13:1Alif, Lam, Meem, Ra. These are the signs of the Scripture. What is revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, but most people do not believe.

13:8God knows what every female bears, and every increase and decrease of the wombs. With Him, everything is by measure.

13:11He has a succession; before him and behind him, protecting him by God’s command. God does not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves. And if God wills any hardship for a people, there is no turning it back;, and apart from Him they have no protector.

13:17He sends down water from the sky, and riverbeds flow according to their capacity. The current carries swelling froth. And from what they heat in fire of ornaments or utensils comes a similar froth. Thus God exemplifies truth and falsehood. As for the froth, it is swept away, but what benefits the people remains in the ground. Thus God presents the analogies.

13:19Is he who knows that what was revealed to your from your Lord is the truth, like him who is blind? Only those who reason will remember.

13:21And those who join what God has commanded to be joined, and fear their Lord, and dread the dire reckoning.

13:25As for those who violate the promise to God, after pledging to keep it, and sever what God has commanded to be joined, and spread corruption on earth—these, the curse will be upon them, and they will have the Worst Home.

13:30Thus We sent you among a community before which other communities have passed away, that you may recite to them what We revealed to you. Yet they deny the Benevolent One. Say, “He is my Lord; there is no god but He; in Him I trust, and to Him is my repentance.”

13:32Messengers before you were ridiculed, but I granted the disbelievers respite, and then I seized them. What a punishment it was!

13:36Those to whom We gave the Scripture rejoice in what was revealed to you, while some factions reject parts of it. Say, “I am commanded to worship God, and to never associate anything with Him. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return.”

13:39God abolishes whatever He wills, and He affirms. With Him is the source of the Scripture.

13:40Whether We show you some of what We have promised them, or We cause you to die—your duty is to inform, and Ours is the reckoning.

13:42Those before them planned, but the entire plan is up to God. He knows what every soul earns. Those who disbelieve will know to whom the Ultimate Home is.
