Holy Quran » AN NAML : 61 - 80

Is He [not best] who made the earth a stable ground and placed within it rivers and made for it firmly set mountains and placed between the two seas a barrier? Is there a deity with Allah ? [No], but most of them do not know.

Is He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evil and makes you inheritors of the earth? Is there a deity with Allah ? Little do you remember.

Is He [not best] who guides you through the darknesses of the land and sea and who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy? Is there a deity with Allah ? High is Allah above whatever they associate with Him.

Is He [not best] who begins creation and then repeats it and who provides for you from the heaven and earth? Is there a deity with Allah ? Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."

Say, "None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allah , and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected."

Rather, their knowledge is arrested concerning the Hereafter. Rather, they are in doubt about it. Rather, they are, concerning it, blind.

And those who disbelieve say, "When we have become dust as well as our forefathers, will we indeed be brought out [of the graves]?

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before. This is not but legends of the former peoples."

Say, [O Muhammad], "Travel through the land and observe how was the end of the criminals."

And grieve not over them or be in distress from what they conspire.

And they say, "When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?"

Say, "Perhaps it is close behind you - some of that for which you are impatient.

And indeed, your Lord is full of bounty for the people, but most of them do not show gratitude."

And indeed, your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they declare.

And there is nothing concealed within the heaven and the earth except that it is in a clear Register.

Indeed, this Qur'an relates to the Children of Israel most of that over which they disagree.

And indeed, it is guidance and mercy for the believers.

Indeed, your Lord will judge between them by His [wise] judgement. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

So rely upon Allah ; indeed, you are upon the clear truth.

Indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they have turned their backs retreating.
