Read Surah An-Nahl

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ قَالَ اللّٰهُ لَا تَتَّخِذُوْۤا اِلٰهَیْنِ اثْنَیْنِ ۚ اِنَّمَا هُوَ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ ۚ فَاِیَّایَ فَارْهَبُوْنِ۝۵۱

God says: "Do not take to two gods, for there is only one God. So fear Me."

وَ لَهٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ لَهُ الدِّیْنُ وَاصِبًا ؕ اَفَغَیْرَ اللّٰهِ تَتَّقُوْنَ۝۵۲

Whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him, and His the judgement for ever. So will you fear any other than God?

وَ مَا بِكُمْ مِّنْ نِّعْمَةٍ فَمِنَ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ اِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فَاِلَیْهِ تَجْـَٔرُوْنَۚ۝۵۳

Whatsoever the blessings you enjoy are surely from God, and when in trouble you turn to Him in supplication.

ثُمَّ اِذَا كَشَفَ الضُّرَّ عَنْكُمْ اِذَا فَرِیْقٌ مِّنْكُمْ بِرَبِّهِمْ یُشْرِكُوْنَۙ۝۵۴

Yet when He has delivered you from affliction, some of you ascribe companions to your Lord

لِیَكْفُرُوْا بِمَاۤ اٰتَیْنٰهُمْ ؕ فَتَمَتَّعُوْا ۫ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۵۵

So as to deny what We have bestowed on them. Well, enjoy yourselves, you will come to know soon.

وَ یَجْعَلُوْنَ لِمَا لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ نَصِیْبًا مِّمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ ؕ تَاللّٰهِ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنْتُمْ تَفْتَرُوْنَ۝۵۶

They set aside a portion of the food We have given them for those they do not know. By God, you will surely have to answer for all you contrive!

وَ یَجْعَلُوْنَ لِلّٰهِ الْبَنٰتِ سُبْحٰنَهٗ ۙ وَ لَهُمْ مَّا یَشْتَهُوْنَ۝۵۷

They attribute daughters to God, the glorious, but for themselves whatsoever they please.

وَ اِذَا بُشِّرَ اَحَدُهُمْ بِالْاُنْثٰی ظَلَّ وَجْهُهٗ مُسْوَدًّا وَّ هُوَ كَظِیْمٌۚ۝۵۸

Yet when news of the birth of a daughter reaches one of them, his face is darkened, and he is overwhelmed with silent grief,

یَتَوَارٰی مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ سُوْٓءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهٖ ؕ اَیُمْسِكُهٗ عَلٰی هُوْنٍ اَمْ یَدُسُّهٗ فِی التُّرَابِ ؕ اَلَا سَآءَ مَا یَحْكُمُوْنَ۝۵۹

And hides from people for shame at the news, (at a loss) whether he should keep her with shame, or bury her in the ground. How bad is the judgement that they make!

لِلَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ مَثَلُ السَّوْءِ ۚ وَ لِلّٰهِ الْمَثَلُ الْاَعْلٰی ؕ وَ هُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ۠۝۶۰

The semblance of those who believe not in the life to come is that of the meanest; but the semblance of God is the most sublime, for He is all-mighty and all-wise.
