Inna fee khalqi alssamawati waal-ardi waikhtilafi allayli waalnnahari waalfulki allatee tajree fee albahri bima yanfaAAu alnnasa wama anzala Allahu mina alssama-i min ma-in faahya bihi al-arda baAAda mawtiha wabaththa feeha min kulli dabbatin watasreefi alrriyahi waalssahabi almusakhkhari bayna alssama-i waal-ardi laayatin liqawmin yaAAqiloona\n164. Behold! In the creation\n Of the heavens and the earth;\n In the alternation\n Of the Night and the Day;\n In the sailing of the ships\n Through the Ocean\n For the profit of mankind;\n In the rain which God\n Sends down from the skies,\n And the life which He gives therewith\n To an earth that is dead;\n In the beasts of all kinds\n That He scatters\n Through the earth;\n In the change of the winds,\n And the clouds which they\n Trail like their slaves\n Between the sky and the earth;\u2014\n (Here) indeed are Signs\n For a people that are wise.\n165. Wamina alnnasi man yattakhithu min dooni Allahi andadan yuhibboonahum kahubbi Allahi waallatheena amanoo ashaddu hubban lillahi walaw yara allatheena thalamoo ith yarawna alAAathaba anna alquwwata lillahi jameeAAan waanna Allaha shadeedu alAAathabi\n165. Yet there are men\n Who take (for worship)\n Others besides God,\n As equal (with God):\nThey love them\n As they should love God.\n But those of Faith are\n Overflowing in their love\n For God. If only\n The unrighteous could see,\n Behold, they would see\n The Penalty: that to God\n Belongs all power, and God\n Will strongly enforce\n The Penalty.\n166. Ith tabarraa allatheena ittubiAAoo mina allatheena ittabaAAoo waraawoo alAAathaba wataqattaAAat bihimu al-asbabu\n166.\n167. Waqala allatheena ittabaAAoo law anna lana karratan fanatabarraa minhum kama tabarraoo minna kathalika yureehimu Allahu aAAmalahum hasaratin AAalayhim wama hum bikharijeena mina alnnari\n167. And those who followed\n Would say: \"If only\n We had one more chance,\n We would clear ourselves\n Of them, as they have\n Cleared themselves of us.\"\n Thus will God show them\n (The fruits of) their deeds\n As (nothing but) regrets.\n Nor will there be a way\n For them out of the Fire.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra II.: Baqara, or the Heifer.: Section 20 (164-167)","type":"page"}
