16:1The command of God has come, so do not rush it. Glory be to Him; exalted above what they associate.

16:8And the horses, and the mules, and the donkeys—for you to ride, and for luxury. And He creates what you do not know.

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

16:19And God knows what you hide and what you disclose.

16:23Without a doubt, God knows what they conceal and what they reveal. He does not like the arrogant.

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.

16:28Those 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.”

16:30And 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.

16:31The Gardens of Perpetuity, which they will enter, beneath which rivers flow, where they will have whatever they desire. Thus God rewards 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.”

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

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.

16:44With 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.

16:48Have they not observed what God has created? Their shadows revolve from the right and the left, bowing to God as they shrink away.

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

16:53Whatever blessing you have is from God. And when harm touches you, it is to Him that you groan.

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.

16:62And 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.

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

16:68And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct.”

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

16:81And God has made for you shade out of what He has created, and has given you resorts in the mountains, and has given you garments to protect you from the heat, and garments to protect you from your violence. Thus He completes His blessings upon you, so that you may submit.

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

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.

16:93Had 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.

16:95And do not exchange God’s covenant for a small price. What is with God is better for you, if you only knew.

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.

16:101When 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.

16:111On the Day when every soul will come pleading for itself, and every soul will be paid in full for what it has done, and they will not be wronged.

16:112And God cites the example of a town that was secure and peaceful, with its livelihood coming to it abundantly from every direction. But then it turned unappreciative of God’s blessings, so God made it taste the robe of hunger and fear, because of what they used to craft.

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.
