41. Corruption doth appear on land and sea because of (the evil) which men's hands have done, that He may make them
taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return.
42. Say (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): Travel in the land, and see the nature of the consequence for those who
were before you! Most of them were idolaters.
43. So set thy purpose resolutely for the right religion, before the inevitable day cometh from Allah. On that day
mankind will be sundered
44. Whoso disbelieveth must (then) bear the consequences of his disbelief, while those who do right make provision
for themselves
45. That He may reward out of His bounty those who believe and do good works. Lo! He loveth not the disbelievers
(in His guidance).
46. And of His signs is this: He sendeth herald winds to make you taste His mercy, and that the ships may sail at His
command, and that ye may seek His favour, and that haply ye may be thankful.
47. Verily We sent before thee (Muhammad) messengers to their own folk. They brought them clear proofs (of Allah's
Sovereignty). Then We took vengeance upon those who were guilty (in regard to them). To help believers is incumbent
upon Us.
48. Allah is He who sendeth the winds so that they raise clouds, and spreadeth them along the sky as pleaseth Him, and
causeth them to break and thou seest the rain downpouring from within them. And when He maketh it to fall on whom
He will of His bondmen, lo! they rejoice;
49. Though before that, even before it was sent down upon them, they were in despair.
50. Look, therefor, at the prints of Allah's mercy (in creation): how He quickeneth the earth after her death. Lo! He
verily is the Quickener of the Dead, and He is Able to do all things.
51. And if We sent a wind and they beheld it yellow; they verily would still continue in their disbelief.
52. For verily thou (Muhammad) canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call when
they have turned to flee.
53. Nor canst thou guide the blind out of their error. Thou canst make none to hear save those who believe in Our
revelations so that they surrender (unto Him).
54. Allah is He who shaped you out of weakness, then appointed after weakness strength, then, after strength, appointed
weakness and grey hair. He createth what He will. He is the Knower, the Mighty.
55. And on the day when the Hour riseth the guilty will vow that they did tarry but an hour thus were they ever deceived.
56. But those to whom knowledge and faith are given will say: The truth is, ye have tarried, by Allah's decree, until the
Day of Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection, but ye used not to know.
57. In that day their excuses will not profit those who did injustice, nor will they be allowed to make amends.
58. Verily We have coined for mankind in the Qur’an all kinds of similitudes; and indeed if thou comest unto them with
a miracle, those who disbelieve would verily exclaim: Ye are but tricksters!
59. Thus doth Allah seal the hearts of those who know not.
60. So have patience (O Muhammad)! Allah's promise is the very truth, and let not those who have no certainty make
thee impatient.
Surah 31. Luqman
1. Alif. Lam. Mim.
2. These are revelations of the wise Scripture,
3. A guidance and a mercy for the good,
4. Those who establish worship and pay the poor due and have sure faith in the Hereafter.
5. Such have guidance from their Lord. Such are the successful.
6. And of mankind is he who payeth for mere pastime of discourse, that he may mislead from Allah's way without
knowledge, and maketh it the butt of mockery. For such there is a shameful doom.
7. And when Our revelations are recited unto him he turneth away in his pride as if he heard them not, as if there were
a deafness in his ears. So give him tidings of a painful doom.
8. Lo! those who believe and do good works, for them are gardens of delight,
9. Wherein they will abide. It is a promise of Allah in truth. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
