أَرَأَيتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلـٰهَهُ هَواهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكونُ عَلَيهِ وَكيلًا

Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?

أَم تَحسَبُ أَنَّ أَكثَرَهُم يَسمَعونَ أَو يَعقِلونَ ۚ إِن هُم إِلّا كَالأَنعامِ ۖ بَل هُم أَضَلُّ سَبيلًا

Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock. Rather, they are [even] more astray in [their] way.

أَلَم تَرَ إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ كَيفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّ وَلَو شاءَ لَجَعَلَهُ ساكِنًا ثُمَّ جَعَلنَا الشَّمسَ عَلَيهِ دَليلًا

Have you not considered your Lord - how He extends the shadow, and if He willed, He could have made it stationary? Then We made the sun for it an indication.

ثُمَّ قَبَضناهُ إِلَينا قَبضًا يَسيرًا

Then We hold it in hand for a brief grasp.

وَهُوَ الَّذي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيلَ لِباسًا وَالنَّومَ سُباتًا وَجَعَلَ النَّهارَ نُشورًا

And it is He who has made the night for you as clothing and sleep [a means for] rest and has made the day a resurrection.

لِنُحيِيَ بِهِ بَلدَةً مَيتًا وَنُسقِيَهُ مِمّا خَلَقنا أَنعامًا وَأَناسِيَّ كَثيرًا

That We may bring to life thereby a dead land and give it as drink to those We created of numerous livestock and men.

وَلَقَد صَرَّفناهُ بَينَهُم لِيَذَّكَّروا فَأَبىٰ أَكثَرُ النّاسِ إِلّا كُفورًا

And We have certainly distributed it among them that they might be reminded, but most of the people refuse except disbelief.

وَلَو شِئنا لَبَعَثنا في كُلِّ قَريَةٍ نَذيرًا

And if We had willed, We could have sent into every city a warner.

فَلا تُطِعِ الكافِرينَ وَجاهِدهُم بِهِ جِهادًا كَبيرًا

So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with the Qur'an a great striving.

وَهُوَ الَّذي مَرَجَ البَحرَينِ هـٰذا عَذبٌ فُراتٌ وَهـٰذا مِلحٌ أُجاجٌ وَجَعَلَ بَينَهُما بَرزَخًا وَحِجرًا مَحجورًا

And it is He who has released [simultaneously] the two seas, one fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition.
