إِنّا جَعَلناهُ قُرآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَعَلَّكُم تَعقِلونَ

Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand.

وَإِنَّهُ في أُمِّ الكِتابِ لَدَينا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكيمٌ

And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.

أَفَنَضرِبُ عَنكُمُ الذِّكرَ صَفحًا أَن كُنتُم قَومًا مُسرِفينَ

Then should We turn the message away, disregarding you, because you are a transgressing people?

وَكَم أَرسَلنا مِن نَبِيٍّ فِي الأَوَّلينَ

And how many a prophet We sent among the former peoples,

وَما يَأتيهِم مِن نَبِيٍّ إِلّا كانوا بِهِ يَستَهزِئونَ

But there would not come to them a prophet except that they used to ridicule him.

وَلَئِن سَأَلتَهُم مَن خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ لَيَقولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ العَزيزُ العَليمُ

And if you should ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "They were created by the Exalted in Might, the Knowing."

الَّذي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الأَرضَ مَهدًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم فيها سُبُلًا لَعَلَّكُم تَهتَدونَ

[The one] who has made for you the earth a bed and made for you upon it roads that you might be guided

وَالَّذي نَزَّلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً بِقَدَرٍ فَأَنشَرنا بِهِ بَلدَةً مَيتًا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ تُخرَجونَ

And who sends down rain from the sky in measured amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land - thus will you be brought forth -

وَالَّذي خَلَقَ الأَزواجَ كُلَّها وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِنَ الفُلكِ وَالأَنعامِ ما تَركَبونَ

And who created the species, all of them, and has made for you of ships and animals those which you mount.

لِتَستَووا عَلىٰ ظُهورِهِ ثُمَّ تَذكُروا نِعمَةَ رَبِّكُم إِذَا استَوَيتُم عَلَيهِ وَتَقولوا سُبحانَ الَّذي سَخَّرَ لَنا هـٰذا وَما كُنّا لَهُ مُقرِنينَ

That you may settle yourselves upon their backs and then remember the favor of your Lord when you have settled upon them and say. "Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have [otherwise] subdued it.
