S:  And if Allah had destroyed men for their iniquity, He would not leave on the earth a single creature, but He respites them till an appointed time; so when their doom will come they shall not be able to delay (it) an hour nor can they bring (it) on (before its time).

016.062 Y:  They attribute to Allah what they hate (for themselves), and their tongues assert the falsehood that all good things are for themselves:  without doubt for them is the Fire, and they will be the first to be hastened on into it!

P:  And they assign unto Allah that which they (themselves) dislike, and their tongues expound the lie that the better portion will be theirs.  Assuredly theirs will be the Fire, and they will be abandoned.

S:  And they ascribe to Allah what they (themselves) hate and their tongues relate the lie that they shall have the good; there is no avoiding it that for them is the fire and that they shall be sent before.

016.063 Y:  By Allah, We (also) sent (Our messengers) to Peoples before thee; but Satan made, (to the wicked), their own acts seem alluring:  He is also their patron today, but they shall have a most grievous penalty.

P:  By Allah, We verily sent messengers unto the nations before thee, but the devil made their deeds fairseeming unto them.  So he is their patron this day, and theirs will be a painful doom.

S:  By Allah, most certainly We sent (messengers) to nations before you, but the Shaitan made their deeds fair-seeming to them, so he is their guardian today, and they shall have a painful punishment.

016.064 Y:  And We sent down the Book to thee for the express purpose, that thou shouldst make clear to them those things in which they differ, and that it should be a guide and a mercy to those who believe.

P:  And We have revealed the Scripture unto thee only that thou mayst explain unto them that wherein they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe.

S:  And We have not revealed to you the Book except that you may make clear to them that about which they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe.

016.065 Y:  And Allah sends down rain from the skies, and gives therewith life to the earth after its death:  verily in this is a Sign for those who listen.

P:  Allah sendeth down water from the sky and therewith reviveth the earth after her death.  Lo! herein is indeed a portent for a folk who hear.

S:  And Allah has sent down water from the cloud and therewith given life to the earth after its death; most surely there is a sign in this for a people who would listen.

016.066 Y:  And verily in cattle (too) will ye find an instructive sign.  From what is within their bodies between excretions and blood, We produce, for your drink, milk, pure and agreeable to those who drink it.

P:  And lo! in the cattle there is a lesson for you.  We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from betwixt the refuse and the blood, pure milk palatable to the drinkers.
