ثُمَّ قَبَضۡنَٰهُ إِلَيۡنَا قَبۡضٗا يَسِيرٗا 46

46        Then We withdraw it to Us gradually (and it is replaced by pitch darkness of the night).

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسٗا وَٱلنَّوۡمَ سُبَاتٗا وَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ نُشُورٗا 47

47        And He has made the night a covering for you, and sleep for your comfort. And made the day as time to rise (for activities).

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَرۡسَلَ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ بُشۡرَۢا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡ رَحۡمَتِهِۦۚ وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ طَهُورٗا 48

48        And He sends the winds as a good tiding in advance before He sends down the rain and We send down pure water from the sky.

لِّنُحۡـِۧيَ بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةٗ مَّيۡتٗا وَنُسۡقِيَهُۥ مِمَّا خَلَقۡنَآ أَنۡعَٰمٗا وَأَنَاسِيَّ كَثِيرٗا 49

49        So that We give life to the dead land and let many of the cattle and mankind, which We have created, drink it.

وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَٰهُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ لِيَذَّكَّرُواْ فَأَبَىٰٓ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورٗا 50

50        And, We have distributed it (the rain) among the people (according to Our wisdom) so that they learn a lesson from it. In spite of this most people accept nothing but disbelief or ingratitude.

وَلَوۡ شِئۡنَا لَبَعَثۡنَا فِي كُلِّ قَرۡيَةٖ نَّذِيرٗا 51

51        And had We willed, We would have sent a warner in every town (we rather made you the warner for the entire Universe).

فَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ وَجَٰهِدۡهُم بِهِۦ جِهَادٗا كَبِيرٗا 52

52        So don’t obey the disbelievers but strive very hard against them with it (i.e. the teachings of the Quran).

۞وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي مَرَجَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَيۡنِ هَٰذَا عَذۡبٞ فُرَاتٞ وَهَٰذَا مِلۡحٌ أُجَاجٞ وَجَعَلَ بَيۡنَهُمَا بَرۡزَخٗا وَحِجۡرٗا مَّحۡجُورٗا 53

53        And He has made two seas joined yet separated. One of them has sweet and thirst-quenching water and the other salty and bitter, and He has put (through His Power) a barrier and a strong partition between them (over long distances).

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَآءِ بَشَرٗا فَجَعَلَهُۥ نَسَبٗا وَصِهۡرٗاۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِيرٗا 54

54        And He has created man from water and made for him the blood relatives and also relatives from his wife’s side. And your Creator is All-Powerful.

وَيَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُهُمۡ وَلَا يَضُرُّهُمۡۗ وَكَانَ ٱلۡكَافِرُ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ ظَهِيرٗا 55

55        And they (the disbelievers) worship others besides Allah while their false gods can neither benefit nor harm them. And the disbeliever is, indeed, the helper (of Satan) against his Creator.

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرٗا وَنَذِيرٗا 56

56        And We have not sent you but to give glad tidings (of Paradise to the believers) and to warn (the disbelievers about Hell).

قُلۡ مَآ أَسۡ‍َٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ أَن يَتَّخِذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلٗا 57

57        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)] Say: “I am not asking you for any reward for this (guidance) except that whosoever wills may seek the Path to his Creator (that will be My reward).

وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱلۡحَيِّ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِهِۦۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِهِۦ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرًا 58

58        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] And put your full trust in the Ever Living One Who does not die, and glorify His Praises, and He is Sufficient as the All-Knower of the sins of His slaves,

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ فَسۡ‍َٔلۡ بِهِۦ خَبِيرٗا 59

59        It is He Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them (e.g.plasma) in six Days. Then He rose over the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). He is the Most Gracious (Allah)! [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] So you may ask about Him from any knowledgeable person. (Also see 15:85, 19:65, 20:6, 21:16, 25:59, 29:8, 32:4.)

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱسۡجُدُواْۤ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ قَالُواْ وَمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ أَنَسۡجُدُ لِمَا تَأۡمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمۡ نُفُورٗا۩ 60

60        And when it is said to them: “You prostrate yourselves to the Most Gracious (Allah).” The disbelievers say: “And what is the Most Gracious? Shall We fall down in prostration to that which you [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)] command us?” And it (this guidance) increases hatred in them.

تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجٗا وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَٰجٗا وَقَمَرٗا مُّنِيرٗا 61

61        Blessed is He Who has created big stars in the heavens, and He created a lamp with its own light (i.e. the sun) and the moon with borrowed or reflected light – (Man has discovered recently that the sun has its own light and the moon has borrowed light). Also see 10:5, 71:16

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ خِلۡفَةٗ لِّمَنۡ أَرَادَ أَن يَذَّكَّرَ أَوۡ أَرَادَ شُكُورٗا 62

62        And He made the night and the day follow each other in succession, for the person who seeks to learn a lesson or intends to be grateful (to Allah).

وَعِبَادُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَمۡشُونَ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ هَوۡنٗا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ ٱلۡجَٰهِلُونَ قَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗا 63

63        And the (faithful) slaves of the Most Gracious (Allah) are those who walk on the earth modestly, and when the ignorant people address them (with bad words), they simply reply with ‘Salam’ (peace; to avoid evil).

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَبِيتُونَ لِرَبِّهِمۡ سُجَّدٗا وَقِيَٰمٗا 64

64        And those who spend the night in worship of their Creator, prostrating and standing.

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا ٱصۡرِفۡ عَنَّا عَذَابَ جَهَنَّمَۖ إِنَّ عَذَابَهَا كَانَ غَرَامًا 65

65        And those who say: “Our Creator! (Please) keep us safe from the torment of Hell. Indeed, it is an ever clinging (i.e. permanent) tor-ment. (Also Surah Al-Muminun:60)
