23:7But whoever seeks anything beyond that—these are the transgressors.

23:12We created man from an extract of clay.

23:14Then We developed the seed into a clot. Then We developed the clot into a lump. Then We developed the lump into bones. Then We clothed the bones with flesh. Then We produced it into another creature. Most Blessed is God, the Best of Creators.

23:15Then, after that, you will die.

23:17We created above you seven pathways, and We are never heedless of the creation.

23:18And We sent down water from the sky in proper quantity, and settled it in the ground, and We are Able to take it away.

23:19With it We produce for you gardens of palms and vines, yielding abundant fruit for you to eat.

23:20And a tree springing out of Mount Sinai, producing oil, and seasoning for those who eat.

23:21And there is a lesson for you in livestock: We give you to drink from what is in their bellies, and you have many benefits in them, and from them you eat.

23:24But the notables of his people, who disbelieved, said, “This is nothing but a human like you, who wants to gain superiority over you. Had God willed, He would have sent down angels. We never heard of this from our forefathers of old.

23:27So We inspired him: “Build the Ark under Our observation and by Our inspiration. And when Our decree comes to pass, and the oven boils over, load into it two pairs of every kind, together with your family, except those of them against whom the word has already been pronounced. And do not speak to me concerning those who did wrong; for they are to be drowned.”

23:30Surely in that are signs. We are always testing.

23:31Then, after them, We established another generation.

23:33But the dignitaries of his people, those who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, and We had indulged them in the present life, said, “This is nothing but a human like you; he eats what you eat, and he drinks what you drink.

23:35Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones, you will be brought out?

23:36Farfetched, farfetched is what you are promised.

23:42Then, after them, We raised other generations.

23:43No nation can advance its time, nor can they postpone it.

23:49And We gave Moses the Scripture, that they may be guided.

23:51O messengers, eat of the good things, and act with integrity. I am aware of what you do.

23:52This nation of yours is one nation, and I am your Lord, so fear Me.

23:53But they tore themselves into sects; each party happy with what they have.

23:55Do they assume that, in furnishing them with wealth and children.

23:59And those who associate no partners with their Lord.

23:60And those who give what they give, while their hearts quake, knowing that to their Lord they will return.

23:62We never burden any soul beyond its capacity. And with Us is a record that tells the truth, and they will not be wronged.

23:63But their hearts are puzzled because of this; and they have deeds that do not conform to this, which they continue to perpetrate.

23:68Have they not pondered the Word? Or has there come to them what came not to their forefathers of old?

23:69Or is it that they did not recognize their messenger, so they are denying him?

23:70Or do they say, “He is possessed?” In fact, he brought them the truth, but most of them hate the truth.

23:73You are inviting them to a straight path.

23:74But those who do not believe in the Hereafter are swerving from the path.

23:77Until, when We have opened before them a gate of intense agony, at once they will despair.

23:78It is He who produced for you the hearing, and the eyesight, and the feelings. But little gratitude you show.

23:79And it is He who multiplied you on earth, and to Him you will be gathered.

23:80And it is He who gives life and brings death, and to Him is the alternation of night and day. Do you not understand?

23:81But they say the like of what the ancients said.

23:91God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe.

23:92The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate.

23:93Say, “My Lord, if You would show me what they are promised.

23:95We are surely Able to show you what We promise them.

23:96Repel evil by what is better. We are aware of what they describe.

23:99Until, when death comes to one of them, he says, “My Lord, send me back.

23:100That I may do right in what I have neglected.” By no means! It is just a word that he utters. And behind them is a barrier, until the Day they are resurrected.

23:101When the Horn is blown, no relations between them will exist on that Day, and they will not ask after one another.

23:105“Were not My revelations recited to you, and you kept on rejecting them?”

23:110But you made then a target of ridicule, until they made you forget My remembrance; and you used to laugh at them.

23:115Did you think that We created you in vain, and that to Us you will not be returned?”
