens and the earth? Say: To Allah; He has ordained mercy on Himself; most certainly He will gather you on the resurrection day-- there is no doubt about it. (As for) those who have lost their souls, they will not believe.

And to Him belongs whatever dwells in the night and the day; and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

Say: Shall I take a guardian besides Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, and He feeds (others) and is not (Himself) fed. Say: I am commanded to be the first who submits himself, and you should not be of the polytheists.

Say: Surely I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the chastisement of a grievous day.

He from whom it is averted on that day, Allah indeed has shown mercy to him; and this is a manifest achievement.

And if Allah touch you with affliction, there is none to take it off but He; and if He visit you with good, then He has power over all things.

And He is the Supreme, above His servants; and He is the Wise, the Aware.

Say: What thing is the weightiest in testimony? Say: Allah is witness between you and me; and this Quran has been revealed to me that with it I may warn you and whomsoever it reaches. Do you really bear witness that there are other gods with Allah? Say: I do not bear witness. Say: He is only one Allah, and surely I am clear of that which you set up (with Him).

Those whom We have given the Book recognize him as they recognize their sons; (as for) those who have lost their souls, they will not believe.

And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah or (he who) gives the lie to His communications; surely the unjust will not be successful.

And on the day when We shall gather them all together, then shall We say to those who associated others (with Allah): Where are your associates whom you asserted?

Then their excuse would be nothing but that they would say: By Allah, our Lord, we were not polytheists.

See how they lie against their own souls, and that which they forged has passed away from them.

And of them is he who hearkens to you, and We have cast veils over their hearts lest they understand it and a heaviness into their ears; and even if they see every sign they will not believe in it; so much so that when they come to you they only dispute with you; those who disbelieve say: This is naught but the stories of the ancients.

And they prohibit (others) from it and go far away from it, and they only bring destruction upon their own souls while they do not perceive.

And could you see when they are made to stand before the fire, then they shall say: Would that we were sent back, and we would not reject the communications of our Lord and we would be of the believers.

Nay, what they concealed before shall become manifest to them; and if they were sent back, they would certainly go back to that which they are forbidden, and most surely they are liars.

And they say: There is nothing but our life of this world, and we shall not be raised.

And could you see when they are made to stand before their Lord. He will say: Is not this the truth? They will say: Yea! by our Lord. He will say: Taste then the chastisement because you disbelieved.
