Quli alhamdu lillahi wasalamun AAala AAibadihi allatheena istafa allahu khayrun amma yushrikoona\n59. Say: Praise be to God,\n And Peace on His servants\n Whom He has chosen\n (For His Message). (Who)\n Is better?\u2014God or\n The false gods they associate\n (With Him)?\n60. Amman khalaqa alssamawati waal-arda waanzala lakum mina alssama-i maan faanbatna bihi hada-iqa thata bahjatin ma kana lakum an tunbitoo shajaraha a-ilahun maAAa Allahi bal hum qawmun yaAAdiloona\n60. Or, who has created\n The heavens and the earth,\n And who sends you down\n Rain from the sky?\n Yea, with it We cause\n To grow well-planted orchards\n Full of beauty and delight:\n It is not in your power\n To cause the growth\n Of the trees in them. (Can there be\n Another) god besides God?\n Nay, they are a people\n Who swerve from justice.\n61. Amman jaAAala al-arda qararan wajaAAala khilalaha anharan wajaAAala laha rawasiya wajaAAala bayna albahrayni hajizan a-ilahun maAAa Allahi bal aktharuhum la yaAAlamoona\n61. Or, who has made the earth\n Firm to live in; made\n Rivers in its midst; set\n Thereon mountains immovable;\n And made a separating bar\n Between the two bodies\n Of flowing water?\n (Can there be another) god\n Besides God? Nay, most\n Of them know not.\n62. Amman yujeebu almudtarra itha daAAahu wayakshifu alssoo-a wayajAAalukum khulafaa al-ardi a-ilahun maAAa Allahi qaleelan ma tathakkaroona\n62. Or, who listens to the (soul)\n Distressed when it calls\n On Him, and who relieves\n Its suffering, and makes you\n(Mankind) inheritors of the earth?'\n (Can there be another) god\n Besides God? Little it is\n That ye heed!\n63. Amman yahdeekum fee thulumati albarri waalbahri waman yursilu alrriyaha bushran bayna yaday rahmatihi a-ilahun maAAa Allahi taAAala Allahu AAamma yushrikoona\n63. Or, who guides you\n Through the depths of darkness\n On land and sea, and who\n Sends the winds as heralds\n Of glad tidings, going before\n His Mercy? (Can there be\n Another) god besides God?\u2014\n High is God above what\n They associate with Him!\n64. Amman yabdao alkhalqa thumma yuAAeeduhu waman yarzuqukum mina alssama-i waal-ardi a-ilahun maAAa Allahi qul hatoo burhanakum in kuntum sadiqeena\n64. Or, who originates Creation,\n Then repeats it,\n And who gives you sustenance\n From heaven and earth?\n (Can there be another) god\n Besides God? Say, \"Bring forth\n Your argument, if ye\n Are telling the truth!\"\n65. Qul la yaAAlamu man fee alssamawati waal-ardi alghayba illa Allahu wama yashAAuroona ayyana yubAAathoona\n65. Say: None in the heavens\n Or on earth, except God,\n Knows what is hidden:\n Nor can they perceive\n When they shall be raised\n Up (for Judgment).\n66. Bali iddaraka AAilmuhum fee al-akhirati bal hum fee shakkin minha bal hum minha AAamoona\n66. Still less can their knowledge\n Comprehend the Hereafter: nay,\nThey are in doubt and uncertainty\n Thereanent; nay, they are blind\n Thereunto!","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXVII.: Naml, or the Ants.: Section 5 (59-66)","type":"page"}
