[All] praise is [due] to Allah, who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the light. Then those who disbelieve equate [others] with their Lord

It is He who created you from clay and then decreed a term and a specified time [known] to Him; then [still] you are in dispute

And He is Allah, [the only deity] in the heavens and the earth. He knows your secret and what you make public, and He knows that which you earn

And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they turn away therefrom

For they had denied the truth when it came to them, but there is going to reach them the news of what they used to ridicule

أَلَمْDid notيَرَوْا۟they seeكَمْhow manyأَهْلَكْنَاWe destroyedمِنfromقَبْلِهِمbefore themمِّنofقَرْنٍgenerationsمَّكَّنَّٰهُمْWe had established themفِىinٱلْأَرْضِthe earthمَاwhatلَمْnotنُمَكِّنWe (have) establishedلَّكُمْfor youوَأَرْسَلْنَاAnd We sentٱلسَّمَآءَ(rain from) the skyعَلَيْهِمupon themمِّدْرَارًاshowering abundantlyوَجَعَلْنَاand We madeٱلْأَنْهَٰرَthe riversتَجْرِىflowمِنfromتَحْتِهِمْunderneath themفَأَهْلَكْنَٰهُمThen We destroyed themبِذُنُوبِهِمْfor their sinsوَأَنشَأْنَاand We raisedمِنۢfromبَعْدِهِمْafter themقَرْنًاgenerationsءَاخَرِينَother﴿٦﴾

Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them which We had established upon the earth as We have not established you? And We sent [rain from] the sky upon them in showers and made rivers flow beneath them; then We destroyed them for their sins and brought forth after them a generation of others

And even if We had sent down to you, [O Muhammad], a written scripture on a page and they touched it with their hands, the disbelievers would say, "This is not but obvious magic

And they say, "Why was there not sent down to him an angel?" But if We had sent down an angel, the matter would have been decided; then they would not be reprieved

And if We had made him an angel, We would have made him [appear as] a man, and We would have covered them with that in which they cover themselves

Say, "To whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and earth?" Say, "To Allah." He has decreed upon Himself mercy. He will surely assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt. Those who will lose themselves [that Day] do not believe

Say, "Is it other than Allah I should take as a protector, Creator of the heavens and the earth, while it is He who feeds and is not fed?" Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, I have been commanded to be the first [among you] who submit [to Allah] and [was commanded], 'Do not ever be of the polytheists

Say, "What thing is greatest in testimony?" Say, "Allah is witness between me and you. And this Qur'an was revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches. Do you [truly] testify that with Allah there are other deities?" Say, "I will not testify [with you]." Say, "Indeed, He is but one God, and indeed, I am free of what you associate [with Him]
