Alam tara anna Allaha yusabbihu lahu man fee alssamawati waal-ardi waalttayru saffatin kullun qad AAalima salatahu watasbeehahu waAllahu AAaleemun bima yafAAaloona\n41. Seest thou not that it is\n God Whose praises all beings\n In the heavens and on earth\n Do celebrate, and the birds\n(Of the air) with wings\n Outspread? Each one knows\n Its own (mode of) prayer\n And praise. And God\n Knows well all that they do.\n42. Walillahi mulku alssamawati waal-ardi wa-ila Allahi almaseeru\n42. Yea, to God belongs\n The dominion of the heavens\n And the earth; and to God\n Is the final goal (of all).\n43. Alam tara anna Allaha yuzjee sahaban thumma yu-allifu baynahu thumma yajAAaluhu rukaman fatara alwadqa yakhruju min khilalihi wayunazzilu mina alssama-i min jibalin feeha min baradin fayuseebu bihi man yashao wayasrifuhu AAan man yashao yakadu sana barqihi yathhabu bial-absari\n43. Seest thou not that God\n Makes the clouds move\n Gently, then joins them\n Together, then makes them\n Into a heap?\u2014then wilt thou\n See rain issue forth\n From their midst. And He\n Sends down from the sky\n Mountain masses (of clouds)\n Wherein is hail: He strikes\n Therewith whom He pleases\n And He turns it away\n From whom He pleases.\n The vivid flash of His lightning\n Well-nigh blinds the sight.\n44. Yuqallibu Allahu allayla waalnnahara inna fee thalika laAAibratan li-olee al-absari\n44. It is God Who alternates\n The Night and the Day:\nVerily in these things\n Is an instructive example\n For those who have vision!\n45. WaAllahu khalaqa kulla dabbatin min ma-in faminhum man yamshee AAala batnihi waminhum man yamshee AAala rijlayni waminhum man yamshee AAala arbaAAin yakhluqu Allahu ma yashao inna Allaha AAala kulli shay-in qadeerun\n45. And God has created\n Every animal from water: sort\n Of them there are some\n That creep on their bellies;\n Some that walk on two legs;\n And some that walk on four.\n God creates what He wills;\n For verily God has power\n Over all things.\n46. Laqad anzalna ayatin mubayyinatin waAllahu yahdee man yashao ila siratin mustaqeemin\n46. We have indeed sent down\n Signs that make things manifest:\n And God guides whom He wills\n To a Way that is straight.\n47. Wayaqooloona amanna biAllahi wabialrrasooli waataAAna thumma yatawalla fareequn minhum min baAAdi thalika wama ola-ika bialmu/mineena\n47. They say, \"We believe\n In God and in the Apostle,\n And we obey\": but\n Even after that, some of them\n Turn away: they are not\n (Really) Believers.\n48. Wa-itha duAAoo ila Allahi warasoolihi liyahkuma baynahum itha fareequn minhum muAAridoona\n48. When they are summoned\n To God and His Apostle,\n In order that he may judge\n Between them, behold, some\n Of them decline (to come).\n49. Wa-in yakun lahumu alhaqqu ya/too ilayhi muthAAineena\n49. But if the right is\n On their side, they come\n To him with all submission\n50. Afee quloobihim maradun ami irtaboo am yakhafoona an yaheefa Allahu AAalayhim warasooluhu bal ola-ika humu alththalimoona\n50. Is it that there is\n A disease in their hearts\n Or do they doubt,\n Or are they in fear,\n That God and His Apostle\n Will deal unjustly with them?\n Nay, it is they themselves\n Who do wrong.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXIV.: N\u016br, or Light.: Section 6 (41-50)","type":"page"}
