And for them there are (other) benefits in them and things to drink. So, would they not be grateful?

They have adopted gods other than Allah, so that they may be helped (by them).

They cannot help them, rather they (the disbelievers themselves) are (like) an army brought forth for (protecting) them (the so-called co-gods)

So, their remarks must not grieve you. Surely We know what they conceal and what they disclose.

Did man not see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Then suddenly he stood as an open adversary (to Us).

He has set up an argument about Us and forgot his creation. He said, “Who will give life to the bones when they are decayed?”

Say, “These will be revived by the same One who had created them for the first time, and who is fully aware of every creation,

- the One who created for you fire from the green tree, and in no time you kindle from it.”

Is it that the One who has created the heavens and the earth has no power to create ones like them? Why not? He is the Supreme Creator, the All-Knowing.

His practice, when He intends to do something, is no more than He says, “Be”, and it comes to be.

So, pure (from every fault) is the One in whose hand is the dominion of all things. And towards Him you are to be returned.
