Qur'an 20120326

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

59. Say: "Praise be to Allah, and Peace on God's servants whom God has chosen. Who's better? Allah or the false gods they associate?"

60. Or, who has created the heavens and the earth, and who sends you down rain from the sky? Yes, with it We cause to grow well-planted orchards full of beauty and delight. It is not in your power to cause the growth of the trees in them. God besides Allah? No, they are a people who swerve from justice.

61. Or, who has made the earth firm to live in, made rivers in its midst, set thereon mountains immovable, and made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing water? God besides Allah? No, most of them know not.

62. Or, who listens to the distressed when it calls on God, who relieves its suffering, and makes you inheritors of the earth? God besides Allah? Little it is that you heed!

63. Or, who guides you through the depths of darkness on land and sea, and who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before God's mercy? God besides Allah? High is Allah above what they associate with God!

64. Or, who originates Creation, then repeats it, and who gives you sustenance from heaven and earth? God besides Allah? Say, "Bring forth your argument, if you are telling the truth!"

65. Say, "None in the heavens or on earth, except Allah, knows what is hidden. Nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up."

66. Still less can their knowledge comprehend the Hereafter. No, they are in doubt and uncertainty thereat. No, they are blind thereunto!

67. The unbelievers say, "What! When we become dust, we and our fathers, shall we really be raised?"

68. "It is true we were promised this, we and our fathers before. These are nothing but tales of the ancients."

69. Say, "Go you through the earth, and see what has been the end of those guilty."

70. But grieve not over them, nor distress yourself because of their plots.

71. They also say, "When is this promise, if you are truthful?"

72. Say, "It may be that some of the events which you wish to hasten may be in your pursuit!"

73. But verily your Lord is full of grace to humans, yet most of them are ungrateful.

Praise be to Allah, and Peace on God's servants whom God has chosen. Who's better? Allah or the false gods they associate?

Bring forth your argument, if you are telling the truth!

None in the heavens or on earth, except Allah, knows what is hidden. Nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up.

Go you through the earth, and see what has been the end of those guilty.

It may be that some of the events which you wish to hasten may be in your pursuit!
