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.

16:7And they carry your loads to territory you could not have reached without great hardship. Your Lord is Clement and Merciful.

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.

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

16:10It 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.

16:15And he cast mountains on the earth, lest it shifts with you; and rivers, and roads, so that you may be guided.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.”

16:30And 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.”

16:33Are 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.

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

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

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.

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

16:52To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth; and to Him obedience is due always. Do you, then, fear anyone other than God?

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

16:54But when He lifts the harm from you, some of you associate others with their Lord.

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.

16:63By 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.

16:66And there is a lesson for you in cattle: We give you a drink from their bellies, from between waste and blood, pure milk, refreshing to the drinkers.

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.

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

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.

16:70God created you; then He takes you away. Some of you will be brought back to the worst age, so that he will no longer know anything, after having acquired knowledge. God is Omniscient and Omnipotent.

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?

16:72God has given you mates from among yourselves; and has produced for you, from your mates, children and grandchildren; and has provided you with good things. Will they then believe in falsehood, and refuse God’s favors?

16:74So do not cite the examples for God. God knows, and you do not know.

16:78God brought you out of your mothers’ wombs, not knowing anything; and He gave you the hearing, and the eyesight, and the brains; that you may give thanks.

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.

16:81And 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.

16:82But if they turn away, your only duty is clear communication.

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.”

16:89On 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.

16:90God commands justice, and goodness, and generosity towards relatives. And He forbids immorality, and injustice, and oppression. He advises you, so that you may take heed.

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.

16:92And 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.

16:94And do not use your oaths to deceive one another, so that a foot may not slip after being firm, and you taste misery because you hindered from God’s path, and incur a terrible torment.

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.

16:98When you read the Quran, seek refuge with God from Satan the outcast.

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.

16:102Say, “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.”

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

16:114Eat of the lawful and good things God has provided for you, and be thankful for God’s blessings, if it is Him that you serve.

16:115He has forbidden you carrion, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and anything consecrated to other than God. But if anyone is compelled by necessity, without being deliberate or malicious, then God 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.

16:123Then We inspired you: “Follow the religion of Abraham, the Monotheist. He was not an idol-worshiper.”

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.

16:126If you were to retaliate, retaliate to the same degree as the injury done to you. But if you resort to patience—it is better for the patient.

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