Awa lam yara allatheena kafaroo anna alssamawati waal-arda kanata ratqan fafataqnahuma wajaAAalna mina alma-i kulla shay-in hayyin afala yu/minoona\n30. Do not the Unbelievers see\n That the heavens and the earth\n Were joined together (as one\n Unit of Creation), before\n We clove them asunder?\n We made from water\n Every living thing. Will they\n Not then believe?\n31. WajaAAalna fee al-ardi rawasiya an tameeda bihim wajaAAalna feeha fijajan subulan laAAallahum yahtadoona\n31. And We have set on the earth\n Mountains standing firm,\nLest it should shake with them,\n And We have made therein\n Broad highways\n (between mountains)\n For them to pass through:\n That they may receive guidance.\n32. WajaAAalna alssamaa saqfan mahfoothan wahum AAan ayatiha muAAridoona\n32. And We have made\n The heavens as a canopy\n Well guarded: yet do they\n Turn away from the Signs\n Which these things (point to)!\n33. Wahuwa allathee khalaqa allayla waalnnahara waalshshamsa waalqamara kullun fee falakin yasbahoona\n33. It is He Who created\n The Night and the Day,\n And the sun and the moon:\n All (the celestial bodies)\n Swim along, each in its\n Rounded course.\n34. Wama jaAAalna libasharin min qablika alkhulda afa-in mitta fahumu alkhalidoona\n34. We granted not to any man\n Before thee permanent life\n (Here): If then thou shouldst die,\n Would they live permanently?\n35. Kullu nafsin tha-iqatu almawti wanablookum bialshsharri waalkhayri fitnatan wa-ilayna turjaAAoona\n35. Every soul shall have\n A taste of death:\n And We test you\n By evil and by good\nBy way of trial.\n To Us must ye return.\n36. Wa-itha raaka allatheena kafaroo in yattakhithoonaka illa huzuwan ahatha allathee yathkuru alihatakum wahum bithikri alrrahmani hum kafiroona\n36. When the Unbelievers see thee,\n They treat thee not except\n With ridicule. \"Is this,\"\n (They say), \"the one who talks\n Of your gods?\" And they\n Blaspheme at the mention\n Of (God) Most Gracious!\n37. Khuliqa al-insanu min AAajalin saoreekum ayatee fala tastaAAjiloona\n37. Man is a creature of haste:\n Soon (enough) will I show\n You My Signs; then\n Ye will not ask Me\n To hasten them!\n38. Wayaqooloona mata hatha alwaAAdu in kuntum sadiqeena\n38. They say: \"When will this\n Promise come to pass,\n If ye are telling the truth?\"\n39. Law yaAAlamu allatheena kafaroo heena la yakuffoona AAan wujoohihimu alnnara wala AAan thuhoorihim wala hum yunsaroona\n39. If only the Unbelievers\n Knew (the time) when they\n Will not be able\n To ward off the Fire\n From their faces, nor yet\n From their backs, and (when)\n No help can reach them!\n40. Bal ta/teehim baghtatan fatabhatuhum fala yastateeAAoona raddaha wala hum yuntharoona\n40. Nay, it may come to them\n All of a sudden and confound\n Them: no power will they\n Have then to avert it,\n Nor will they (then)\n Get respite.\n41. Walaqadi istuhzi-a birusulin min qablika fahaqa biallatheena sakhiroo minhum ma kanoo bihi yastahzi-oona\n41. Mocked were (many)\n Apostles before thee;\n But their scoffers\n Were hemmed in\n By the thing that they mocked.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXI.: Anbiy\u0101a, or The Prophets: Section 3 (30-41)","type":"page"}
