سورة الفرقان

And when they see you, they do not take you for aught but a mockery: Is this he whom Allah has raised to be an apostle?

He had well-nigh led us astray from our gods had we not adhered to them patiently! And they will know, when they see the punishment, who is straying farther off from the path.

Have you seen him who takes his low desires for his god? Will you then be a protector over him?

Or do you think that most of them do hear or understand? They are nothing but as cattle; nay, they are straying farther off from the path.

Have you not considered (the work of) your Lord, how He extends the shade? And if He had pleased He would certainly have made it stationary; then We have made the sun an indication of it

Then We take it to Ourselves, taking little by little.

And He it is Who made the night a covering for you, and the sleep a rest, and He made the day to rise up again.

And He it is Who sends the winds as good news before His mercy; and We send down pure water from the cloud,

That We may give life thereby to a dead land and give it for drink, out of what We have created, to cattle and many people.

And certainly We have repeated this to them that they may be mindful, but the greater number of men do not consent to aught except denying.
