013.002 Y:  Allah is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that ye can see; is firmly established on the throne (of authority); He has subjected the sun and the moon (to his Law)!  Each one runs (its course) for a term appointed.  He doth regulate all affairs, explaining the signs in detail, that ye may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord.

P:  Allah it is Who raised up the heavens without visible supports, then mounted the Throne, and compelled the sun and the moon to be of service, each runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course; He detaileth the revelations, that haply ye may be certain of the meeting with your Lord.

S:  Allah is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that you see, and He is firm in power and He made the sun and the moon subservient (to you); each one pursues its course to an appointed time; He regulates the affair, making clear the signs that you may be certain of meeting your Lord.

013.003 Y:  And it is He who spread out the earth, and set thereon mountains standing firm and (flowing) rivers:  and fruit of every kind He made in pairs, two and two:  He draweth the night as a veil o’er the Day.  Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who consider!

P:  And He it is Who spread out the earth and placed therein firm hills and flowing streams, and of all fruits He placed therein two spouses (male and female).  He covereth the night with the day.  Lo! herein verily are portents for people who take thought.

S:  And He it is Who spread the earth and made in it firm mountains and rivers, and of all fruits He has made in it two kinds; He makes the night cover the day; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect.

013.004 Y:  And in the earth are tracts (diverse though) neighbouring, and gardens of vines and fields sown with corn, and palm trees — growing out of single roots or otherwise:  watered with the same water, yet some of them We make more excellent than others to eat.  Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who understand!

P:  And in the Earth are neighbouring tracts, vineyards and ploughed lands, and date-palms, like and unlike, which are watered with one water.  And we have made some of them to excel others in fruit.  Lo! herein verily are portents for people who have sense.

S:  And in the earth there are tracts side by side and gardens of grapes and corn and palm trees having one root and (others) having distinct roots—­ they are watered with one water, and We make some of them excel others in fruit; most surely there are signs in this for a people who understand.

013.005 Y:  If thou dost marvel (at their want of faith), strange is their saying:  “When we are (actually) dust, shall we indeed then be in a creation renewed?” They are those who deny their Lord!  They are those round whose necks will be yokes (of servitude):  they will be Companions of the Fire, to dwell therein (for aye)!
