16:5And the livestock—He created them for you. In them are warmth and benefits for you, and of them you eat.

16:6And there is beauty in them for you, when you bring them home, and when you drive them to pasture.

16:9It is for God to point out the paths, but some of them are flawed. Had He willed, He could have guided you all.

16:16And landmarks. And by the stars they guide themselves.

16:18And if you tried to enumerate the favors of God, you will not be able to count them. God is Forgiving and Merciful.

16:20Those they invoke besides God create nothing, but are themselves created.

16:24And when it is said to them, “What has your Lord sent down?” They say, “Legends of the ancients.”

16:25So let them carry their loads complete on the Day of Resurrection, and some of the loads of those they misguided without knowledge. Evil is what they carry.

16:26Those before them also schemed, but God took their structures from the foundations, and the roof caved in on them. The punishment came at them from where they did not perceive.

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.”

16:28Those wronging their souls while the angels are taking them away—they will propose peace: “We did no wrong.” Yes you did. God is aware of what you used to do.”

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.”

16:33Are they but waiting for the angels to come to them, or for the command of your Lord to arrive? Those before them did likewise. God did not wrong them, but they used to wrong their own souls.

16:34So the evils of their deeds assailed them, and what they used to ridicule engulfed them.

16:35The idolaters say, “Had God willed, we would not have worshiped anything besides Him, neither us, nor our ancestors, nor would we have prohibited anything besides His prohibitions.” Those before them did likewise. Are the messengers responsible for anything but clear communication?

16:36To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was.

16:39To clarify for them what they differed about, and for the faithless to know that they were liars.

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.

16:44With the clarifications and the scriptures. And We revealed to you the Reminder, that you may clarify to the people what was revealed to them, and that they may reflect.

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?

16:46Or that He will not seize them during their activities? And they will not be able to prevent it.

16:47Or that He will not seize them while in dread? Your Lord is Gentle and Merciful.

16:50They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded.

16:55To show ingratitude for what We have given them. Enjoy yourselves. You will soon know.

16:56And they allocate, to something they do not know, a share of what We have provided for them. By God, you will be questioned about what you have been inventing.

16:57And they attribute to God daughters—exalted is He—and for themselves what they desire.

16:58And when one of them is given news of a female infant, his face darkens, and he chokes with grief.

16:61If God were to hold mankind for their injustices, He would not leave upon it a single creature, but He postpones them until an appointed time. Then, when their time arrives, they will not delay it by one hour, nor will they advance it.

16:62And they attribute to God what they themselves dislike, while their tongues utter the lie that theirs is the goodness. Without a doubt, for them is the Fire, and they will be neglected.

16:63By God, We sent messengers to communities before you, but Satan made their deeds appear alluring to them. He is their master today, and they will have a painful punishment.

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

16:71God 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?

16:73And yet they serve besides God what possesses no provisions for them in the heavens, nor on earth, nor are they capable.

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.

16:80And God has given you in your homes habitats for you, and has provided for you out of the hides of livestock portable homes for you, so you can use them when you travel, and when you camp; and from their wool, and fur, and hair, furnishings and comfort for a while.

16:83They recognize God’s blessing, but then deny it, as most of them are ungrateful.

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.”

16:87On that Day they will offer their submission to God, and what they had invented will abandon them.

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.

16:91Fulfill God’s covenant when you make a covenant, and do not break your oaths after ratifying them. You have made God your guarantor, and God knows what you do.

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.

16:101When We substitute a verse in place of another verse—and God knows best what He reveals—they say, “You are an impostor.” But most of them do not know.

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

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.

16:113A messenger from among them had come to them, but they denounced him, so the punishment seized them in the midst of their wrongdoing.

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.

16:124The 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.

16:127So be patient. Your patience is solely from God. And do not grieve over them, and do not be stressed by their schemes.
