| 15. And HE has placed in the earth firm mountains lest it quake with you and rivers and routes that you may find the way to your destination. 16. And, HE has set up other marks; by them and by the stars they follow the right direction. 17. Is HE, then, WHO creates like one who creates not ? Will you not then take heed ? 18. And if you try to count the favours of ALLAH, you will not be able to number them. Surely, ALLAH is Most Forgiving, Merciful. 19. And ALLAH knows what you keep hidden and what you disclose. 20. And those on whom they call besides ALLAH create not anything, but they are themselves created. 21. They are dead, not living; and they know not when they will be raised. 22. Your God is One God. And as to those who believe not in the Hereafter, their hearts are strangers to truth and they are full of pride. 23. Undoubtedly, ALLAH knows what they keep secret and what they disclose. Surely, HE loves not the proud. 24. And when it is said to them, `What think ye of that which your Lord has sent down ?' They say, `They are but mere stories of the ancients.' 25. The consequence will be that they shall bear their burdens in full on the Day of Resurrection, and also a portion of the burdens of those whom they lead astray without knowledge. Behold ! evil is that which the bear. 26. Those who were before them also devised plans, but ALLAH came upon their structure from the very foundations, so that the roof fell down upon them from above them, and the punishment came upon them from where they knew not. |
