    Translation

    It is Allah who erected the heavens without pillars that you [can] see; then He established Himself above the Throne and made subject the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term.

    Translation

    And if you are astonished, [O Muhammad] - then astonishing is their saying, "When we are dust, will we indeed be [brought] into a new creation?"

And the supplication of the disbelievers is not but in error [i.e. futility].

    Say, "Who is Lord of the heavens and earth?" Say, "Allah." Say, "Have you then taken besides Him allies not possessing [even] for themselves any benefit or any harm?"

    He sends down from the sky, rain, and valleys flow according to their capacity, and the torrent carries a rising foam. And from that [ore] which they heat in the fire, desiring adornments and utensils, is a foam like it. Thus Allah presents [the example of] truth and falsehood. As for the foam, it vanishes, [being] cast off; but as for that which benefits the people, it remains on the earth. Thus does Allah present examples.

    Translation

    For those who have responded to their Lord is the best [reward], but those who did not respond to Him - if they had all that is in the earth entirely and the like of it with it, they would [attempt to] ransom themselves thereby. Those will have the worst account, and their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the resting place.

    Allatheena āmanoo waʿamiloo alṣṣāliḥāti ṭoobā lahum waḥusnu maābin

    Those who have believed and done righteous deeds - a good state is theirs and a good return.

  30. Ar-Ra'd 13:30

    كَذٰلِكَ اَرْسَلْنَاكَ فٖٓي اُمَّةٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهَٓا اُمَمٌ لِتَتْلُوَ۬ا عَلَيْهِمُ الَّـذٖٓي اَوْحَيْنَٓا اِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ بِالرَّحْمٰنِؕ قُلْ هُوَ رَبّٖي لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَاِلَيْهِ مَتَابِ

    Translation

    Thus have We sent you to a community before which [other] communities have passed on so you might recite to them that which We revealed to you, while they disbelieve in the Most Merciful. Say, "He is my Lord; there is no deity except Him. Upon Him I rely, and to Him is my return."

  31. Ar-Ra'd 13:31

    وَلَوْ اَنَّ قُرْاٰناً سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ اَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ الْاَرْضُ اَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ الْمَوْتٰىؕ بَلْ لِلّٰهِ الْاَمْرُ جَمٖيعاًؕ اَفَلَمْ يَايْـَٔسِ الَّذٖينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اَنْ لَوْ يَشَٓاءُ اللّٰهُ لَهَدَى النَّاسَ جَمٖيعاًؕ وَلَا يَزَالُ الَّذٖينَ كَفَرُوا تُصٖيبُهُمْ بِمَا صَنَعُوا قَارِعَةٌ اَوْ تَحُلُّ قَرٖيباً مِنْ دَارِهِمْ حَتّٰى يَأْتِيَ وَعْدُ اللّٰهِؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُخْلِفُ الْمٖيعَادَࣖ

    Translation

    And if there was any qur'an by which the mountains would be removed or the earth would be broken apart or the dead would be made to speak, [it would be this Qur'an], but to Allah belongs the affair entirely. Then have those who believed not accepted that had Allah willed, He would have guided the people, all of them? And those who disbelieve do not cease to be struck, for what they have done, by calamity - or it will descend near their home - until there comes the promise of Allah. Indeed, Allah does not fail in [His] promise.

  32. Ar-Ra'd 13:32

    وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فَاَمْلَيْتُ لِلَّذٖينَ كَفَرُوا ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُهُمْࣞ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ

    Transliteration

    Walaqadi istuhzia birusulin min qablika faamlaytu lillatheena kafaroo thumma akhathtuhum fakayfa kāna ʿiqābi

    Translation

    And already were [other] messengers ridiculed before you, and I extended the time of those who disbelieved; then I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.

  33. Ar-Ra'd 13:33

    اَفَمَنْ هُوَ قَٓائِمٌ عَلٰى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْۚ وَجَعَلُوا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَٓاءَؕ قُلْ سَمُّوهُمْؕ اَمْ تُنَبِّؤُ۫نَهُ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فِي الْاَرْضِ اَمْ بِظَاهِرٍ مِنَ الْقَوْلِؕ بَلْ زُيِّنَ لِلَّذٖينَ كَفَرُوا مَكْرُهُمْ وَصُدُّوا عَنِ السَّبٖيلِؕ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍ

    Translation

    Then is He who is a maintainer of every soul, [knowing] what it has earned, [like any other]? But to Allah they have attributed partners. Say, "Name them. Or do you inform Him of that which He knows not upon the earth or of what is apparent of speech?" Rather, their [own] plan has been made attractive to those who disbelieve, and they have been averted from the way. And whomever Allah leaves astray - there will be for him no guide.

  34. Ar-Ra'd 13:34

    لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَشَقُّۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَاقٍ

    Transliteration

    Lahum ʿathābun fee alḥayāti alddunyā walaʿathābu alākhirati ashaqqu wamā lahum mina Allāhi min wāqin

    Translation

    For them will be punishment in the life of [this] world, and the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe. And they will not have from Allah any protector.

  35. Ar-Ra'd 13:35

    مَثَلُ الْجَنَّةِ الَّتٖي وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُونَؕ تَجْرٖي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُؕ اُكُلُهَا دَٓائِمٌ وَظِلُّهَاؕ تِلْكَ عُقْبَى الَّذٖينَ اتَّقَوْاࣗ وَعُقْبَى الْكَافِرٖينَ النَّارُ

    Translation

    The example of Paradise, which the righteous have been promised, is [that] beneath it rivers flow. Its fruit is lasting, and its shade. That is the consequence for the righteous, and the consequence for the disbelievers is the Fire.

  36. Ar-Ra'd 13:36

    وَالَّذٖينَ اٰتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَفْرَحُونَ بِمَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ وَمِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ مَنْ يُنْكِرُ بَعْضَهُؕ قُلْ اِنَّـمَٓا اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَلَٓا اُشْرِكَ بِهٖؕ اِلَيْهِ اَدْعُوا وَاِلَيْهِ مَاٰبِ

    Translation

    And [the believers among] those to whom We have given the [previous] Scripture rejoice at what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], but among the [opposing] factions are those who deny part of it. Say, "I have only been commanded to worship Allah and not associate [anything] with Him. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return."

  37. Ar-Ra'd 13:37

    وَكَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنَاهُ حُكْماً عَرَبِياًّؕ وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ اَهْوَٓاءَهُمْ بَعْدَ مَا جَٓاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِۙ مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا وَاقٍࣖ

    Translation

    And We have already sent messengers before you and assigned to them wives and descendants. And it was not for a messenger to come with a sign except by permission of Allah. For every term is a decree.
