| 42. Say, `Travel in the earth and see how evil was the end of those before you. Most of them were idolaters.' 43. So set thy face to the service of the right religion, before there comes the day from ALLAH for which there will be no averting. On that day believers and disbelievers will be separated from each other. 44. Those who disbelieve will bear the consequences of their disbelief; and those who do righteous deeds prepare good for their own souls, 45. That HE, out of HIS bounty, may reward those who believe and act righteously. Surely, HE loves not the disbelievers. 46. And of HIS Signs is that HE sends the winds as bearers of glad tidings and that HE may make you taste of HIS mercy, and that the ships may sail at HIS command, and that you may seek of HIS bounty, and that you may be grateful. 47. And, surely, WE sent Messengers before thee to their own people, and they brought them clear Signs. Then WE punished those who were guilty. And it was certainly incumbent upon US to help the believers. 48. It is ALLAH Who sends the winds so that they raise the vapours in the form of a cloud. Then HE spreads it in the sky as HE pleases, and then HE spreads it into fragments, and thou seest the rain issuing forth from its midst. And when HE causes it to fall on whom HE pleases of HIS servants, behold ! they rejoice; 49. Though before that - before it was sent down upon them -they were in despair. 50. Observe, then, the marks of ALLAH's mercy; how HE quickens the earth after its death. Verily, it is HE Who quickens the dead; for HE has power over all things. |
