13:1
Alif.Lam.Mim.Ra. Those are the signs of the Book, and that which is sent down to you from your Lord is the truth; but most of mankind do not believe.
13:2
God is the one who raised up the heavens without columns that you see; then He made for the throne, and subjected the sun and the moon; each one runs on to a named term; He governs the affair, He details the signs; perhaps you will be sure of the meeting with your Lord.
13:3
And He is the one who stretched out the earth and placed in it firm mountains and rivers, and of all the fruits He made in it pairs. He covers the night with the day; - indeed, in that surely are signs for people who think.
13:4
And in the earth are neighbouring tracts, and gardens of grapes and corn and palms growing together and not growing together; they are watered with one water, and We make some of them excel over some in the fruit; indeed, in that surely are signs for a people who are intelligent.
13:5
And if you wonder, then wondrous is their speech: 'When we are dust, shall we surely be in a new creation?' Those are the ones who disbelieve in their Lord, and those, on their necks are the fetters, and those are the fellows of the fire; they shall dwell in it forever.
13:6
And they ask you to hasten on the evil before the good; and verily examples have passed away before them. And indeed, your Lord is possessor of forgiveness unto men, for their wrongdoing; and indeed, your Lord is surely severe in punishment.
13:7
And those who disbelieve say, 'Why has a sign not been sent down upon him from his Lord?' You are only a warner, and for every people a guide.
13:8
God knows what each female bears, and what the wombs fall short of and that which it adds; and everything with Him is in measure.
13:9
Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Great, the Exalted.
13:10
Alike among you is he who conceals the speech and he who proclaims it, he who hides by night and he who goes freely by day.
13:11
For him are successive angels before him and behind him, who guard him at the command of God; indeed God does not change what a people have until they change what is in themselves. And when God wishes evil for a people, then there is no averting it, nor have they a protector besides Him.
13:12
He is the one who shows you the lightning, a fear and hope; and He brings up the heavy cloud.
13:13
And the thunder glorifies with His praise, and the angels for fear of Him. And He sends the thunderbolts and strikes with it whom He wills; and they dispute about God, and He is strong in might.
13:14
To Him is the call of truth, and those they call upon besides Him do not respond to them with a thing, except as one who stretches out his hand to the water to reach his mouth, but it will not reach it. And the call of the disbelievers is only in error.
13:15
And to God prostrates whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and their shadows in the mornings (After sunrise to mid-morning) and the evenings (Mid-afternoon to sunset).
13:16
Say, 'Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?' Say, 'God;' Say, 'Have you then taken besides Him patrons who cannot control profit or harm for themselves?' Say, 'Is the blind and the seeing equal? Or Is the darkness and the light equal? Or have they ascribed to God associates who can create as He creates, so that the creation seem alike to them?' Say, 'God is the creator of everything, and He is the One, the Subduer.'
13:17
He sends down from the sky water, and the valleys flow according to their measure, and the torrent carries a floating scum: and from what they heat in the fire, seeking ornaments or utensils, comes a scum like it; - thus God strikes the truth and the falsehood; - then as for the scum it is thrown off, and as for what profits mankind it stays in the earth. Thus God strikes out the similitudes.
13:18
For those who respond to their Lord is good; but those who do not respond to Him, if they had all that is in the earth and the like of it with it, surely they would give it for a ransom; those shall have an evil reckoning, and their habitation is Hell,- and evil is the bed.
13:19
Then is He who knows that what has been sent down to you from your Lord is the truth like one who is blind? Only possessors of understanding remember.
13:20
Those who fulfil God's covenant and do not break the compact,
13:21
And those who join what God has commanded to be joined, and fear their Lord and dread the evil reckoning;
13:22
And those who are patient, seeking their Lord's face, and are steadfast in the prayer, and spend of what We have provided them secretly and openly, and ward off evil with good, those for them is the consequence of the abode.
13:23
Gardens of Eden, they shall enter them and whoever was righteous among their fathers, and their spouses and their offspring; and the angels shall enter unto them from every gate.
13:24
'Peace be on you, because you were patient; and excellent is the consequence of the abode.'
13:25
And those who break God's covenant after contracting it, and cut what God has commanded to be joined, and do evil in the earth, those, for them is the curse, and for them is an evil home.
13:26
God extends and straitens provision for whom He wills; and they rejoice in the worldly life, and the worldly life is nothing in the hereafter, except a provision.
13:27
Those who disbelieve say, 'Unless a sign is sent down upon Him from his Lord.' Say, 'Indeed, God leads whom He wills astray, and guides to Himself whoever repents.'
13:28
Those who believe and whose hearts are at rest by the remembrance of God, - Lo, by the remembrance of God are the hearts at rest.
13:29
Those who believed and did good works, goodness for them and an excellent place of return.
13:30
Thus We have sent you to a nation before which nations have passed away, to recite to them that which We have inspired you with; and they disbelieve in the Merciful. Say, 'He is my Lord; there is no god but He; on Him I rely, and unto Him is my repentance.'
13:31
And though that was a Quran by which the mountains passed away, or by which the earth were cut up, or by which the dead were made to speak - . Nay, God's is the command altogether. Then do not those who believe know that if God wills surely He would have guided mankind altogether? And a sudden calamity shall not cease to overtake those who disbelieve for what they have done, or to alight close by their dwellings until God's promise comes; indeed, God will not fail in the promise.
13:32
And certainly messengers were mocked before you, but I granted respite to those who disbelieved then I seized them and how was My punishment?
13:33
Is then He who stands over every soul for what it has earned - ? And they ascribe partners to God. Say, 'Name them; or will you inform Him of what He does not know in the earth? Or of the apparent of the words?' Nay, their plot is beautified to those who disbelieve, and they are hindered from the way; and whomever God leads astray, then for him there is no guide.
13:34
For them is punishment in the worldly life; and surely the punishment of the hereafter is more severe, and they have no defender from God.
13:35
The similitude of the Garden which those who fear God are promised, beneath it rivers flow, its fruit is enduring, and its shade. That is the consequence of those who fear; and the consequence of the disbelievers is the fire.
13:36
And those to whom We gave the Book rejoice in that which We have sent down to you; but of the confederates are those who deny a part of it. Say, 'I am only commanded to serve God and not to associate partners with Him; to Him I call and to Him is my return.'
13:37
And thus We have sent it down, an Arabic judgment, and if you should follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you would not have against God any patron or defender.
13:38
And surely, certainly We sent messengers before you, and We made for them wives and offspring; And it was not for a messenger to come with a sign except with God's permission; for every period there is a book.
13:39
God blots out, and He confirms what He wills; and with Him is the mother of the Book.
13:40
And whether We show you a part of what We threaten them with, or We cause you to die, so only upon you is the communication, and upon Us is the reckoning.
13:41
Do they not see that We come to the land reducing it from its borders? God judges, there is none to reverse His judgment, and He is swift in the reckoning.
13:42
And certainly those who were before them plotted; but God's is the plotting altogether. He knows what every soul earns; and the disbelievers shall know whose is the consequence of the abode.
13:43
And those who disbelieve say, 'You are not a messenger.' Say, 'God sufficed for a witness between me and you; and whoever has knowledge of the Book.'
