Yea, with it We cause to grow well-planted orchards full > of beauty of delight: it is not in your power to cause the growth of the > trees in them. (Can there be another) god besides Allah. Nay, they are a > people who swerve from justice.

> > 62. Or, Who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him, and Who > relieves its suffering, and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth?
> (Can there be another) god besides Allah. Little it is that ye 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 His Mercy? (Can > there be another) god besides Allah.- High is Allah above what they > associate with Him!
> > 64. Or, Who originates creation, then repeats it, and who gives you > sustenance from heaven and earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah.

> > 73. But verily thy Lord is full of grace to mankind: Yet most of them are > ungrateful.
> > 74. And verily thy Lord knoweth all that their hearts do hide. As well as > all that they reveal.

> in a clear record.

> > 77. And it certainly is a Guide and a Mercy to those who believe.
> > 78. Verily thy Lord will decide between them by His Decree: and He is > Exalted in Might, All-Knowing.

> "Did ye reject My Signs, though ye comprehended them not in knowledge, or > what was it ye did?"
> > 85. And the Word will be fulfilled against them, because of their > wrong-doing, and they will be unable to speak (in plea).

> > 88. Thou seest the mountains and thinkest them firmly fixed: but they shall > pass away as the clouds pass away: (such is) the artistry of Allah, who > disposes of all things in perfect order: for he is well acquainted with all > that ye do.

> > 90. And if any do evil, their faces will be thrown headlong into the Fire:
> "Do ye receive a reward other than that which ye have earned by your deeds?"
> > 91. For me, I have been commanded to serve the Lord of this city, Him Who > has sanctified it and to Whom (belong) all things: and I am commanded to be > of those who bow in Islam to Allah.s Will,-
> > 92. And to rehearse the Qur'an: and if any accept guidance, they do it for > the good of their own souls, and if any stray, say: "I am only a Warner".
> > 93. And say: "Praise be to Allah, Who will soon show you His Signs, so that > ye shall know them"; and thy Lord is not unmindful of all that ye do.
