1 Allāh’s commandment will come to pass, so seek not to hasten it. Glory be to Him, and highly exalted be He above what they associate (with Him)! |
2 He sends down angels with revelation by His command on whom He pleases of His servants, saying: Give the warning that there is no God but Me, so keep your duty to Me. |
3 He created the heavens and the earth with truth. Highly exalted be He above what they associate (with Him)! |
4 He created man from a small lifegerm, and lo! he is an open contender. |
5 And the cattle, He has created them for you. You have in them warm clothing and (other) advantages, and of them you eat. |
6 And therein is beauty for you, when you drive them back (home) and when you send them out (to pasture). |
7 And they carry your heavy loads to regions which you could not reach but with distress to yourselves. Surely your Lord is Compassionate, Merciful. |
8 And (He made) horses and mules and asses that you might ride upon them and as an ornament. And He creates what you know not. |
9 And upon Allāh it rests to show the right way, and there are some deviating (ways). And if He please, He would guide you all aright. |
10 He it is Who sends down water from the clouds for you; it gives drink, and by it (grow) the trees on which you feed. |
11 He causes to grow for you thereby herbage, and the olives, and the date-palms, and the grapes, and all the fruits. Surely there is a sign in this for a people who reflect. |
12 And He has made subservient for you the night and the day and the sun and the moon. And the stars are made subservient by His command. Surely there are signs in this for a people who understand. |
