The Majestic Quran

8 Evil deeds look attractive to some people, so they like them. God allows some people to go astray, and He guides others as He pleases; so don’t be overcome by pity and regret over them. God knows what they do. N 9 God sends winds that move the clouds, which We drive towards dead regions, and We revive dead land with rain . The Resurrection will be like that. 10 Anyone seeking power should know, all power belongs to God, an eloquently pure speech rises up to Him, and He elevates all good deed s 2 . However, those who plot evil, theirs will be a severe punishment. Their plot will fail. 11 God created you from dust, then from a drop of semen , then He made you into pairs, male and female . No female becomes pregnant or gives birth without His knowledge, no one grows old, or has their life cut short but is written in a celestial Book. All that is easy for God. S , 12 Take two bodies of water, they are not the same: one fresh, sweet and pleasant to drink, the other is salty and bitter; from these waters , you eat the tender flesh of fish , and extract pearls to wear. Similarly, you see ships ploughing through the sea to seek a share of His bounty, and maybe you will appreciate God . 13 He merges night into day and day into night and has caused both the sun and the moon to travel through the sky for a fixed period. That’s God, your Lord, all power belongs to Him; those you call beside Him don’t possess even the tiniest amount . 3 14 If you call them they don’t hear your call, and even if they were to hear they can’t answer you; and on Judgement Day, your idols will reject your association of partners with God . So, messenger , no one can enlighten you with truth like the All- Aware. T J D 15 People, you need God, and God is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy. 16 If He wanted He could get rid of you and bring about a new creation; 17 that wouldn’t be too difficult for God. 18 No one will bear another’s burden. If a person with a heavy load were to cry out for help , no one – not even a close relative – would accept it. Those you can warn are fearful of their Lord without seeing Him, and they perform the prayer regularly. Anyone who purifies himself, does for his own good; and to God is the final return.
