Say (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): Travel in the land, and see the nature of the consequence for those who were before you! Most of them were idolaters

So set thy purpose resolutely for the right religion, before the inevitable day cometh from Allah. On that day mankind will be sundered

Whoso disbelieveth must (then) bear the consequences of his disbelief, while those who do right make provision for themselves

That He may reward out of His bounty those who believe and do good works. Lo! He loveth not the disbelievers (in His guidance)

And of His signs is this: He sendeth herald winds to make you taste His mercy, and that the ships may sail at His command, and that ye may seek his favour, and that haply ye may be thankful

Verily We sent before thee (Muhammad) messengers to their own folk. Then we took vengeance upon those who were guilty (in regard to them). To help believers is ever incumbent upon Us

Allah is He Who sendeth the winds so that they raise clouds, and spreadeth them along the sky as pleaseth Him, and causeth them to break and thou seest the rain downpouring from within them. And when He maketh it to fall on whom He will of His bondmen, lo! they rejoice

Though before that, even before it was sent down upon them, they were in despair

Look, therefore, at the prints of Allah's mercy (in creation): how He quickeneth the earth after her death. Lo! He verily is the Quickener of the Dead, and He is Able to do all things
