13:16



13:15-18
And to God submits whoso is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, as do their shadows in the mornings and the evenings.

**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.

16:10-16
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.
