56 O My servants who believe, surely My earth is vast, so serve Me only.

57 Every soul must taste of death; then to Us you will be returned.

58 And those who believe and do good, We shall certainly give them an abode in high places in the Garden wherein flow rivers, abiding therein. Excellent the reward of the workers,

59 Who are patient, and on their Lord they rely!

60 And how many a living creature carries not its sustenance! Allāh sustains it and yourselves. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

61 And if thou ask them, Who created the heavens and the earth and made the sun and the moon subservient? they would say, Allāh. Whence are they then turned away?

62 Allāh makes abundant the means of subsistence for whom He pleases of His servants, or straitens (them) for him. Surely Allāh is Knower of all things.

63 And if thou ask them, Who is it that sends down water from the clouds, then gives life to the earth with it after its death? they will say, Allāh. Say: Praise be to Allāh! Nay, most of them understand not.

64 And the life of this world is but a sport and a play. And the home of the Hereafter, that surely is the Life, did they but know!

65 So when they ride in the ships, they call upon Allāh, being sincerely obedient to Him; but when He brings them safe to the land, lo! they associate others (with Him),

66 That they may be ungrateful for what We have given them, and that they may enjoy. But they shall soon know.

67 See they not that We have made a sacred territory secure, while men are carried off by force from around them? Will they still believe in the falsehood and disbelieve in the favour of Allāh?

68 And who is more iniquitous than one who forges a lie against Allāh, or gives the lie to the Truth, when it has come to him? Is there not an abode in hell for the disbelievers?

69 And those who strive hard for Us, We shall certainly guide them in Our ways. And Allāh is surely with the doers of good.
