100 And it is not for any soul to believe except by Allāh’s permission. And He casts uncleanness on those who will not understand.

101 Say: Behold what is in the heavens and the earth! And signs and warners avail not a people who believe not.

102 What do they wait for, then, but the like of the days of those who passed away before them? Say: Wait then; I, too, am with you of those who wait.

103 Then We deliver Our messengers and those who believe — even so (now); it is binding on Us to deliver the believers.

104 Say: O people, if you are in doubt as to my religion, (know that) I serve not those whom you serve besides Allāh, but I serve Allāh, Who causes you to die; and I am commanded to be of the believers,

105 And that thou set thy purpose towards the Religion uprightly; and be not of the polytheists.

106 And call not besides Allāh on that which can neither benefit thee nor harm thee; for if thou dost, thou shalt then be of the unjust.

107 And if Allāh afflicts thee with harm, there is none to remove it but He; and if He intends good to thee, there is none to repel His grace. He brings it to whom He pleases of His servants. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

108 Say: O people, the Truth has indeed come to you from your Lord; so whoever goes aright, goes aright only for the good of his own soul; and whoever errs, errs only against it. And I am not a custodian over you.

109 And follow what is revealed to thee and be patient till Allāh give judgment, and He is the Best of the judges.

Chapter 11 Hūd

1 I, Allāh, am the Seer. A Book, whose verses are characterized by wisdom, then they are made plain, from One Wise, Aware:

2 That you should serve none but Allāh. Surely I am to you from Him a warner and a giver of good news.
