16:1
Sahih International
The command of Allah is coming, so be not impatient for it. Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.
16:2
Sahih International
He sends down the angels, with the inspiration of His command, upon whom He wills of His servants, [telling them], "Warn that there is no deity except Me; so fear Me."
16:3
Sahih International
He created the heavens and earth in truth. High is He above what they associate with Him.
16:4
Sahih International
He created man from a sperm-drop; then at once, he is a clear adversary.
16:5
Sahih International
And the grazing livestock He has created for you; in them is warmth and [numerous] benefits, and from them you eat.
16:6
Sahih International
And for you in them is [the enjoyment of] beauty when you bring them in [for the evening] and when you send them out [to pasture].
16:7
Sahih International
And they carry your loads to a land you could not have reached except with difficulty to yourselves. Indeed, your Lord is Kind and Merciful.
16:8
Sahih International
And [He created] the horses, mules and donkeys for you to ride and [as] adornment. And He creates that which you do not know.
16:9
Sahih International
And upon Allah is the direction of the [right] way, and among the various paths are those deviating. And if He willed, He could have guided you all.
16:10
Sahih International
It is He who sends down rain from the sky; from it is drink and from it is foliage in which you pasture [animals].
16:11
Sahih International
He causes to grow for you thereby the crops, olives, palm trees, grapevines, and from all the fruits. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.
16:12
Sahih International
And He has subjected for you the night and day and the sun and moon, and the stars are subjected by His command. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason.
16:13
Sahih International
And [He has subjected] whatever He multiplied for you on the earth of varying colors. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who remember.
16:14
Sahih International
And it is He who subjected the sea for you to eat from it tender meat and to extract from it ornaments which you wear. And you see the ships plowing through it, and [He subjected it] that you may seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.
16:15
Sahih International
And He has cast into the earth firmly set mountains, lest it shift with you, and [made] rivers and roads, that you may be guided,
16:16
Sahih International
And landmarks. And by the stars they are [also] guided.
16:17
Sahih International
Then is He who creates like one who does not create? So will you not be reminded?
16:18
Sahih International
And if you should count the favors of Allah , you could not enumerate them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
16:19
Sahih International
And Allah knows what you conceal and what you declare.
16:20
Sahih International
And those they invoke other than Allah create nothing, and they [themselves] are created.
16:21
Sahih International
They are, [in fact], dead, not alive, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.
16:22
Sahih International
Your god is one God. But those who do not believe in the Hereafter - their hearts are disapproving, and they are arrogant.
16:23
Sahih International
Assuredly, Allah knows what they conceal and what they declare. Indeed, He does not like the arrogant.
16:24
Sahih International
And when it is said to them, "What has your Lord sent down?" They say, "Legends of the former peoples,"
16:25
Sahih International
That they may bear their own burdens in full on the Day of Resurrection and some of the burdens of those whom they misguide without knowledge. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear.
16:26
Sahih International
Those before them had already plotted, but Allah came at their building from the foundations, so the roof fell upon them from above them, and the punishment came to them from where they did not perceive.
16:27
Sahih International
Then on the Day of Resurrection He will disgrace them and say, "Where are My 'partners' for whom you used to oppose [the believers]?" Those who were given knowledge will say, "Indeed disgrace, this Day, and evil are upon the disbelievers" -
16:28
Sahih International
The ones whom the angels take in death [while] wronging themselves, and [who] then offer submission, [saying], "We were not doing any evil." But, yes! Indeed, Allah is Knowing of what you used to do.
16:29
Sahih International
So enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and how wretched is the residence of the arrogant.
16:30
Sahih International
And it will be said to those who feared Allah , "What did your Lord send down?" They will say, "[That which is] good." For those who do good in this world is good; and the home of the Hereafter is better. And how excellent is the home of the righteous -
16:31
Sahih International
Gardens of perpetual residence, which they will enter, beneath which rivers flow. They will have therein whatever they wish. Thus does Allah reward the righteous -
16:32
Sahih International
The ones whom the angels take in death, [being] good and pure; [the angels] will say, "Peace be upon you. Enter Paradise for what you used to do."
16:33
Sahih International
Do the disbelievers await [anything] except that the angels should come to them or there comes the command of your Lord? Thus did those do before them. And Allah wronged them not, but they had been wronging themselves.
16:34
Sahih International
So they were struck by the evil consequences of what they did and were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
16:35
Sahih International
And those who associate others with Allah say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have worshipped anything other than Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden anything through other than Him." Thus did those do before them. So is there upon the messengers except [the duty of] clear notification?
16:36
Sahih International
And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allah and avoid Taghut." And among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers.
16:37
Sahih International
[Even] if you should strive for their guidance, [O Muhammad], indeed, Allah does not guide those He sends astray, and they will have no helpers.
16:38
Sahih International
And they swear by Allah their strongest oaths [that] Allah will not resurrect one who dies. But yes - [it is] a true promise [binding] upon Him, but most of the people do not know.
16:39
Sahih International
[It is] so He will make clear to them [the truth of] that wherein they differ and so those who have disbelieved may know that they were liars.
16:40
Sahih International
Indeed, Our word to a thing when We intend it is but that We say to it, "Be," and it is.
16:41
Sahih International
And those who emigrated for [the cause of] Allah after they had been wronged - We will surely settle them in this world in a good place; but the reward of the Hereafter is greater, if only they could know.
16:42
Sahih International
[They are] those who endured patiently and upon their Lord relied.
16:43
Sahih International
And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed [Our message]. So ask the people of the message if you do not know.
16:44
Sahih International
[We sent them] with clear proofs and written ordinances. And We revealed to you the message that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them and that they might give thought.
16:45
Sahih International
Then, do those who have planned evil deeds feel secure that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them or that the punishment will not come upon them from where they do not perceive?
16:46
Sahih International
Or that He would not seize them during their [usual] activity, and they could not cause failure?
16:47
Sahih International
Or that He would not seize them gradually [in a state of dread]? But indeed, your Lord is Kind and Merciful.
16:48
Sahih International
Have they not considered what things Allah has created? Their shadows incline to the right and to the left, prostrating to Allah , while they are humble.
16:49
Sahih International
And to Allah prostrates whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth of creatures, and the angels [as well], and they are not arrogant.
16:50
Sahih International
They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded.
16:51
Sahih International
And Allah has said, "Do not take for yourselves two deities. He is but one God, so fear only Me."
16:52
Sahih International
And to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and to Him is [due] worship constantly. Then is it other than Allah that you fear?
16:53
Sahih International
And whatever you have of favor - it is from Allah . Then when adversity touches you, to Him you cry for help.
16:54
Sahih International
Then when He removes the adversity from you, at once a party of you associates others with their Lord
16:55
Sahih International
So they will deny what We have given them. Then enjoy yourselves, for you are going to know.
16:56
Sahih International
And they assign to what they do not know a portion of that which We have provided them. By Allah , you will surely be questioned about what you used to invent.
16:57
Sahih International
And they attribute to Allah daughters - exalted is He - and for them is what they desire.
