وَ اِذَا رَاَوْكَ اِنْ یَّتَّخِذُوْنَكَ اِلَّا هُزُوًا ؕ اَهٰذَا الَّذِیْ بَعَثَ اللّٰهُ رَسُوْلًا۝۴۱

When they see you they take you only in jest: "Is this the one whom God has sent as messenger?

اِنْ كَادَ لَیُضِلُّنَا عَنْ اٰلِهَتِنَا لَوْ لَاۤ اَنْ صَبَرْنَا عَلَیْهَا ؕ وَ سَوْفَ یَعْلَمُوْنَ حِیْنَ یَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَ مَنْ اَضَلُّ سَبِیْلًا۝۴۲

He would have surely turned us away from our gods if we had not adhered to them." They will know soon who is farther away from the path when they see the punishment!

اَرَءَیْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰهَهٗ هَوٰىهُ ؕ اَفَاَنْتَ تَكُوْنُ عَلَیْهِ وَكِیْلًاۙ۝۴۳

Have you considered him who takes his own lust for his god? Can you stand a surety for him?

اَمْ تَحْسَبُ اَنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ یَسْمَعُوْنَ اَوْ یَعْقِلُوْنَ ؕ اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا كَالْاَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ اَضَلُّ سَبِیْلًا۠۝۴۴

Or do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are no better than cattle; in fact they are farther astray from the path.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلٰی رَبِّكَ كَیْفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّ ۚ وَ لَوْ شَآءَ لَجَعَلَهٗ سَاكِنًا ۚ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا الشَّمْسَ عَلَیْهِ دَلِیْلًاۙ۝۴۵

Have you not seen how your Lord lengthens out the shadow? He could have kept it motionless if He liked. Yet We make the sun its pilot to show the way.

ثُمَّ قَبَضْنٰهُ اِلَیْنَا قَبْضًا یَّسِیْرًا۝۴۶

Then We draw it back to Us, withdrawing it little by little.

وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الَّیْلَ لِبَاسًا وَّ النَّوْمَ سُبَاتًا وَّ جَعَلَ النَّهَارَ نُشُوْرًا۝۴۷

It is He who made the night a covering for you; and made sleep for rest, the day for rising.

وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَرْسَلَ الرِّیٰحَ بُشْرًۢا بَیْنَ یَدَیْ رَحْمَتِهٖ ۚ وَ اَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً طَهُوْرًاۙ۝۴۸

It is He who sends the winds with auspicious news in advance of His benevolence; and We send pure water down from the sky

لِّنُحْیِ َۧ بِهٖ بَلْدَةً مَّیْتًا وَّ نُسْقِیَهٗ مِمَّا خَلَقْنَاۤ اَنْعَامًا وَّ اَنَاسِیَّ كَثِیْرًا۝۴۹

To quicken a region that was dead, and to give it as drink to animals We have created and to men in plenty.

وَ لَقَدْ صَرَّفْنٰهُ بَیْنَهُمْ لِیَذَّكَّرُوْا ۖؗ فَاَبٰۤی اَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ اِلَّا كُفُوْرًا۝۵۰

And We distribute it among them in various ways that they may ponder and reflect; yet most men disdain everything but denial and thanklessness.
