23:3Those who avoid nonsense.

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.

23:23We sent Noah to his people. He said, “O my people, worship God, you have no deity other than Him. Will you not take heed?”

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.

23:25He is nothing but a man possessed. Just ignore him for a while.”

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.”

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

23:32And We sent among them a messenger from themselves: “Serve God. You have no god other than Him. Will you not be cautious?”

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.

23:37There is nothing but our life in this world. We die, and we live, and we are not resurrected.

23:38He is nothing but a man, making up lies about God. We have no faith in him.”

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

23:44Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time a messenger came to his community, they called him a liar. So We made them follow one another, and made them history. So away with a people who do not believe.

23:46To Pharaoh and his nobles, but they turned arrogant. They were oppressive people.

23:56We race to give them the good things? In fact, they have no idea.

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.

23:65Do not groan today. You will receive no help from Us.

23:67Arrogant towards it—talked nonsense about it—disregarded it.

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?

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

23:76We have already gripped them with suffering, but they did not surrender to their Lord, nor did they humble themselves.

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?

23:83We were promised this before—we and our ancestors—these are nothing but legends of the ancients.”

23:84Say, “To whom does the earth belong, and everyone in it, if you happen to know?”

23:85They will say, “To God.” Say, “Will you not reflect?”

23:87They will say, “To God.” Say, “Will you not become righteous?”

23:88Say, “In whose hand is the dominion of all things, and He protects and cannot be protected from, if you happen to know?”

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.

23:94My Lord, do not place me among the wicked people.”

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?”

23:108He will say, “Be despised therein, and do not speak to Me.

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

23:116So Exalted is God, the Ruler, the Real. There is no god except He, the Lord of the Noble Throne.

23:117Whoever invokes another god besides God—he has no proof thereof—his reckoning rests with his Lord. The disbelievers will not succeed.
