Read Surah Al-Araf

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُمْ مِّنْ حَیْثُ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَۚۖ۝۱۸۲

We shall punish those who deny Our revelations slowly in a way that they will not know.

وَ اُمْلِیْ لَهُمْ ۫ؕ اِنَّ كَیْدِیْ مَتِیْنٌ۝۱۸۳

I will just give them respite. My plan is certainly invincible.

اَوَ لَمْ یَتَفَكَّرُوْا ٚ مَا بِصَاحِبِهِمْ مِّنْ جِنَّةٍ ؕ اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا نَذِیْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ۝۱۸۴

Have they not bethought themselves their companion is not mad? He is only a plain admonisher.

اَوَ لَمْ یَنْظُرُوْا فِیْ مَلَكُوْتِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ شَیْءٍ ۙ وَّ اَنْ عَسٰۤی اَنْ یَّكُوْنَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ اَجَلُهُمْ ۚ فَبِاَیِّ حَدِیْثٍۭ بَعْدَهٗ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ۝۱۸۵

Have they not contemplated the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything created by God, (to educe) that perhaps their own term is drawing to a close? In what lore after this would they then believe?

مَنْ یُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَلَا هَادِیَ لَهٗ ؕ وَ یَذَرُهُمْ فِیْ طُغْیَانِهِمْ یَعْمَهُوْنَ۝۱۸۶

Whosoever God allows to go astray has none to show him the way, for He leaves them to wander perplexed in their wickedness.

یَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَیَّانَ مُرْسٰىهَا ؕ قُلْ اِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّیْ ۚ لَا یُجَلِّیْهَا لِوَقْتِهَاۤ اِلَّا هُوَ ؔۘؕ ثَقُلَتْ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ ؕ لَا تَاْتِیْكُمْ اِلَّا بَغْتَةً ؕ یَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ كَاَنَّكَ حَفِیٌّ عَنْهَا ؕ قُلْ اِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۱۸۷

They ask you about the Hour: "When is its determined time?" Say: "Only my Lord has the knowledge. No one can reveal it except He. Oppressive will it be for the heavens and the earth. When it comes, it will come unawares." They ask you about it as if you were in the know. You tell them: "Only God has the knowledge." But most people do not know.

قُلْ لَّاۤ اَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِیْ نَفْعًا وَّ لَا ضَرًّا اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ اللّٰهُ ؕ وَ لَوْ كُنْتُ اَعْلَمُ الْغَیْبَ لَا سْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ الْخَیْرِ ۛۖۚ وَ مَا مَسَّنِیَ السُّوْٓءُ ۛۚ اِنْ اَنَا اِلَّا نَذِیْرٌ وَّ بَشِیْرٌ لِّقَوْمٍ یُّؤْمِنُوْنَ۠۝۱۸۸

Tell them: "I am not master of my own gain or loss but as God may please. If I had the knowledge of the Unknown I would have enjoyed abundance of the good, and no evil would have touched me. I am only a bearer of warnings and bringer of happy news for those who believe."

هُوَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّفْسٍ وَّاحِدَةٍ وَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِیَسْكُنَ اِلَیْهَا ۚ فَلَمَّا تَغَشّٰىهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلًا خَفِیْفًا فَمَرَّتْ بِهٖ ۚ فَلَمَّاۤ اَثْقَلَتْ دَّعَوَا اللّٰهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَىِٕنْ اٰتَیْتَنَا صَالِحًا لَّنَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الشّٰكِرِیْنَ۝۱۸۹

It is He who created you from a single cell, and from it created its mate, that you may live as companions. When the man covered the woman she conceived a light burden and carried it about. And when she was heavy (with child) they prayed together to their Lord: "If You bestow a healthy son on us we shall truly be grateful."

فَلَمَّاۤ اٰتٰىهُمَا صَالِحًا جَعَلَا لَهٗ شُرَكَآءَ فِیْمَاۤ اٰتٰىهُمَا ۚ فَتَعٰلَی اللّٰهُ عَمَّا یُشْرِكُوْنَ۝۱۹۰

But when they were given a healthy son, they started ascribing to other powers a share in what God had bestowed on them. But God is above what they ascribe to Him.

اَیُشْرِكُوْنَ مَا لَا یَخْلُقُ شَیْـًٔا وَّ هُمْ یُخْلَقُوْنَؗۖ۝۱۹۱

Do they associate those with Him who cannot create a thing, and are themselves created,
