He is Ever-living. There is no god but He. So worship Him making your submission exclusive for Him. All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.

Say, “I have been ordered not to worship those whom you invoke beside Allah when clear signs from my Lord have (already) come to me, and I have been ordered that I should submit to the Lord of the worlds.”

He is the One who created you from dust, then from a drop of semen, then from a clot. After that, He takes you out as an infant. Then, (He makes you grow) so that you reach your full maturity, and, thereafter, become old - and some of you die earlier - and so that you reach the appointed term, and so that you understand.

He is the One who gives life and brings death, and when He decides to do something, He only says to it: “Be” and it comes to be.

Have you not seen those who quarrel in Allah’s verses? From where are they being turned away (by their selfish desires?)

- those who rejected the Book and what We sent with Our messengers. So, they will soon come to know,

when shackles will be round their necks, and chains. They will be dragged

into the hot water after which they will be thrown into the Fire as a fuel.

Then, it will be said to them, “Where are those whom you used to associate (in worship)

beside Allah?” They will say, “They are lost to us, rather, we used to invoke nothing at all.” This is how Allah makes disbelievers get lost.

(It will be said to them,) “This is because you used to rejoice on the earth wrongfully, and because you used to show arrogance.

Enter the gates of Jahannam to live in it forever. So, how evil is the abode of the arrogant.

Therefore, be patient. Surely, Allah’s promise is true. Then, (O Prophet,) whether We show you (in your life) a part of the promise We are making to them, or make you die (before they are punished), in any case they have to be returned to Us.

We had sent messengers before you. Among them there are those whose history We have narrated to you, and of them there are those whose history We did not narrate to you. And it is not up to a messenger that he could come up with a sign without permission from Allah. So, when the command of Allah will come, matters will stand decided justly, and on that occasion all adherents of falsehood will turn into losers.

Allah is the One who made for you the cattle, so that you may ride some of them,- and of them you eat;

and for you there are (other) benefits in them- and so that, (by riding) on them, you meet any need you have in your hearts; and on them and on boats you are carried.
