In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the
Most
Merciful. A
Book has been sent down from the Most Gracious, the Most
Merciful, a Qur’an whose verses are detailed in Arabic for a people who know, as a bringer of good tidings and a warner. But most of them turn away, so they do not hear. They
say, “Our hearts are within coverings from that to which you invite us, and in our ears is deafness, and between us and you is a partition. So work, then work, for we are doing.” Say, “
I am only a
man like you, to whom is revealed
revelation. Your
god is
one God, so be upright.” So be upright toward Him. So be upright toward Him. And ask His forgiveness. And woe to the
polytheists who do not give zakah, and they, in
the Hereafter, are
disbelievers. Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds will have a
reward uninterrupted.
Say, “Do
you
disbelieve in He who created the earth in two days and set up rivals
to Him?
That is the Lord of the
worlds. And He placed therein firm mountains from above it and blessed it and
measured
therein its
sustenance.
In four
days,
equal for those who ask.”
Then He
directed Himself to
the heaven while it was
smoke and said to it and to the earth, “Come both of you, willingly
or by
compulsion.” They said, “
We have come.”
Obediently, He completed them as
seven
heavens in two days and
inspired in each
heaven
its command. And He
adorned the
lowest heaven with
lamps and
as protection. That is the determination of the Almighty, the Knowing.
