Or deemest thou that most of them hear or understand? They are but as the cattle - nay, but they are farther astray

Hast thou not seen how thy Lord hath spread the shade - And if He willed He could have made it still - then We have made the sun its pilot

Then We withdraw it unto Us, a gradual withdrawal

And He it is Who maketh night a covering for you, and sleep repose, and maketh day a resurrection

And He it is Who sendeth the winds, glad tidings heralding His mercy, and We send down purifying water from the sky

That We may give life thereby to a dead land, and We give many beasts and men that We have created to drink thereof

And verily We have repeated it among them that they may remember, but most of mankind begrudge aught save ingratitude

If We willed, We could raise up a warner in every village

So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them herewith with a great endeavour

And He it is Who hath given independence to the two seas (though they meet); one palatable, sweet, and the other saltish, bitter; and hath set a bar and a forbidding ban between them

And He it is Who hath created man from water, and hath appointed for him kindred by blood and kindred by marriage; for thy Lord is ever Powerful

Yet they worship instead of Allah that which can neither benefit them nor hurt them. The disbeliever was ever a partisan against his Lord
