Sahih International
But  there  would  not  come  to  them  a  prophet  except  that  they  used  to  ridicule  him.
Sahih International
And  We  destroyed  greater  than  them  in  [striking]  power,  and  the  example  of  the  former peoples  has  preceded.
Sahih International
And  if  you  should  ask  them,  "Who  has  created  the  heavens  and  the  earth?"  they  would surely  say,  "They  were  created  by  the  Exalted  in  Might,  the  Knowing."
Sahih International
[The  one]  who  has  made  for  you  the  earth  a  bed  and  made  for  you  upon  it  roads  that you  might  be  guided
Sahih International
And  who  sends  down  rain  from  the  sky  in  measured  amounts,  and  We  revive  thereby  a dead  land  -   thus  will  you  be  brought  forth  -
Sahih International
And  who  created  the  species,  all  of  them,  and  has  made  for  you  of  ships  and  animals those  which  you  mount.
Sahih International
That  you  may  settle  yourselves  upon  their  backs  and  then  remember  the  favor  of  your Lord  when  you  have  settled  upon  them  and  say.  "Exalted  is  He  who  has  subjected  this to  us,  and  we  could  not  have  [otherwise]  subdued  it.
Sahih International
But  they  have  attributed  to  Him  from  His  servants  a  portion.  Indeed,  man  is  clearly ungrateful.
Sahih International
Or  has  He  taken,  out  of  what  He  has  created,  daughters  and  chosen  you  for  [having] sons?
Sahih International
And  when  one  of  them  is  given  good  tidings  of  that  which  he  attributes  to  the  Most Merciful  in  comparison,  his  face  becomes  dark,  and  he  suppresses  grief.
Sahih International
So  is  one  brought  up  in  ornaments  while  being  during  conflict  unevident  [attributed  to Allah ]?
Sahih International
And  they  have  made  the  angels,  who  are  servants  of  the  Most  Merciful,  females.  Did they  witness  their  creation?  Their  testimony  will  be  recorded,  and  they  will  be questioned.
Sahih International
And  they  said,  "If  the  Most  Merciful  had  willed,  we  would  not  have  worshipped  them." They  have  of  that  no  knowledge.  They  are  not  but  falsifying.
Sahih International
Or  have  We  given  them  a  book  before  the  Qur'an  to  which  they  are  adhering?
Sahih International
Rather,  they  say,  "Indeed,  we  found  our  fathers  upon  a  religion,  and  we  are  in  their footsteps  [rightly]  guided."
Sahih International
And  similarly,  We  did  not  send  before  you  any  warner  into  a  city  except  that  its  affluent said,  "Indeed,  we  found  our  fathers  upon  a  religion,  and  we  are,  in  their  footsteps, following."
Sahih International
[Each  warner]  said,  "Even  if  I  brought  you  better  guidance  than  that  [religion]  upon which  you  found  your  fathers?"  They  said,  "Indeed  we,  in  that  with  which  you  were sent,  are  disbelievers."
Sahih International
So  we  took  retribution  from  them;  then  see  how  was  the  end  of  the  deniers.
Sahih International
And  [mention,  O  Muhammad],  when  Abraham  said  to  his  father  and  his  people, "Indeed,  I  am  disassociated  from  that  which  you  worship
Sahih International
And  he  made  it  a  word  remaining  among  his  descendants  that  they  might  return  [to  it].
Sahih International
However,  I  gave  enjoyment  to  these  [people  of  Makkah]  and  their  fathers  until  there came  to  them  the  truth  and  a  clear  Messenger.
Sahih International
But  when  the  truth  came  to  them,  they  said,  "This  is  magic,  and  indeed  we  are, concerning  it,  disbelievers."
Sahih International
And  they  said,  "Why  was  this  Qur'an  not  sent  down  upon  a  great  man  from  [one  of]  the two  cities?"
Sahih International
Do  they  distribute  the  mercy  of  your  Lord?  It  is  We  who  have  apportioned  among  them their  livelihood  in  the  life  of  this  world  and  have  raised  some  of  them  above  others  in degrees  [of  rank]  that  they  may  make  use  of  one  another  for  service.  But  the  mercy  of your  Lord  is  better  than  whatever  they  accumulate.
Sahih International
And  if  it  were  not  that  the  people  would  become  one  community  [of  disbelievers],  We would  have  made  for  those  who  disbelieve  in  the  Most  Merciful  -   for  their  houses  - ceilings  and  stairways  of  silver  upon  which  to  mount
Sahih International
And  for  their  houses  -   doors  and  couches  [of  silver]  upon  which  to  recline
Sahih International
And  gold  ornament.  But  all  that  is  not  but  the  enjoyment  of  worldly  life.  And  the Hereafter  with  your  Lord  is  for  the  righteous.
Sahih International
And  whoever  is  blinded  from  remembrance  of  the  Most  Merciful  -   We  appoint  for  him  a devil,  and  he  is  to  him  a  companion.
Sahih International
And  indeed,  the  devils  avert  them  from  the  way  [of  guidance]  while  they  think  that  they are  [rightly]  guided
Sahih International
Until,  when  he  comes  to  Us  [at  Judgement],  he  says  [to  his  companion],  "Oh,  I  wish there  was  between  me  and  you  the  distance  between  the  east  and  west  -   how  wretched a  companion."
Sahih International
And  never  will  it  benefit  you  that  Day,  when  you  have  wronged,  that  you  are  [all] sharing  in  the  punishment.
Sahih International
Then  will  you  make  the  deaf  hear,  [O  Muhammad],  or  guide  the  blind  or  he  who  is  in clear  error?
Sahih International
And  whether  [or  not]  We  take  you  away  [in  death],  indeed,  We  will  take  retribution  upon them.
Sahih International
Or  whether  [or  not]  We  show  you  that  which  We  have  promised  them,  indeed,  We  are Perfect  in  Ability.
Sahih International
So  adhere  to  that  which  is  revealed  to  you.  Indeed,  you  are  on  a  straight  path.
Sahih International
And  indeed,  it  is  a  remembrance  for  you  and  your  people,  and  you  [all]  are  going  to  be questioned.
Sahih International
And  ask  those  We  sent  before  you  of  Our  messengers;  have  We  made  besides  the  Most Merciful  deities  to  be  worshipped?
Sahih International
And  certainly  did  We  send  Moses  with  Our  signs  to  Pharaoh  and  his  establishment,  and he  said,  "Indeed,  I  am  the  messenger  of  the  Lord  of  the  worlds."
Sahih International
And  We  showed  them  not  a  sign  except  that  it  was  greater  than  its  sister,  and  We  seized them  with  affliction  that  perhaps  they  might  return  [to  faith].
Sahih International
And  they  said  [to  Moses],  "O  magician,  invoke  for  us  your  Lord  by  what  He  has promised  you.  Indeed,  we  will  be  guided."
Sahih International
But  when  We  removed  from  them  the  affliction,  at  once  they  broke  their  word.
Sahih International
And  Pharaoh  called  out  among  his  people;  he  said,  "O  my  people,  does  not  the  kingdom of  Egypt  belong  to  me,  and  these  rivers  flowing  beneath  me;  then  do  you  not  see?
Sahih International
Or  am  I  [not]  better  than  this  one  who  is  insignificant  and  hardly  makes  himself  clear?
Sahih International
Then  why  have  there  not  been  placed  upon  him  bracelets  of  gold  or  come  with  him  the angels  in  conjunction?"
Sahih International
So  he  bluffed  his  people,  and  they  obeyed  him.  Indeed,  they  were  [themselves]  a  people defiantly  disobedient  [of Allah ].
Sahih International
And  when  they  angered  Us,  We  took  retribution  from  them  and  drowned  them  all.
Sahih International
And  when  the  son  of  Mary  was  presented  as  an  example,  immediately  your  people laughed  aloud.
Sahih International
And they said,  "Are our gods better, or is he?"  They did not present the comparison except for [mere] argument.  But, [in fact], they are a people prone to dispute.
Sahih International
Jesus  was  not  but  a  servant  upon  whom  We  bestowed  favor,  and  We  made  him  an example  for  the  Children  of  Israel.
