[ar-Ra`d 13:3] 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.
[ar-Ra`d 13:4] 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.
[ar-Ra`d 13:5.24] And if thou wonderest, then wondrous is their saying:
When we are dust, are we then forsooth (to be raised) in a
new creation ? Such are they who disbelieve in their Lord; such have carcans
on their necks; such are rightful owners of the Fire,
they will abide therein.
[ar-Ra`d 13:6] And they bid thee hasten on the evil rather than the good,
when exemplary punishments have indeed occurred before
them. But lo! thy Lord is rich in pardon for mankind despite their wrong, and
lo! thy Lord is strong in punishment.
[ar-Ra`d 13:7] Those who disbelieve say: If only some portent were sent
down upon him from his Lord! Thou art a warner only, and for
every folk a guide.
