In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
44. Had We sent this as a Qur'an other than Arabic, they would have said, "Why are not its verses explained in detail? What! Not in Arabic for an Arab?" Say, "It is a guide and a healing to those who believe, and for those who believe not, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in them. They are being called from a place far distant!"

Qur'an 20100526
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
2. A revelation from the most Gracious, most Merciful.
3. A Book, from which the verses are explained in detail- a Qur'an in Arabic, for people who understand.
4. Giving Good News and Admonition. Yet most of them turn away, and so they hear not.
5. They say, "Our hearts are under veils from that to which you do invite us, and in our ears is a deafness, and between us and you is a screen. So you do what you do, we'll do what we do".
6. Say you, "I am but a man like you. It is revealed to me by inspiration that your God is One God. So stand true to God, and ask for God's forgiveness. And woe to those who join gods with Allah."
7. Those who practise not regular charity, and even deny the Hereafter.
8. For those who believe, and work deeds of righteousness, is a reward that will never fail.
9. Say, "Is it that you deny God who created the earth in 2 Days? And do you join equals with God? God is the Lord of the worlds."
10. God set on it mountains standing firm, high above it, and bestowed blessings on the earth, and measured therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in 4 Days, in accordance with those who seek.
11. Moreover, God comprehended in God's design the sky, and it had been smoke. God said to it and the earth, "Come you together, willingly or unwillingly." They said, "We do come, in willing obedience."
12. So God completed them as 7 firmaments in 2 Days, and God assigned to each heaven its duty and command. And We adorned the lower heaven with lights, and with guard. Such is the Decree of the Exalted in Might, Full of Knowledge.
13. But if they turn away say you, "I have warned you of a stunning Punishment, like that of the 'Ad, and the Thamud!"
Expounded 41:2-13

Qur'an 20100508
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
39. Say, "O my people! Do whatever you can. I will do. But soon will you know."
40. Who it is to whom comes a penalty of ignominy, and on whom descends a penalty that abides.
41. Verily We have revealed the Book to you in Truth, for humans. He then that receives guidance benefits his own soul, but he that strays injures his own soul. Nor are you set over them to dispose of their affairs.
42. It is Allah that takes the souls at death, and those that die not, during their sleep. Those on whom God has passed the decree of death, God keeps back. But the rest God sends for a term appointed. Verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.
43. What... do they take for intercessors other than Allah? Say, "Even if they have no power whatsoever, and no intelligence?"
44. Say, "To Allah belongs exclusively intercession. To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. In the end, it is to God that you shall be brought back."
45. When Allah, the One and Only, is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust and horror, but when gods other than God are mentioned, behold they are filled with joy!
46. Say, "O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of all that is hidden and open! It is You that will judge between Your servants in those matters about which they have differed."
47. Even if the wrongdoers had all that there is on earth, and as much more, would they offer it for ransom from the pain of the Penalty on the Day of Judgement, but something will confront them from Allah which they could never have counted upon!
48. For the evils of their deeds will confront them, and they will be encircled by that which they used to mock at!
49. Now when trouble touches man, he cries to Us: but when We bestow a favor upon him as from Ourselves, he says, "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge." Nay, but this is a trial, but most of them understand not!
50. Thus did those before them say! But all that they did was of no profit to them.
51. No, the evil results of their deeds overtook them, and the wrongdoers of this- the evil results of their deeds will soon overtake them, and they will never be able to frustrate!
Crowds 39:39-51

38. If indeed you ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they would be sure to say, "Allah." Say, "Then, do you see the things that you invoke besides Allah? Can they, if Allah Wills some penalty for me, remove God's penalty? Or if God Wills some grace for me, can they keep back God's Grace?" Say, "Sufficient is Allah for me!"

Qur'an 20100504
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
8. When some trouble touches man, he cries unto his Lord, turning to God in repentance. But when God bestows a favor as from Godself, does he forget what he cried and prayed for before, and he sets up rivals unto Allah, thus misleading others from God's path.

9. Is one who worships devoutly during the hours of the night, prostrating himself or standing, who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places his hope in the mercy of his Lord?
