وَهُوَ الَّذي سَخَّرَ البَحرَ لِتَأكُلوا مِنهُ لَحمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَستَخرِجوا مِنهُ حِليَةً تَلبَسونَها وَتَرَى الفُلكَ مَواخِرَ فيهِ وَلِتَبتَغوا مِن فَضلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُم تَشكُرونَ

It is He who made the sea subservient for you, that you may eat from it tender meat and extract ornaments to wear. You see ships plowing through it, so you may seek His bounty and give thanks.

وَأَلقىٰ فِي الأَرضِ رَواسِيَ أَن تَميدَ بِكُم وَأَنهارًا وَسُبُلًا لَعَلَّكُم تَهتَدونَ

He set up mountains on the earth so it wouldn’t shake with you, and rivers and roads, so you may be guided.

وَعَلاماتٍ ۚ وَبِالنَّجمِ هُم يَهتَدونَ

And landmarks; and by the stars, they navigate.

أَفَمَن يَخلُقُ كَمَن لا يَخلُقُ ۗ أَفَلا تَذَكَّرونَ

Can He who creates be like the one who does not create? Will you not reflect?

وَإِن تَعُدّوا نِعمَةَ اللَّهِ لا تُحصوها ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

If you try to count God’s favors, you can never enumerate them. God is Forgiving and Merciful.

وَالَّذينَ يَدعونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ لا يَخلُقونَ شَيئًا وَهُم يُخلَقونَ

Those they call upon besides God create nothing, but are themselves created.

أَمواتٌ غَيرُ أَحياءٍ ۖ وَما يَشعُرونَ أَيّانَ يُبعَثونَ

They are dead, not alive, and they don’t perceive when they’ll be resurrected.

إِلـٰهُكُم إِلـٰهٌ واحِدٌ ۚ فَالَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِالآخِرَةِ قُلوبُهُم مُنكِرَةٌ وَهُم مُستَكبِرونَ

Your God is one God. As for those who don’t believe in the Hereafter—their hearts are denying, and they are arrogant.

لا جَرَمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعلَمُ ما يُسِرّونَ وَما يُعلِنونَ ۚ إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ المُستَكبِرينَ

God knows what they conceal and what they reveal. He doesn’t love the arrogant.

وَإِذا قيلَ لَهُم ماذا أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُم ۙ قالوا أَساطيرُ الأَوَّلينَ

When asked, “What did your Lord reveal?” They respond, “Myths of the ancients.”
