بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

أَتَىٰ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُ ۚ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ (1)

The command of Allah has come, so do not rush it. Glory be to Him, and exalted is He above what they associate (with Him).

يُنَزِّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ بِالرُّوحِ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلَىٰ مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ أَنْ أَنْذِرُوا أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاتَّقُونِ (2)

He sends down the angels with the spirit by His command upon whom He wills of His servants (telling them): Warn that there is no god but Me; so fear Me.
[Al Quran ; 16:2]

خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ ۚ تَعَالَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ (3)

He created the heavens and the earth in truth. Exalted is He above what they associate (with Him).

خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُبِينٌ (4)

He created the human from a drop, then at once he is an obvious contender.
[Al Quran ; 16:4]

وَالْأَنْعَامَ خَلَقَهَا ۗ لَكُمْ فِيهَا دِفْءٌ وَمَنَافِعُ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ (5)

And He created the cattle, for you in them are warmth and benefits; and from them you eat.
[Al Quran ; 16:5]

وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا جَمَالٌ حِينَ تُرِيحُونَ وَحِينَ تَسْرَحُونَ (6)

And for you in them is beauty when you make them to rest and when you make them to work.
[Al Quran ; 16:6]

وَتَحْمِلُ أَثْقَالَكُمْ إِلَىٰ بَلَدٍ لَمْ تَكُونُوا بَالِغِيهِ إِلَّا بِشِقِّ الْأَنْفُسِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ (7)

And they carry your loads to a country you could not have reached except with difficulty to yourselves. Indeed, your Lord is Kind, Merciful.
[Al Quran ; 16:7]

وَالْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةً ۚ وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ (8)

And (He created) the horses and the mules and the donkeys in order that you might ride them and as an adornment. And He creates what you do not know.
[Al Quran ; 16:8]

وَعَلَى اللَّهِ قَصْدُ السَّبِيلِ وَمِنْهَا جَائِرٌ ۚ وَلَوْ شَاءَ لَهَدَاكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ (9)

And upon Allah is the direction of the way, and among these (paths) are deviant (ways). And if He had willed, He would have guided you all.
[Al Quran ; 16:9]

هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً ۖ لَكُمْ مِنْهُ شَرَابٌ وَمِنْهُ شَجَرٌ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ (10)

It is He Who sends down from the sky water, from it is a drink for you, and from it are trees in which you pasture.
[Al Quran ; 16:10]

يُنْبِتُ لَكُمْ بِهِ الزَّرْعَ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالنَّخِيلَ وَالْأَعْنَابَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ (11)

He causes to grow for you thereby plants and olives and palm trees and vines and of all the plants produce. Indeed, in that is a sign for a people who think.

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ ۖ وَالنُّجُومُ مُسَخَّرَاتٌ بِأَمْرِهِ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ (12)

And He has subjected for you the night and the day and the sun and the moon; and the stars are subjected by His command. Indeed, in that are signs for a people who reason.

وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَانُهُ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَذَّكَّرُونَ (13)

And whatever He multiplied for you in the earth of various colours. Indeed, in that is a sign for a people who remember.
[Al Quran ; 16:13]

وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ الْبَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُوا مِنْهُ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ (14)

And it is He Who has subjected the sea that you may eat from it soft meat and that you may extract from it ornaments which you wear. And you see the ships ploughing therein, so that you might seek of His grace and that you may give thanks.

وَأَلْقَىٰ فِي الْأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَنْ تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَأَنْهَارًا وَسُبُلًا لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ (15)

Al-Nahl (The Bees)

Translation

Verses 21-40

أَمْوَاتٌ غَيْرُ أَحْيَاءٍ ۖ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ (21)

They are dead, not alive, and they perceive not when they will be resurrected.
[Al Quran ; 16:21]

إِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۚ فَالَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ مُنْكِرَةٌ وَهُمْ مُسْتَكْبِرُونَ (22)

Your god is one God; and those who do not believe in the hereafter, their hearts are in denial, and they are arrogant.
[Al Quran ; 16:22]

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ (23)

No question that Allah knows what they conceal and what they declare; indeed, He does not like the arrogant.
[Al Quran ; 16:23]

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ مَاذَا أَنْزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ ۙ قَالُوا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ (24)

And when it is said to them: What has your Lord sent down? They say: Legends of the former (people).
[Al Quran ; 16:24]

لِيَحْمِلُوا أَوْزَارَهُمْ كَامِلَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۙ وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ الَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ۗ أَلَا سَاءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ (25)

That they may bear their burdens in full on the day of resurrection and some of the burdens of those whom they misguide without knowledge. Unquestionably, evil is what they bear.
[Al Quran ; 16:25]

قَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَى اللَّهُ بُنْيَانَهُمْ مِنَ الْقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّقْفُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَأَتَاهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ (26)

Already those before them planed; and Allah came to their building at the foundations, so the roof fell upon them from above them; and torture came to them from where they did not perceive.
[Al Quran ; 16:26]

ثُمَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُخْزِيهِمْ وَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ كُنْتُمْ تُشَاقُّونَ فِيهِمْ ۚ قَالَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ إِنَّ الْخِزْيَ الْيَوْمَ وَالسُّوءَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ (27)

Moreover, on the day of resurrection He will disgrace them and say: Where are My associates for whom you used to contend? Those who are given the knowledge will say: Indeed, disgrace, this day, and evil are upon the unbelievers.
[Al Quran ; 16:27]

الَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ظَالِمِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ ۖ فَأَلْقَوُا السَّلَمَ مَا كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ مِنْ سُوءٍ ۚ بَلَىٰ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ (28)

Those whom the angels cause to die while being unjust to themselves and then offer submission (they would say): We were not doing any evil. Yes indeed, Allah knows what you used to do.
[Al Quran ; 16:28]

فَادْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۖ فَلَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ (29)

So enter the gates of hell, abiding therein; and miserable is the residence of the arrogant.
[Al Quran ; 16:29]

وَقِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا مَاذَا أَنْزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ ۚ قَالُوا خَيْرًا ۗ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا فِي هَٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ ۚ وَلَدَارُ الْآخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ ۚ وَلَنِعْمَ دَارُ الْمُتَّقِينَ (30)

And it will be said to those who have feared: What has your Lord sent down? They will say: Good. For those who do good in this world is good. And surely the home of the hereafter is better; and excellent is the home of the pious.
[Al Quran ; 16:30]

جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۖ لَهُمْ فِيهَا مَا يَشَاءُونَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجْزِي اللَّهُ الْمُتَّقِينَ (31)

The gardens of Eden which they will enter, beneath which rivers flow. For them therein will be whatever they desire. Thus does Allah reward the pious.
[Al Quran ; 16:31]

الَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ طَيِّبِينَ ۙ يَقُولُونَ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمُ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ (32)

Those whom the angels cause to die while being good, they (the angels) will say: Peace be upon you, enter the garden for what you used to do.
[Al Quran ; 16:32]

هَلْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَلَٰكِنْ كَانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ (33)

Do they wait except that the angels should come to them or that the command of your Lord should come to pass? Thus did those do before them. And Allah did not do injustice to them, but they were doing to themselves injustice.
[Al Quran ; 16:33]

فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا عَمِلُوا وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ (34)

So they were struck by the evil of what they did, and they were surrounded by that which they used to ridicule.
[Al Quran ; 16:34]

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِنْ دُونِهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ نَحْنُ وَلَا آبَاؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِنْ دُونِهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ فَهَلْ عَلَى الرُّسُلِ إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ (35)

And those who made associates (to Allah) say: If Allah had willed, we would not have worshipped other than Him anything, neither us nor our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything through other than Him. Thus did those do before them. So is there upon the messengers except clear notification?
[Al Quran ; 16:35]

وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَسُولًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ ۖ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الضَّلَالَةُ ۚ فَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ (36)

And We have certainly sent in every nation a messenger (saying): Worship Allah and avoid the devil. So among them were those whom Allah has guided, and among them were others upon whom error was decreed. So walk in the land and see how was the consequence for the deniers.
[Al Quran ; 16:36]

إِنْ تَحْرِصْ عَلَىٰ هُدَاهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي مَنْ يُضِلُّ ۖ وَمَا لَهُمْ مِنْ نَاصِرِينَ (37)

If you strive for their guidance, then indeed, Allah does not guide those who misguide; and for them, there will be no helpers.
[Al Quran ; 16:37]

وَأَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ ۙ لَا يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَمُوتُ ۚ بَلَىٰ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ (38)

And they swear by Allah their strongest oaths that Allah will not resurrect whoever dies. Yes, it is a promise upon Him in truth, but most of the people do not know.
[Al Quran ; 16:38]

لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِي يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَاذِبِينَ (39)

So He will explain to them that wherein they disagree and so those who have disbelieved will know that indeed, they were liars.
[Al Quran ; 16:39]

إِنَّمَا قَوْلُنَا لِشَيْءٍ إِذَا أَرَدْنَاهُ أَنْ نَقُولَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ (40)

Indeed, Our saying to a thing when We want it, it is but We say to it, Be, and it is.
[Al Quran ; 16:40]

وَالَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا فِي اللَّهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً ۖ وَلَأَجْرُ الْآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ (41)

And those who emigrated for Allah after they have been treated unjustly, We will surely give them in this world good; and the reward of the hereafter is greater if only they could know.
[Al Quran ; 16:41]

الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ (42)

Those who are patient, and upon their Lord, they rely.
[Al Quran ; 16:42]

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ (43)

And We did not send before you except men to whom We revealed, so ask the people of the reminder if you do not know.
[Al Quran ; 16:43]

بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالزُّبُرِ ۗ وَأَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ (44)

(We have sent them) with clear proofs and sacred writings; and We have sent down to you the reminder that you may explain to the people what has been sent down to them and that they will give thoughts.
[Al Quran ; 16:44]

أَفَأَمِنَ الَّذِينَ مَكَرُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ أَنْ يَخْسِفَ اللَّهُ بِهِمُ الْأَرْضَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ (45)

Do those who plan evil deeds feel secure that Allah will not cause the earth to collapse with them, or that torture comes to them from where they do not perceive?
[Al Quran ; 16:45]

أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ فِي تَقَلُّبِهِمْ فَمَا هُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ (46)

Or that He would not seize them in their course, and they could not cause failure.
[Al Quran ; 16:46]

أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ عَلَىٰ تَخَوُّفٍ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ (47)

Or that He would not seize them in state of fear. And indeed, your Lord is Kind, Merciful.
[Al Quran ; 16:47]

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَىٰ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَتَفَيَّأُ ظِلَالُهُ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَالشَّمَائِلِ سُجَّدًا لِلَّهِ وَهُمْ دَاخِرُونَ (48)

Do they not see that whatever Allah has created of anything, whose shadows incline to the right and to the left, prostrating to Allah while they are humble?
[Al Quran ; 16:48]

وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ دَابَّةٍ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ (49)

And to Allah prostrates whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth of any walking creature, and the angel while they are not arrogant.

They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded.

وَقَالَ اللَّهُ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا إِلَٰهَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ ۖ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۖ فَإِيَّايَ فَارْهَبُونِ (51)

And Allah has said: Do not take two gods. He is only one God; so of Me you should be afraid.
[Al Quran ; 16:51]

وَلَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَهُ الدِّينُ وَاصِبًا ۚ أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ (52)

And to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth; and to Him belongs the constant religion. Will you then fear other than Allah?
[Al Quran ; 16:52]

وَمَا بِكُمْ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنَ اللَّهِ ۖ ثُمَّ إِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فَإِلَيْهِ تَجْأَرُونَ (53)

And whatever you have of any favour is from Allah; and when adversity touches you, to Him you cry for help.
[Al Quran ; 16:53]

ثُمَّ إِذَا كَشَفَ الضُّرَّ عَنْكُمْ إِذَا فَرِيقٌ مِنْكُمْ بِرَبِّهِمْ يُشْرِكُونَ (54)

And when He removes adversity from you, at once a party of you associate others with their Lord.
[Al Quran ; 16:54]

لِيَكْفُرُوا بِمَا آتَيْنَاهُمْ ۚ فَتَمَتَّعُوا ۖ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ (55)

So that they disbelieve in what We have given them; so enjoy yourselves, and you are going to know.
[Al Quran ; 16:55]

وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ نَصِيبًا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ ۗ تَاللَّهِ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنْتُمْ تَفْتَرُونَ (56)

And they make for what they do not know a portion of what We have provided them. By Allah, you will be questioned about that which you used to forge.
[Al Quran ; 16:56]

وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ الْبَنَاتِ سُبْحَانَهُ ۙ وَلَهُمْ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ (57)

And they make to Allah daughters, glory be to Him, and for them is what they desire.
[Al Quran ; 16:57]

وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُمْ بِالْأُنْثَىٰ ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ (58)

And when one of them is given the news of (the birth of) a female, his face becomes black while he is angry.
[Al Quran ; 16:58]

يَتَوَارَىٰ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ سُوءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِ ۚ أَيُمْسِكُهُ عَلَىٰ هُونٍ أَمْ يَدُسُّهُ فِي التُّرَابِ ۗ أَلَا سَاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ (59)

He hides himself from the people because of the evil of which he has been informed. Should he keep it in disgrace or bury it in the dust? Unquestionably, evil is what they judge.
[Al Quran ; 16:59]

لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ مَثَلُ السَّوْءِ ۖ وَلِلَّهِ الْمَثَلُ الْأَعْلَىٰ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ (60)

For those who do not believe in the hereafter is the evil example; and for Allah is the highest example. And He is the Mighty, the Wise.

وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ بِظُلْمِهِمْ مَا تَرَكَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ وَلَٰكِنْ يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ۖ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ (61)

And if Allah were to blame the people for their injustice, He would not leave on it any walking creature, but He defers them for a specified time; and when their time comes, they will not be deferred an hour, nor will they proceed.
[Al Quran ; 16:61]

وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ وَتَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُهُمُ الْكَذِبَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ الْحُسْنَىٰ ۖ لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ النَّارَ وَأَنَّهُمْ مُفْرَطُونَ (62)

And they make to Allah what they dislike, and their tongues assert the lie that they will have the best. No doubt that for them will be the fire; and indeed, they will be neglected.
[Al Quran ; 16:62]

تَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَىٰ أُمَمٍ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمُ الْيَوْمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ (63)

By Allah, We have certainly sent (messengers) to nations before you, but the devil decorated for them their deeds; and he is their guardian today, and for them is a painful torture.
[Al Quran ; 16:63]

وَمَا أَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ إِلَّا لِتُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِي اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ ۙ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ (64)

And We have not sent down to you the book except that you may explain to them that about which they disagreed and as guidance and mercy for a people who believe.
[Al Quran ; 16:64]

وَاللَّهُ أَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَحْيَا بِهِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ (65)

And Allah has sent down from the sky water and given life thereby to the earth after its death. Indeed, in that is a sign for a people who hear.
[Al Quran ; 16:65]

وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي الْأَنْعَامِ لَعِبْرَةً ۖ نُسْقِيكُمْ مِمَّا فِي بُطُونِهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ فَرْثٍ وَدَمٍ لَبَنًا خَالِصًا سَائِغًا لِلشَّارِبِينَ (66)

And indeed, for you in the cattle is a lesson; We give you, drink from what is in their bellies of excretions and blood, pure milk, palatable to the drinkers.
[Al Quran ; 16:66]

وَمِنْ ثَمَرَاتِ النَّخِيلِ وَالْأَعْنَابِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْهُ سَكَرًا وَرِزْقًا حَسَنًا ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ (67)

And of the produce of palms trees and vines, you take from it intoxication and good provision. Indeed, in that is a sign for a people who reason.
[Al Quran ; 16:67]

وَأَوْحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا وَمِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ (68)

And your Lord inspired to the bee (saying): Take for yourself among the mountains homes, and among the trees, and in that which they build.
[Al Quran ; 16:68]

ثُمَّ كُلِي مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ فَاسْلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًا ۚ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهُ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ لِلنَّاسِ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ (69)

Then eat from all the produce of the plants and follow the ways of your Lord laid down. There emerges from its bellies a drink varying in its colours, in which there is healing for the people. Indeed, in that is a sign for a people who give thoughts.
[Al Quran ; 16:69]

وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ يَتَوَفَّاكُمْ ۚ وَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰ أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْ لَا يَعْلَمَ بَعْدَ عِلْمٍ شَيْئًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ قَدِيرٌ (70)

And Allah created you and causes you to die. And among you is one who is reversed to the oldest age so that he does not know, after (having) knowledge, a thing. Indeed, Allah is Knowing, Capable.
[Al Quran ; 16:70]

وَاللَّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فِي الرِّزْقِ ۚ فَمَا الَّذِينَ فُضِّلُوا بِرَادِّي رِزْقِهِمْ عَلَىٰ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ ۚ أَفَبِنِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ (71)

And Allah has favoured some of you over others in provision. And those who are favoured would not give away their provision to those whom their oaths possess so that they are therein equal. So is it the favour of Allah that they deny?
[Al Quran ; 16:71]

وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةً وَرَزَقَكُمْ مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ ۚ أَفَبِالْبَاطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَتِ اللَّهِ هُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ (72)

And Allah has made for you from yourselves partners and given you from your partners sons and grandchildren and provided you of the good things. So is it in falsehood do they believe and in the favours of Allah they disbelieve?
[Al Quran ; 16:72]

وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ رِزْقًا مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ (73)

And they worship other than Allah that which does not possess for them any provision from the heavens and the earth, and they could never have.
[Al Quran ; 16:73]

فَلَا تَضْرِبُوا لِلَّهِ الْأَمْثَالَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ (74)

So do not strike parables to Allah; indeed, Allah knows and you do not know.
[Al Quran ; 16:74]

ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا عَبْدًا مَمْلُوكًا لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيْءٍ وَمَنْ رَزَقْنَاهُ مِنَّا رِزْقًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ يُنْفِقُ مِنْهُ سِرًّا وَجَهْرًا ۖ هَلْ يَسْتَوُونَ ۚ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ (75)

Allah strikes a parable, a slave (who is) owned and unable to do anything, and one whom We have provided from Us a good provision so he spends from it secretly and publicly, are they equal? Praise be to Allah; rather most of them do not know.
[Al Quran ; 16:75]

وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَبْكَمُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوْلَاهُ أَيْنَمَا يُوَجِّهْهُ لَا يَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ ۖ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي هُوَ وَمَنْ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ ۙ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ (76)

And Allah strikes a parable of two men, one of them is mute and unable to do anything while he is a burden upon his guardian. Wherever he (the guardian) directs him, he (the slave) brings no good. Is he (the slave) equal to the one who commands justice while he is on a straight path?
[Al Quran ; 16:76]

وَلِلَّهِ غَيْبُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَمَا أَمْرُ السَّاعَةِ إِلَّا كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ أَوْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ (77)

And to Allah belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth. And the command of the hour is not except a glance of a vision or nearer, Indeed, Allah is over everything Capable.
[Al Quran ; 16:77]

وَاللَّهُ أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ شَيْئًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ ۙ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ (78)

And Allah has extracted you from the bellies of your mothers not knowing a thing, and He made for you hearing and visions and hearts that perhaps you would give thanks.
[Al Quran ; 16:78]

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الطَّيْرِ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاءِ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ (79)

Do they not see the birds subjected in the atmosphere of the sky? None withholds them except Allah. Indeed, in that are signs for a people who believe.
[Al Quran ; 16:79]

وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمْ سَكَنًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ جُلُودِ الْأَنْعَامِ بُيُوتًا تَسْتَخِفُّونَهَا يَوْمَ ظَعْنِكُمْ وَيَوْمَ إِقَامَتِكُمْ ۙ وَمِنْ أَصْوَافِهَا وَأَوْبَارِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَا أَثَاثًا وَمَتَاعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍ (80)

And Allah has made for you from your homes a living and made for you from the skins of the cattle homes (tents) which you find light to carry on the day of your travel and on the day of your resting; and from their wool and their fur and their hair furniture and a provision for a time.
[Al Quran ; 16:80]

Verses 81-100

وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلَالًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ أَكْنَانًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ سَرَابِيلَ تَقِيكُمُ الْحَرَّ وَسَرَابِيلَ تَقِيكُمْ بَأْسَكُمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْلِمُونَ (81)

And Allah has made for you, from that which He has created, shadows and has made for you from the mountains shelters and has made for you garments which protect you from the heat and garments which protect you from your battle. Thus does He complete His favour upon you that perhaps you will submit.
[Al Quran ; 16:81]

فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ (82)

But if they turn away, then upon you is only clear notification.
[Al Quran ; 16:82]

يَعْرِفُونَ نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنْكِرُونَهَا وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ (83)

They know the favours of Allah, moreover they deny it, and most of them are unbelievers.
[Al Quran ; 16:83]

وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا ثُمَّ لَا يُؤْذَنُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ (84)

And the day when We will resurrect from every nation a witness, then it will not be permitted to those who have disbelieved, nor will they be allowed to appease.
[Al Quran ; 16:84]

وَإِذَا رَأَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا الْعَذَابَ فَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنْظَرُونَ (85)

And when those who did injustice will see the torture, it will not be lightened upon them, nor will they be reprieved.
[Al Quran ; 16:85]

وَإِذَا رَأَى الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا شُرَكَاءَهُمْ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا هَٰؤُلَاءِ شُرَكَاؤُنَا الَّذِينَ كُنَّا نَدْعُو مِنْ دُونِكَ ۖ فَأَلْقَوْا إِلَيْهِمُ الْقَوْلَ إِنَّكُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ (86)

And when those who have associated (others with Allah) will see their associates, they will say: Our Lord, these are our associates upon whom we used to call other than You. And they will throw to them the saying: Indeed, you are liars.
[Al Quran ; 16:86]

وَأَلْقَوْا إِلَى اللَّهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ السَّلَمَ ۖ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ (87)

And they will be thrown before Allah on that day in submission; and lost from them will be that which they used to forge.
[Al Quran ; 16:87]

الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَصَدُّوا عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ زِدْنَاهُمْ عَذَابًا فَوْقَ الْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُوا يُفْسِدُونَ (88)

(As for) those who have disbelieved and hindered from the way of Allah, We will increase them in torture over torture for what they used to make of mischief.
[Al Quran ; 16:88]

وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ ۖ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَىٰ هَٰؤُلَاءِ ۚ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ تِبْيَانًا لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ (89)

And the day when We will resurrect in every nation a witness over them from themselves; and We will bring you as a witness over these. And We have sent down to you the book as explanation to everything and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the submitters.
[Al Quran ; 16:89]

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ وَإِيتَاءِ ذِي الْقُرْبَىٰ وَيَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ ۚ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ (90)

Indeed, Allah commands justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids indecency and bad conduct and perpetration; He admonishes you that perhaps you will remember.
[Al Quran ; 16:90]

وَأَوْفُوا بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ إِذَا عَاهَدْتُمْ وَلَا تَنْقُضُوا الْأَيْمَانَ بَعْدَ تَوْكِيدِهَا وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْكُمْ كَفِيلًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ (91)

And fulfil the covenant of Allah when you have made a covenant, and do not break the oaths after confirming them while and you have already made Allah over you a Sponsor. Indeed, Allah knows what you do.
[Al Quran ; 16:91]

وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّتِي نَقَضَتْ غَزْلَهَا مِنْ بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنْكَاثًا تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلًا بَيْنَكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِيَ أَرْبَىٰ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ ۚ إِنَّمَا يَبْلُوكُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ ۚ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا كُنْتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ (92)

And be not like she who untwisted her thread after it was strong, in craziness, by taking your oaths in deceit between yourselves so that one nation is more plentiful than another nation. Allah only test you thereby. And He will surely explain to you on the day of resurrection that over which you used to disagree.
[Al Quran ; 16:92]

وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَلَٰكِنْ يُضِلُّ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۚ وَلَتُسْأَلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ (93)

And if Allah had willed, He would have made you one nation, but He misguides whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And you will surely be questioned about that which you used to do.
[Al Quran ; 16:93]

وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا أَيْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلًا بَيْنَكُمْ فَتَزِلَّ قَدَمٌ بَعْدَ ثُبُوتِهَا وَتَذُوقُوا السُّوءَ بِمَا صَدَدْتُمْ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَلَكُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ (94)

And do not take your oaths in deceit between yourselves, lest a foot slips after it was firm and (lest) you would taste evil for what you did of hindering (others) from the way of Allah; and for you will be a great torture.
[Al Quran ; 16:94]

وَلَا تَشْتَرُوا بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ (95)

And do not exchange the covenant of Allah for a small price; indeed, what is with Allah is best for you, if only you could know.
[Al Quran ; 16:95]

مَا عِنْدَكُمْ يَنْفَدُ ۖ وَمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ بَاقٍ ۗ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّ الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا أَجْرَهُمْ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ (96)

Whatever is with you will end, and whatever is with Allah is lasting. And We will surely give to those who were patient their reward for the best of what they used to do.
[Al Quran ; 16:96]

مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً ۖ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُمْ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ (97)

Whoever does good, whether male or female, while being a believer, We will surely cause him live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward for the best of what they used to do.
[Al Quran ; 16:97]

فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ (98)

So when you read the Quran, seek refuge in Allah from the pelted devil.
[Al Quran ; 16:98]

إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ (99)

Indeed, he has no authority over those who have believed and rely upon their Lord.
[Al Quran ; 16:99]

إِنَّمَا سُلْطَانُهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوْنَهُ وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ بِهِ مُشْرِكُونَ (100)

His authority is only over those who take him as a guardian and those who are through him polytheists.

Verses 101-120

وَإِذَا بَدَّلْنَا آيَةً مَكَانَ آيَةٍ ۙ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُفْتَرٍ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ (101)

And when We substitute a sign in place of (another) sign, and Allah is most knowing what He sends down, they say: You are only a forger. Rather, most of them do not know.
[Al Quran ; 16:101]

قُلْ نَزَّلَهُ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ مِنْ رَبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ لِيُثَبِّتَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَهُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ (102)

Say: The holy spirit has brought it down from your Lord in truth to make firm those who have believed and as guidance and good tidings for the submitters.
[Al Quran ; 16:102]

وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُ بَشَرٌ ۗ لِسَانُ الَّذِي يُلْحِدُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَعْجَمِيٌّ وَهَٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِيٌّ مُبِينٌ (103)

And We certainly know that they say: Only a human is teaching him (the Quran). The tongue of the one they refer to is foreign, and this is an obvious Arabic tongue.
[Al Quran ; 16:103]

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَهْدِيهِمُ اللَّهُ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ (104)

Indeed, those who do not believe in the signs of Allah, Allah will not guide them, and for them will be a painful torture.
[Al Quran ; 16:104]

إِنَّمَا يَفْتَرِي الْكَذِبَ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَاذِبُونَ (105)

Lies are only forged by those who do not believe in the signs of Allah, and it is them who are liars.
[Al Quran ; 16:105]

مَنْ كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ إِيمَانِهِ إِلَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُ مُطْمَئِنٌّ بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَٰكِنْ مَنْ شَرَحَ بِالْكُفْرِ صَدْرًا فَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ (106)

Whoever has disbelieved in Allah after his belief except one who is compelled while his heart is secured in belief. But those who open their chest to disbelief, upon them is the anger of Allah, and for them will be a great torture.
[Al Quran ; 16:106]

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْآخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ (107)

That is because they liked the life of this world over the hereafter. And indeed, Allah does not guide the unbelieving people.
[Al Quran ; 16:107]

أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَارِهِمْ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ (108)

It is them over whose hearts and hearing and visions Allah has set a seal, and it is them who are unaware.
[Al Quran ; 16:108]

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ (109)

Assuredly, it is them who will be in the hereafter losers.
[Al Quran ; 16:109]

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا فُتِنُوا ثُمَّ جَاهَدُوا وَصَبَرُوا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنْ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ (110)

And indeed, your Lord is, to those who emigrated after they have been persecuted an strived and were patient, indeed, your Lord thereafter is Forgiving, Merciful.
[Al Quran ; 16:110]

يَوْمَ تَأْتِي كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجَادِلُ عَنْ نَفْسِهَا وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ (111)

The day when every soul will come arguing for itself. And every soul will be fully paid for what it has done; and they will not be dealt with unjustly.
[Al Quran ; 16:111]

وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا قَرْيَةً كَانَتْ آمِنَةً مُطْمَئِنَّةً يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ فَكَفَرَتْ بِأَنْعُمِ اللَّهِ فَأَذَاقَهَا اللَّهُ لِبَاسَ الْجُوعِ وَالْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ (112)

And Allah strikes an example of a village that was safe and secure, its provision comes to it in abundance from every place, then it disbelieved in the favours of Allah, so Allah made it to taste hunger and fear because of what they used to fabricate.
[Al Quran ; 16:112]

وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ (113)

And there certainly came to them a messenger from among them, but they denied him, so torture seized them while they were unjust.
[Al Quran ; 16:113]

فَكُلُوا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَاشْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ (114)

And eat from what Allah has provided for you lawful and good. And be thankful for the favours of Allah, if it is Him Whom you worship.
[Al Quran ; 16:114]

إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ ۖ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ (115)

He has only prohibited upon you the dead (cattle), and blood, and the meat of swine, and that over which any (name) other than Allah has been invoked. But whoever is forced while not desiring nor perpetrating, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[Al Quran ; 16:115]

وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُكُمُ الْكَذِبَ هَٰذَا حَلَالٌ وَهَٰذَا حَرَامٌ لِتَفْتَرُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ (116)

And do not say about what your tongues describe of lies: This is lawful and this is prohibited, to forge against Allah lies; indeed, those who forge against Allah lies will not succeed.
[Al Quran ; 16:116]

مَتَاعٌ قَلِيلٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ (117)

A little enjoyment, and for them will be a painful torture.
[Al Quran ; 16:117]

وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ هَادُوا حَرَّمْنَا مَا قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۖ وَمَا ظَلَمْنَاهُمْ وَلَٰكِنْ كَانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ (118)

And upon those who are Jews, We prohibited what We have related to you before; and We did not do them injustice, but they were to themselves unjust.
[Al Quran ; 16:118]

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السُّوءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ تَابُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنْ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ (119)

And indeed, your Lord to those who did evil in ignorance then repented after that and amended, indeed, your Lord thereafter is Forgiving, Merciful.
[Al Quran ; 16:119]

إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِلَّهِ حَنِيفًا وَلَمْ يَكُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ (120)

Indeed, Ibrahim was a leader, devoted to Allah, upright; and he was not of the polytheists.

He (Ibrahim) was grateful for His favours; He chose him and guided him to a straight path.

And We gave him in this world good; and indeed, he is in the hereafter from among the pious.

ثُمَّ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ أَنِ اتَّبِعْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا ۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ (123)

Then We revealed to you to follow the religion of Ibrahim, the upright one; and he was not among the polytheists.
[Al Quran ; 16:123]

إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ السَّبْتُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ ۚ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ (124)

The Sabbath was only made for those who disagreed over it; and indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the day of resurrection concerning that over which they used to disagree.

ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ ۖ وَجَادِلْهُمْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ ضَلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ (125)

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good admonishment, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most Knowing of who has strayed from His path, and He is most Knowing of the guided (ones).

وَإِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُوا بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبْتُمْ بِهِ ۖ وَلَئِنْ صَبَرْتُمْ لَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لِلصَّابِرِينَ (126)

And if you punish, then punish with the like of that with which you were punished; but if you are patient, then it will be good for those who are patient.
