1.2
Praise belongs to God, the Lord of all Being,
1.3
the All-merciful, the All-compassionate,
1.4
the Master of the Day of Doom.
2.20
the lightning wellnigh snatches away their sight;
whensoever it gives them light, they walk in it,
and when the darkness is over them, they halt;
had God willed, He would have taken away
their hearing and their sight.
Truly, God is powerful over everything.
2.28
How do you disbelieve in God, seeing you were dead
and He gave you life, then He shall make you dead,
then He shall give you life, then unto Him
you shall be returned?
2.29
It is He who created for you all that is
in the earth, then He lifted Himself to heaven
and levelled them seven heavens; and He has
knowledge of everything.
2.115
To God belongs the East and the West;
whithersoever you turn, there is the Face of God;
God is All-embracing, All-knowing.
2.118
And they that know not say, "Why does God not
speak to us? Why does a sign not come to us?"
So spoke those before them as these men say;
their hearts are much alike. Yet We have made
clear the signs unto a people who are sure.
2.163
Your God is One God;
there is no god but He,
the All-merciful, the All-compassionate.
2.164
Surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth
and the alternation of night and day
and the ship that runs in the sea with profit
to men, and the water God sends down from heaven
therewith reviving the earth after it is dead
and His scattering abroad in it all manner of
crawling thing, and the turning about of the winds
and the clouds compelled between heaven and earth -
surely there are signs for a people having
understanding.
2.185
the month of Ramadan, wherein the Koran
was sent down to be a guidance
to the people, and as clear signs
of the Guidance and the Salvation.
So let those of you, who are present
at the month, fast it; and if any of you
be sick, or if he be on a journey,
then a number of other days; God desires
ease for you, and desires not hardship
for you; and that you fulfil the number, and
magnify God that He has guided you, and haply
you will be thankful.
2.186
And when My servants question thee
concerning Me - I am near to answer
the call of the caller, when he calls
to Me; so let them respond to Me,
and let them believe in Me; haply so
they will go aright.
2.255
God
there is no god but He, the
Living, the Everlasting.
Slumber seizes Him not, neither sleep;
to Him belongs
all that is in the heavens and the earth.
Who is there that shall intercede with Him
save by His leave?
He knows what lies before them
and what is after them,
and they comprehend not anything of His knowledge
save such as He wills.
His Throne comprises the heavens and earth;
the preserving of them oppresses Him not;
He is the All-high, the All-glorious.
2.258
Hast thou not regarded him who disputed
with Abraham, concerning his Lord,
that God had given him the kingship? When
Abraham said, "My Lord is He who gives
life and makes to die," he said, "I give
life and make to die." Said Abraham, "God
brings the sun from the east; so bring thou
it from the west." Then the unbeliever
was confounded. God guides not the people
of the evildoers
3.5
From God nothing whatever is hidden
in heaven and earth.
3.6
It is He who forms you
in the womb as He will. There is no god but He,
the All-mighty, the All-wise.
3.160
If God helps you, none can overcome you;
but if He forsakes you, who then can help you
after Him? Therefore in God let the believers
put all their trust.
4.79
Whatever good visits thee, it is of God;
whatever evil visits thee is of thyself."
And We have sent thee to men a Messenger; God
suffices for a witness.
4.134
Whoso desires the reward of this world,
with God is the reward of this world
and of the world to come; God is
All-hearing, All-seeing.
5.101
Know God is terrible in retribution, and
God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.
5.123
To God belongs the kingdom of the heavens
and of the earth, and all that is in them,
and He is powerful over everything.
6.12
Say: "To whom belongs what is in the heavens
and in the earth?" Say: "It is God's
He has prescribed for Himself mercy. He will
surely gather you to the Resurrection Day, of
which there is no doubt. Those who have lost their
souls,
they do not believe.
6.13
And to Him belongs whatsoever inhabits
the night and the day; and He is
the All-hearing, the All-knowing."
6.14
Say: "Shall I take to myself as protector
other than God, the Originator of the heavens
and of the earth, He who feeds and is not fed?"
Say: "I have been commanded to be the first
of them that surrender: `Be not thou
of the idolaters.'"
6.95
It is God who splits the grain and the date-stone,
brings forth the living from the dead; He
brings forth the dead too from the living.
So that then is God; then how are you perverted?
6.96
He splits the sky into dawn,
and has made the night for a repose,
and the sun and moon for a reckoning.
That is the ordaining of the All-mighty, the
All-knowing.
6.97
It is He who has appointed for you the stars, that
by them you may be guided in
the shadows of land and sea.
We have distinguished the signs for a people who know.
6.98
It is He who produced you from one living soul,
and then a lodging-place,
and then a repository.
We have distinguished the signs for a people who
understand.
6.99
It is He who sent down out of heaven water, and
thereby We have brought forth
the shoot of every plant,
and then We have brought forth the green leaf of it,
bringing forth from it
close-compounded grain,
and out of the palm-tree, from the spathe of it,
dates thick-clustered,
ready to the hand, and
gardens of vines,
olives, pomegranates,
like each to each, and
each unlike to each.
Look upon their fruits when they fructify and ripen!
Surely, in all this are signs for a people who do
believe.
6.102
That then is God your Lord;
there is no god but He,
the Creator of everything.
So serve Him,
for He is Guardian over everything.
6.103
The eyes attain Him not, but He attains the eyes;
He is the All-subtle, the All-aware.
6.104
Clear proofs have come to you from you Lord.
Whoso sees clearly, it is to his own gain,
and whoso is blind, it is to his own loss;
I am not a watcher over you.
7.54
Surely your Lord is God, who created the heavens
and the earth in six days -
then sat Himself upon the Throne,
covering the day with the night
it pursues urgently -
and the sun, and the moon and the stars
subservient, by His command.
Verily, His are the creation and the command.
Blessed be God,
the Lord of all Being.
7.55
Call on your Lord, humbly and secretly; He
loves not transgressors.
7.56
Do not corruption in the land, after
it has been set right;
and call on Him fearfully, eagerly -
surely the mercy of God is nigh
to the good-doers.
7.57
It is He who looses the winds, bearing good tidings
before His mercy,
till, when they are charged with heavy clouds, We drive
it
to a dead land
and therewith send down water, and bring forth
therewith
all the fruits.
Even so We shall bring forth the dead; haply
you will remember.
7.58
And the good land - its vegetation comes forth by the
leave of its Lord,
and the corrupt - it comes forth but scantily.
Even so We turn about the signs for a people
that are thankful.
8.29
O believers, if you fear God, He will assign
you a salvation, and acquit you of your
evil deeds, and forgive you; and God is
of bounty abounding.
8.61
And if they incline to peace, do thou incline
to it; and put thy trust in God; He is
the All-hearing, the All-knowing.
10.3
Surely your Lord is God, who created
the heavens and the earth in six days,
then sat Himself upon the Throne,
directing the affair. Intercessor
there is none, save after His leave.
that then is God, your Lord; so serve Him.
Will you not remember?
10.4
To Him shall you return, all together -
God's promise, in truth. He originates
creation, then He brings it back again
that He may recompense those who believe
and do deeds of righteousness, justly. And
those who disbelieve - for them awaits a draught
of boiling water, and a painful chastisement,
for their disbelieving.
10.5
It is He who made the sun a radiance,
and the moon a light,
and determined it by stations, that you
might know the number of the years
and the reckoning.
God created that not save with the truth,
distinguishing the signs
to a people who know.
10.6
In the alternation of the night and day, and
what God has created in the heavens and
the earth - surely there are signs for
a godfearing people.
10.109
And follow thou what is revealed to thee;
and be thou patient
until God shall judge; and He is
the best of judges.
11.123
To God belongs the Unseen in the heavens and the earth.
To Him the whole matter shall be returned; so serve
Him,
and put thy trust in Him. Thy Lord is not heedless of
the things you do.
13.2
God is He who raised up the heavens
without pillars you can see,
then He sat Himself upon the Throne.
He subjected the sun and the moon,
each one running to a term stated.
He directs the affair; He
distinguishes the signs;
haply you will have faith in the encounter
with your Lord.
13.3
It is He who stretched out the earth
and set therein
firm mountains and rivers,
and of every fruit He placed there two kinds,
covering the day with the night.
Surely in that are signs for a people who reflect.
13.4
And on the earth are tracts neighbouring
each to each,
and gardens of vines,
and fields sown,
and palms in pairs, and palms single,
watered with one water;
and some of them We prefer in produce
above others.
Surely in that are signs for a people who understand.
13.8
God knows what every female bears,
and the wombs' shrinking and swelling;
everything with Him has its measure -
13.9
the Knower of the unseen and the visible,
the All-great, the All-exalted.
13.10
Alike of you is he who conceals his
saying, and he who proclaims it, he
who hides himself in the night, and
he who sallies by day;
13.11
he has attendant angels, before him and behind him,
watching over him by God's command.
God changes not what is in a people, until they
change what is in themselves.
Whensoever God desires evil for a people, there is
no turning it back;
apart from Him, they have no protector.
13.12
It is He who shows you the lightning, for fear and
hope,
and produces the heavy clouds;
13.13
the thunder proclaims His praise, and the angels,
in awe of Him.
He looses the thunderbolts, and smites with them
whomsoever He will; yet they
dispute about God, who is mighty in power.
13.14
To Him is the call of truth;
and those upon whom they call, apart from Him,
answer them nothing,
but it is as a man who stretches out his hands to water
that it may reach his mouth,
and it reaches it not. The prayer of the unbelievers
goes only astray.
13.15
To God bow all who are in the heavens and the earth,
willingly of unwillingly,
as do their shadows also in the mornings and the
evenings.
13.16
Say: "Who is the Lord of the heavens and of the
earth?"
Say: "God."
Say: "Then have you taken unto you others beside
Him
to be your protectors, even
such as have no power to profit or hurt
themselves?"
Say: "Are the blind and the seeing man
equal, or are the shadows and the light equal?
Or have they ascribed to God
associates who created as He created, so that creation
is all alike to them?"
Say: "God is the Creator of everything, and He is
the One, the Omnipotent."
13.17
He sends down out of heaven water,
and the wadis flow each in its measure,
and the torrent carries a swelling scum;
and out of that over which they kindle
fire, being desirous of ornament or ware,
out of that rises a scum the like of it.
So God strikes both the true and the false.
As for the scum, it vanishes as jetsam,
and what profits men abides in the earth.
Even so God strikes His similitudes.
13.26
God outspreads and straitens His provision
unto whomsoever He will. They rejoice in
this present life; and this present life,
beside the world to come, is naught but
passing enjoyment.
13.28
Those who believe, their hearts being at rest
in God's remembrance - in God's remembrance
are at rest the hearts
13.29
of those who believe
and do righteous deeds; theirs is blessedness
and a fair resort.
14.19
Hast thou not seen that God created
the heavens and the earth in truth?
If He will, He can put you away
and bring a new creation;
14.20
that is
surely no great matter for God.
14.32
It is God who created the heavens and the earth,
and sent down out of heaven water
wherewith He brought forth fruits to be your
sustenance.
And He subjected to you the ships
to run upon the sea at His commandment;
and He subjected to you the rivers
14.33
and He subjected to you the sun and moon
constant upon their courses,
and He subjected to you the night and day,
14.34
and gave you all you asked Him.
If you count God's blessing, you will never number it;
surely man is sinful, unthankful!
16.65
And it is God, who sends down out of heaven water,
and therewith revives the
earth after it is dead.
Surely in that is a sign for a people who have ears.
16.66
And surely in the cattle there is a lesson for you;
We give you to drink of
what is in their bellies,
between filth and blood, pure milk, sweet to drinkers.
16.67
And of the fruits of the palms and the vines, you take
therefrom an intoxicant
and a provision fair.
Surely in that is a sign for a people who understand.
16.68
And thy Lord revealed unto the bees, saying:
"Take unto yourselves,
of the mountains, houses,
and of the trees, and of what they are building.
16.69
Then eat of all manner of fruit, and follow
the ways of your Lord
easy to go upon."
Then comes there forth out of their bellies a drink
of diverse hues wherein
is healing for men.
Surely in that is a sign for a people who reflect.
16.70
God created you; then He will gather you
to Him; and some of you will be kept back
unto the vilest state of life, that after
knowing somewhat, they may know nothing;
God is All-knowing, All-powerful.
16.71
And God has preferred some of you over others
in provision; but those that were preferred
shall not give over their provision
to that their right hands possess, so that
they may be equal therein. What, and do they
deny God's blessing?
16.72
God has appointed for you of yourselves wives,
and He has appointed for you of your wives
sons and grandsons, and He has provided you
of the good things. What, do they believe
in vanity, and do they disbelieve
in God's blessing?
16.73
And do they serve, apart from God,
that which has no power to provide them
anything from the heavens and the earth
and can do nothing?
16.74
So strike not any similitudes for God;
surely God knows,
and you know not.
16.77
To God belongs the Unseen in the heavens
and in the earth.
And the matter of the Hour is as a twinkling of
the eye, or nearer.
Surely God is powerful over everything.
16.78
And it is God who brought you forth,
knowing nothing, from your mothers' wombs,
and He appointed for you hearing,
and sight, and hearts,
that haply so you will be thankful.
16.79
Have they not regarded the birds, that are subjected
in the air of heaven?
Naught holds them but God;
surely in that are signs for a people who believe.
16.80
And it is God who has appointed
a place of rest
for you of your houses, and He has
appointed for you
of the skins of the cattle houses
you find light
on the day that you journey, and on
the day you abide,
and of their wool, and of their fur,
and of their hair
furnishing and an enjoyment for a while.
16.81
And it is God who has appointed
for you coverings
of the things He created, and He has
appointed for you
of the mountains refuges, and He has
appointed for you
shirts to protect you from the heat, and
shirts to protect
you from your own violence. Even so He
perfects His blessing
upon you, that haply you will surrender.
16.82
So, if they turn
their backs, thine it is only to deliver
the manifest Message.
16.83
They recognize the blessing of God,
then they deny it,
and the most of them are unthankful.
16.96
What is with you comes to an end, but
what is with God abides; and surely
We shall recompense those who were patient
their wage, according to the best
of what they did.
16.97
And whosoever does a righteous deed,
be it male or female, believing, We
shall assuredly give him to live a
goodly life; and We shall recompense them
their wage, according to the best
of what they did.
17.96
Say: "God suffices as a witness between me
and you; surely He is aware of and sees
His servants."
17.110
Say: "Call upon God, or call upon
the Merciful; whichsoever you call
upon, to Him belong the Names Most
Beautiful."
18.23
And do not say, regarding anything,
"I am going to do that tomorrow,"
18.24
but only, "If God will"; and mention
thy Lord, when thou forgettest, and say,
"It may be that my Lord will guide me
unto something nearer to rectitude
than this."
20.8
God -
there is no god but
He.
To Him belong the Names Most Beautiful.
20.98
Your God is only the One God;
there is no god, but He alone
who in His knowledge embraces everything."
22.61
That is because God makes the night to enter into the
day
and makes the day to enter the night; and that God is
All-hearing, All-seeing.
22.62
That is because God - He is the Truth, and that they
call upon
apart from Him - that is the false; and for that God is
the All-high, the All-great.
22.63
Hast thou not seen how that God has sent down out of
heaven
water, and in the morning the earth becomes green? God
is
All-subtle, All-aware.
22.64
To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the
earth;
surely God - He is the All-sufficient, the
All-laudable.
22.65
Hast thou not seen how that God has subjected to you
all that is in the earth
and the ships to run upon the sea at His commandment,
and He holds back heaven
lest it should fall upon the earth, save by His leave?
Surely God is All-gently to men, All-compassionate.
22.66
It is He who gave you
life, then He shall make you dead, then He shall give
you life.
Surely man is ungrateful.
22.75
God chooses of the angels Messengers
and of mankind; surely God is
All-hearing, All-seeing.
22.76
He knows whatsoever is before them
and behind them, and unto God all
matters are returned.
24.35
God is the Light of the heavens and the earth;
the likeness of His Light is as a niche
wherein is a lamp
(the lamp in a glass,
the glass as it were a glittering star)
kindled from a Blessed Tree,
an olive that is neither of the East nor of the West
whose oil wellnigh would shine, even if no fire touched
it;
Light upon Light;
(God guides to His Light whom He will.)
(And God strikes similitudes for men,
and God has knowledge of everything.)
24.41
Hast thou not seen how that whatsoever is in the
heavens
and in the earth extols God,
and the birds spreading their wings?
Each - He knows its prayer and its extolling; and God
knows
the things they do.
24.42
To God belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the
earth,
and to Him is the homecoming.
24.43
Hast thou not seen how God drives the clouds, then
composes them,
then converts them into a mass,
then thou seest the rain issuing out of the midst of
them?
And He smites whom He will with it, and turns it aside
from whom He will;
wellnigh the gleam of His lightning snatches away the
sight.
24.44
God turns about the day and the night;
surely in that is a lesson for those who have eyes.
24.45
God has created every beast of water,
and some of them go upon their bellies,
and some of them go upon two feet,
and some of them go upon four; God
creates whatever He will; God is powerful
over everything.
24.46
Now We have sent down signs making all
clear; God guides whomsoever He will
to a straight path.
24.64
Why, surely to God belongs whatsoever is in the heavens
and the earth; He ever knows what state you are upon;
and the day when they shall be returned to Him, then He
will tell them of what they did; and God knows
everything.
25.58
Put thy trust in the Living God,
the Undying,
and proclaim His praise.
Sufficiently is He aware of His servants' sins
25.59
who created the heavens and the earth,
and what between them is, in six days,
then sat Himself upon the Throne,
the All-compassionate: ask any informed of Him!
25.60
But when they are told, "Bow yourselves
to the All-merciful," they say, "And what
is the All-merciful? Shall we bow ourselves
to what thou biddest us?" And it increases
them in aversion.
25.61
Blessed be He
who has set in heaven constellations, and has set
among them a lamp, and
an illuminating moon.
25.62
And it is He who made the night and day a succession
for whom He desires to remember
or He desires to be thankful.
26.217
Put thy trust in the All-mighty, the All-compassionate
26.218
who sees thee when thou standest
26.219
and when thou turnest about among those who bow.
26.220
Surely He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing.
27.59
Say: "Praise belongs to God,
and peace be on His servants
whom He has chosen."
What, is God better, or that
they associate?
27.60
He who created the heavens and earth, and sent down for
you
out of heaven water;
and We caused to grow therewith gardens full of
loveliness
whose trees you could never grow.
Is there a god with God?
Nay, but they are a people who assign to Him equals!
27.61
He who made the earth a fixed place
and set amidst it rivers
and appointed for it firm mountains
and place a partition between the two seas.
Is there a god with God?
Nay, but the most of them have no knowledge.
27.62
He who answers the constrained, when he calls unto Him,
and removes the evil
and appoints you to be successors in the earth.
Is there a god with God?
Little indeed do you remember.
27.63
He who guides you in the shadows of the land and the
sea
and looses the winds,
bearing good tidings before His mercy.
Is there a god with God?
High exalted be God, above that which they associate!
27.64
Who originates creation, then brings it back again,
and provides you out of heaven and earth.
Is there a god with God?
Say: "Produce your proof, if you speak
truly."
27.65
Say: "None knows the unseen in the heavens and
earth
except God.
And they are not aware
when they shall be raised;
27.66
nay, but their knowledge fails as to the Hereafter;
nay, they are in doubt of it;
nay, they are blind to it.
28.60
Whatever thing you have been given
is the enjoyment of the present life
and its adornment; and what is with
God is better and more enduring.
Will you not understand?
28.70
And He is God;
there is no god but He.
His is the praise
in the former as in the latter;
His too is the Judgement
and unto Him you shall be returned.
28.71
Say: "What think you? If God should make
the night unceasing over you, until
the Day of Resurrection, what god other
than God shall bring you illumination?
Will you not hear?"
28.72
Say: "What think you? If God should make
the day unceasing over you, until
the Day of Resurrection, what god other
than God shall bring you night to repose in?
Will you not see?
28.73
Of His mercy He has appointed for you
night and day, for you to repose in
and seek after His bounty, that haply
you will be thankful."
28.88
And call not upon another god with God;
there is no god but He.
All things perish, except His Face.
His is the Judgement,
and unto Him you shall be returned.
29.41
The likeness of those who have taken
to them protectors, apart from God,
is as the likeness of the spider that take
to itself a house; and surely the frailest
of houses is the house of the spider,
did they but know.
29.42
God knows whatever thing they call upon
apart from Him; He is the All-mighty,
the All-wise.
29.43
And those similitudes - We strike them
for the people, but none understands them
save those who know.
29.44
God created the heavens and the earth
with the truth; surely in that is a sign
to the believers.
29.60
How many a beast that bears not its own
provision, but God provides for it and you!
He is the All-hearer, the All-knower.
30.17
So Glory be to God
both in your evening hour
and in your morning hour.
30.18
His is the praise
in the Heavens and earth,
alike at the setting sun
and in your noontide hour.
30.19
He brings forth the living from the dead,
and brings forth the dead from the living,
and He revives the earth after it is dead;
even so you shall be brought forth.
30.20
And of His signs
is that He created you of dust; then lo,
you are mortals, all scattered abroad.
30.21
And of His signs
is that He created for you, of yourselves,
spouses, that you might repose in them,
and He has set between you love and mercy.
Surely in that are signs for a people who consider.
30.22
And of His signs
is the creation of the heavens and earth
and the variety of your tongues and hues.
Surely in that are signs for all living beings.
30.23
And of His signs
is your slumbering by night and day,
and your seeking after His bounty.
Surely in that are signs for a people who hear.
30.24
And of His signs
He shows you lightning, for fear and hope,
and that He sends down out of heaven water
and He revives the earth after it is dead.
Surely in that are signs for a people who understand.
30.25
And of His signs
is that the heaven and earth stand firm
by His command; then, when He calls you
once and suddenly, out of the earth, lo
you shall come forth.
30.26
To Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and the
earth;
all obey His will.
30.27
And it is He who originates creation,
then brings it back again,
and it is very easy for Him.
His is the loftiest likeness in the heavens and the
earth;
He is the All-mighty, the All-wise.
30.40
God is He that created you, then He provided for you,
then He shall make you dead, then He shall give you
life;
is there any of your associates does aught of that?
Glory be to Him! High be He exalted above that
they associate!
30.48
God is He that looses the winds, that stir up clouds,
and He spreads them in heaven how He will, and shatters
them;
then thou seest the rain issuing out of the midst of
them,
and when He smites with it whomsoever of His servants
He will, lo, they rejoice,
30.49
although before it was sent down on them before that
they had been in despair.
30.50
So behold the marks of God's mercy,
how He quickens the earth after it
was dead; surely He is the quickener
of the dead, and He is powerful
over everything.
30.54
God is He that created you of weakness, then He
appointed
after weakness strength, then after strength He
appointed
weakness and grey hairs; He creates what He will, and
He is the All-knowing, the All-powerful.
31.26
To God belongs all that is in the heavens and the
earth;
surely God - He is the All-sufficient, the
All-laudable.
31.27
Though all the trees in the earth were
pens, and the sea - seven seas after it
to replenish it,
yet would the Words of God not be spent.
God is All-mighty, All-wise.
31.28
Your creation and your upraising are as
but as a single soul.
God is All-hearing, All-seeing.
31.29
Hast thou not seen how that God makes the night to
enter into the day
and makes the day to enter into the night.
and He has subjected the sun and the moon, each of them
running
to a stated term,
and that God is aware of what you do?
31.30
That is because God - He is the Truth, and that they
call upon
apart from Him - that is the false; and for that God is
the All-high, the All-great.
31.31
Hast thou not seen how that the ships run upon the sea
by the
blessing of God, that He may show you some of His
signs?
Surely in that are signs for every man
enduring, thankful.
31.32
And when the waves cover them like shadows
they call upon God, making their religion
sincerely His; but when He has delivered them
to the land, some of them are lukewarm.
And none denies Our signs, except every
ungrateful traitor.
31.34
Surely God - He has knowledge of the Hour;
He sends down the rain; He knows what is in the wombs.
No soul knows what it shall earn tomorrow, and
no soul knows in what land it shall die.
Surely God is All-knowing, All-aware.
32.4
God is He that created the heavens and the earth,
and what between them is, in six days,
then seated Himself upon the Throne.
Apart from Him, you have no protector
neither mediator; will you not remember?
32.5
He directs the affair from heaven to earth,
then it goes up to Him in one day, whose measure is
a thousand years of your counting.
32.6
He is the knower of the Unseen and the Visible,
the All-mighty, the All-compassionate,
32.7
who has created all things well.
And He originated the creation of man
out of clay,
32.8
then He fashioned his progeny of an extraction of
mean water,
32.9
then He shaped him, and breathed His spirit in him.
And He appointed for you hearing, and sight, and
hearts;
little thanks you show.
33.41
O believers, remember God oft,
33.42
and give Him glory at the dawn and in the evening.
33.43
It is He who blesses you, and His angels,
to bring you forth from the shadows into the light.
He is All-compassionate to the believers.
33.44
Their greeting, on the day when they shall meet Him,
will be "Peace!" And He has prepared for them
a generous wage.
35.9
God is He that looses the winds, that stir up cloud,
then We drive it to a dead land
and therewith revive the earth, after it is dead.
Even so is the Uprising.
35.10
Whosoever desires glory,
the glory altogether belongs to God.
To Him good words go up,
and the righteous deed - He uplifts it;
but those who devise evil deeds - theirs shall be
a terrible chastisement,
and their devising shall come to naught.
35.11
God created you of dust
then of a sperm drop,
then He made you pairs.
No female bears or brings forth, save with His
knowledge;
and none is given long life who is given long life
neither is any diminished in his life, but it is in a
Book.
Surely that is easy for God.
39.42
God takes the souls at the time of their death,
and that which has not died, in its sleep;
He withholds that against which He has decreed death,
but looses the other till a stated term.
Surely in that are signs for a people who reflect.
39.62
God is the Creator of everything;
He is Guardian over everything;
39.63
unto Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth.
And those who disbelieve in the signs of God,
those - they are the losers.
39.67
They measure not God with His true measure.
The earth altogether shall be His handful
on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens
shall be rolled up in His right hand.
Glory be to Him! High be He exalted above
that they associate!
40.2
The sending down of the Book is from God
the All-mighty, the All-knowing,
40.3
Forgiver of sins, Accepter of penitence,
Terrible in retribution,
the Bountiful;
there is no god but He,
and unto Him is the homecoming.
40.61
It is God who made for you the night, to repose in it,
and the day, to see.
Surely God is bountiful to men, but most men
are not thankful.
40.62
That then is God, your Lord, the Creator of everything;
there is no god but He.
How then are you perverted?
40.63
Even so perverted are they who deny
the signs of God.
40.64
It is God who made for you the earth a fixed place
and heaven for an edifice;
And He shaped you, and shaped you well,
and provided you with the good things.
That then is God, your Lord, so blessed be God,
the Lord of all Being.
40.65
He is the Living One;
there is no god but He.
So call upon Him, making your religion
His sincerely. Praise belongs to God,
the Lord of all Being.
40.67
It is He who created you of dust
then of a sperm-drop,
then of a blood-clot,
then He delivers you as infants,
then that you may come of age,
then that you may be old men -
though some of you there are who die before it -
and that you may reach a stated term;
haply you will understand.
40.68
It is He who gives life, and makes to die;
and when He decrees a thing, He but says to it
"Be," and it is.
57.1
All that is in the heavens and the earth magnifies God;
He is the All-mighty, the All-wise.
57.2
To Him belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the
earth;
He gives life, and He makes to die, and He is powerful
over everything.
57.3
He is the First and the Last, the Outward and the
Inward;
He has knowledge of everything.
57.4
It is He that created the heavens and the earth
in six days
then seated Himself on the Throne.
He knows what penetrates into the earth,
and what comes forth from it,
what comes down from heaven, and what goes up unto it.
He is with you wherever you are; and God sees
the things you do.
57.5
To Him belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the
earth;
and unto Him all matters are returned.
57.6
He makes the night to enter into the day
and makes the day to enter into the night.
He knows the thoughts within the breasts.
59.22
He is God;
there is no god but He.
He is the knower of the Unseen and the Visible;
He is the All-merciful, the All-compassionate.
59.23
He is God;
there is no god but He.
He is the King, the All-holy, the All-peacable,
the All-faithful, the All-preserver,
the All-mighty, the All-compeller,
the All-sublime.
Glory be to God, above that they associate!
59.24
He is God,
the Creator, the Maker, the Shaper.
To Him belong the Names Most Beautiful.
All that is in the heavens and the earth magnifies Him;
He is the All-mighty, the All-wise.
65.12
It is God who created seven heavens, and of earth their
like,
between them the Command descending,
that you may know that God is powerful over everything
and that God encompasses everything in knowledge.
71.13
What ails you, that you look not for
majesty in God,
71.14
seeing He created you by stages?
71.15
Have you not regarded how God
created seven heavens one upon
another,
71.16
and set the moon therein for a light
and the sun for a lamp?
71.17
And God has caused you to grow out of
the earth,
71.18
then He shall return you into it,
and bring you forth.
71.19
And God has laid the earth for you
as a carpet,
71.20
that thereof you may thread ways,
ravines.'"
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
112.1
Say: "He is God, One,
112.2
God, the Everlasting Refuge,
112.3
who has not begotten, and has not been begotten,
112.4
and equal to Him is not any one."
