To Him

(is) supplication

(of) the truth

And those whom

they invoke

besides Him

besides Him

not

they respond

to them

with a thing

except

like one who stretches

his hands

towards

water

to reach

his mouth

but not

it

reaches it

And not

(is) the supplication

(of) the disbelievers

but

in

error

And to Allah

prostrates

whoever

(is) in

the heavens

and the earth

willingly

or unwillingly

and (so do) their shadows

in the mornings

and in the afternoons

Say

Who

(is) the Lord

(of) the heavens

and the earth

Say

Allah

Say

Have you then taken

from

besides Him

protectors

not

they have power

for themselves

(to) benefit

and not

(to) harm

Say

Is

equal

the blind

and the seeing

Or

is

equal

the darkness[es]

and the light

Or

they attribute

to Allah

partners

who created

like His creation

so that seemed alike

the creation

to them

Say

Allah

(is) the Creator

of all

things

and He

(is) the One

the Irresistible

He sends down

from

the sky

water

and flows

the valleys

according to their measure

and carries

the torrent

a foam

rising

And from what

they heat

[on] it

in

the fire

in order to make

ornaments

or

utensils

a foam

like it

Thus

sets forth

Allah

the truth

and the falsehood

Then as for

the foam

it passes away

(as) scum

and as for

what

benefits

the mankind

remains

in

the earth

Thus

Allah sets forth

Allah sets forth

the examples

For those who

responded

to their Lord

(is) the bliss

And for those who

(did) not

respond

to Him

if

that

they had

whatever

(is) in

the earth

all

and like of it

with it

surely they would offer ransom

with it

Those

for them

(is) a terrible

reckoning

and their abode

(is) Hell

and wretched

(is) the resting place
