But as for those who shall not have believed, but treated our signs and the meeting of the next life as lies, they shall be given over to the torment.

Glorify God therefore when ye reach the evening, and when ye rise at morn: 

And to Him be praise in the Heavens and on the Earth; and at twilight, and when ye rest at noon.

He bringeth forth the living out of the dead, and He bringeth forth the dead out of the living:  and He quickeneth the earth when dead.  Thus is it that ye too shall be brought forth.5

And one of his signs it is that He hath created you out of dust; then lo! ye become men who spread themselves far and wide: 

And one of his signs it is, that He hath created wives for you of your own species,6 that ye may dwell with them, and hath put love and tenderness between you.  Herein truly are signs for those who reflect.

And among his signs are the creation of the Heavens and of the Earth, and your variety of tongues and colour.  Herein truly are signs for all men.

And of his signs are your sleep by night and by day, and your goings in quest of his bounties.  Herein truly are signs to those who hearken.

And of his signs are, that He sheweth you the lightning, a source of awe and hope; and that He sendeth down rain from the heaven and giveth life by it to the earth when dead.  Herein truly are signs to those who understand.

And of his signs also one is that the Heaven and the Earth stand firm at his bidding:  hereafter, when with one summons He shall summon you out of the earth,-lo! forth shall ye come.

His, whatsoever is in the Heavens and on the Earth:  all are obedient to him.

And He it is who bringeth a creature forth, then causeth it to return again; and to him is this most easy.  To whatever is loftiest in heaven and earth is He to be likened; and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

He setteth forth to you an instance drawn from yourselves.  Have ye among the slaves whom your right hands have won, any partner in what we have bestowed on you, so that ye share alike?  Fear ye them as ye fear each other? (Thus make we our signs clear to men of understanding.)

No, ye do not.  But the wicked, devoid of knowledge, follow their own desires:7 and those whom God shall mislead, who shall guide, and who shall be their protector?

Set thou thy face then, as a true convert,8 towards the Faith which God hath made, and for which He hath made man.  No change is there in the creation of God.  This is the right Faith, but the greater part of men know it not.

And be ye turned to Him, and fear Him, and observe prayer, and be not of those who unite gods with God: 

Of those who have split up their religion, and have become sects, where every party rejoices in what is their own.9

When some evil toucheth men, they turn to their Lord and call upon him:  then when he hath made them taste his mercy, lo, a part of them join other gods with their Lord,
