16:10-17
**He it is that sends down from the sky water for you; from it is drink; and from it are plants in which you put out to pasture;**
He causes to grow for you thereby the crops, and the olives, and the date-palms, and the grapevines, and every fruit. In that is a proof for people who reflect.
And He made subject for you the night, and the day, and the sun, and the moon; and the stars are made subject by His command — in that are proofs for people who reason —
As is what He created for you in the earth of different hues; in that is a proof for people who take heed.
And He it is that made subject the sea, that you might eat therefrom fresh flesh, and bring forth therefrom ornaments which you wear — and thou seest the ships ploughing therein — and that you might seek of His bounty, and that you might be grateful.
And He cast into the earth firm mountains lest it sway with you; and rivers and ways, that you might be guided;
And landmarks; and by the star are they guided.
Is then He who creates like one who creates not? Will you then not take heed!
13:16-29
Say thou: “Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?” Say thou: “God.” Say thou: “Have you then taken, besides Him, allies which have not power to do themselves benefit or harm?” Say thou: “Is the blind equal to the seeing? Or is darkness equal to the light?” If they have ascribed to God partners that created the like of His creation, then the creation appears the same to them. Say thou: “God is creator of all things, and He is the One, the Vanquishing.”
He sends down from the sky water, and the valleys flow according to their measure, then the flood carries a swelling froth; and from what they burn in the fire seeking ornaments or tools there is a froth like it. Thus does God present truth and vanity: as for the froth, it departs as dross; and as for what is of benefit to men, it remains in the earth. Thus does God strike similitudes.
For those who respond to their Lord is the best; and those who respond not to Him: had they all that is in the earth altogether, and the like thereof with it, they would seek to ransom themselves thereby. Those have an evil reckoning, and their shelter is Gehenna; and evil is the resting-place.
Is then he who knows that what is sent down to thee from thy Lord is the truth like him who is blind? There take heed but those of insight:
Those who fulfil the covenant of God, and break not the agreement,
And who join what God commanded to be joined, and fear their Lord, and dread the evil of the reckoning,
And who are patient seeking the face of their Lord, and uphold the duty, and spend of what We have provided them, secretly and openly, and they avert evil with good: those have the good final abode:
Gardens of perpetual abode which they enter, and whoso was righteous among their fathers, and their wives, and their progeny. And the angels will enter upon them from every gate:
“Peace be upon you, because you were patient!” And excellent is the final abode.
But those who break the covenant of God after its agreement, and sever what God has commanded to be joined, and work corruption in the land: those have the curse, and they have the evil abode.
God expands provision for whom He wills, and He straitens. And they exult at the life of this world; but the life of this world compared with the Hereafter is only a passing pleasure.
And those who ignore warning say: “Oh, that a proof were but sent down upon him from his Lord!” Say thou: “God leads astray whom He wills, and guides to Him such as turn back:
“Those who heed warning and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of God.” In truth, in the remembrance of God do hearts find rest.
Those who heed warning and do righteous deeds: they have blessedness, and a good journey’s end.
