16:2He sends down the angels with the Spirit by His command, upon whom He wills of His servants: “Give warning that there is no god but Me, and fear Me.”

16:10It is He Who sends down for you from the sky water. From it is drink, and with it grows vegetation for grazing.

16:11And He produces for you grains with it, and olives, and date-palms, and grapes, and all kinds of fruits. Surely in that is a sign for people who think.

16:12And He regulated for you the night and the day; and the sun, and the moon, and the stars are disposed by His command. Surely in that are signs for people who ponder.

16:13And whatsoever He created for you on earth is of diverse colors. Surely in that is a sign for people who are mindful.

16:14And it is He who made the sea to serve you, that you may eat from it tender meat, and extract from it ornaments that you wear. And you see the ships plowing through it, as you seek His bounties, so that you may give thanks.

16:17Is He who creates like him who does not create? Will you not take a lesson?

16:22Your God is one God. As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts are in denial, and they are arrogant.

16:27Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will disgrace them, and say, “Where are My associates for whose sake you used to dispute?” Those who were given knowledge will say, “Today shame and misery are upon the disbelievers.”

16:30And it will be said to those who maintained piety, “What has your Lord revealed?” They will say, “Goodness.” To those who do good in this world is goodness, and the Home of the Hereafter is even better. How wonderful is the residence of the pious.

16:32Those who are in a wholesome state when the angels take them—will say, “Peace be upon you; enter Paradise, for what you used to do.”

16:37Even though you may be concerned about their guidance, God does not guide those who misguide. And they will have no saviors.

16:38And they swear by God with their most solemn oaths, “God will not resurrect anyone who dies.” Yes indeed, it is a promise binding on Him, but most people do not know.

16:41Those who emigrate for God’s sake after being persecuted, We will settle them in a good place in this world; but the reward of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.

16:42Those who endure patiently, and in their Lord they put their trust.

16:43We did not send before you except men whom We inspired. So ask the people of knowledge, if you do not know.

16:45Do those who scheme evils feel secure that God will not cause the earth to cave in with them, or that the punishment will not come upon them from where they do not perceive?

16:60Those who do not believe in the Hereafter set a bad example, while God sets the Highest Example. He is the Mighty, the Wise.

16:64We revealed to you the Scripture only to clarify for them what they differ about, and guidance and mercy for people who believe.

16:65God sends down water from the sky, with which He revives the earth after its death. In this is a sign for people who listen.

16:67And from the fruits of date-palms and grapevines, you derive sugar and wholesome food. In this is a sign for people who understand.

16:69Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people. Surely in this is a sign for people who reflect.

16:71God has favored some of you over others in livelihood. Those who are favored would not give their properties to their servants, to the extent of making them partners in it. Will they then renounce God’s blessings?

16:75God cites the example of a bonded slave, who has no power over anything; and someone to whom We have given plentiful provision, from which he gives secretly and openly. Are they equal in comparison? All praise belongs to God, but most of them do not know.

16:76And God cites the example of two men: one of them dumb, unable to do anything, and is a burden on his master; whichever way he directs him, he achieves nothing good. Is he equal to him who commands justice, and is on a straight path?

16:79Have they not seen the birds, flying in the midst of the sky? None sustains them except God. In this are signs for people who believe.

16:84On the Day when We raise up a witness from every community—those who disbelieved will not be permitted, nor will they be excused.

16:85When those who did wrong see the punishment, it will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved.

16:86And when the idolaters see their associates, they will say, “Our Lord, these are our associates whom we used to invoke besides You.” They will strike back at them with the saying, “Surely you are liars.”

16:88Those who disbelieve and obstruct from God’s path—We will add punishment to their punishment, on account of the mischief they used to make.

16:89On the Day when We raise in every community a witness against them, from among them, and bring you as a witness against these. We have revealed to you the Book, as an explanation of all things, and guidance, and mercy and good news for those who submit.

16:92And do not be like her who unravels her yarn, breaking it into pieces, after she has spun it strongly. Nor use your oaths as means of deception among you, because one community is more prosperous than another. God is testing you thereby. On the Day of Resurrection, He will make clear to you everything you had disputed about.

16:93Had God willed, He would have made you one congregation, but He leaves astray whom He wills, and He guides whom He wills. And you will surely be questioned about what you used to do.

16:96What you have runs out, but what is with God remains. We will reward those who are patient according to the best of their deeds.

16:97Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while being a believer, We will grant him a good life—and We will reward them according to the best of what they used to do.

16:99He has no authority over those who believe and trust in their Lord.

16:100His authority is only over those who follow him, and those who associate others with Him.

16:102Say, “The Holy Spirit has brought it down from your Lord, truthfully, in order to stabilize those who believe, and as guidance and good news for those who submit.”

16:103We are well aware that they say, “It is a human being who is teaching him.” But the tongue of him they allude to is foreign, while this is a clear Arabic tongue.

16:104Those who do not believe in God’s revelations—God will not guide them, and for them is a painful punishment.

16:105It is those who do not believe in God’s revelations who fabricate falsehood. These are the liars.

16:106Whoever renounces faith in God after having believed—except for someone who is compelled, while his heart rests securely in faith—but whoever willingly opens up his heart to disbelief—upon them falls wrath from God, and for them is a tremendous torment.

16:107That is because they have preferred the worldly life to the Hereafter, and because God does not guide the people who refuse.

16:108It is they whom God has sealed their hearts, and their hearing, and their sight. It is they who are the heedless.

16:110But then your Lord—for those who emigrated after being persecuted, then struggled and persevered—your Lord thereafter is Forgiving and Merciful.

16:116And do not say of falsehood asserted by your tongues, “This is lawful, and this is unlawful,” in order to invent lies and attribute them to God. Those who invent lies and attribute them to God will not succeed.

16:118For those who are Jews, We have prohibited what We related to you before. We did not wrong them, but they used to wrong their own selves.

16:119But towards those who do wrongs in ignorance, and then repent afterwards and reform, your Lord thereafter is Forgiving and Merciful.

16:124The Sabbath was decreed only for those who differed about it. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their differences.

16:125Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good advice, and debate with them in the most dignified manner. Your Lord is aware of those who stray from His path, and He is aware of those who are guided.

16:128God is with those who are righteous and those who are virtuous.
