36:3You are one of the messengers.

36:5The revelation of the Almighty, the Merciful.

36:10It is the same for them, whether you warn them, or do not warn them—they will not believe.

36:11You warn only him who follows the Message, and fears the Most Gracious inwardly. So give him good news of forgiveness, and a generous reward.

36:13And cite for them the parable of the landlords of the town—when the messengers came to it.

36:14We sent them two messengers, but they denied them both, so We reinforced them with a third. They said, “We are messengers to you.”

36:16They said, “Our Lord knows that we are messengers to you.

36:18They said, “We see an evil omen in you; if you do not give up, we will stone you, and a painful punishment from us will befall you.”

36:19They said, “Your evil omen is upon you. Is it because you were reminded? But you are an extravagant people.”

36:20Then a man came running from the remotest part of the city. He said, “O my people, follow the messengers.

36:22“And why should I not worship Him Who created me, and to Whom you will be returned?

36:23Shall I take other gods instead of Him? If the Merciful desires harm for me, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor will they save me.

36:25I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me.”

36:27How my Lord has forgiven me, and made me one of the honored.”

36:30Alas for the servants. No messenger ever came to them, but they ridiculed him.

36:44Except by a mercy from Us, and enjoyment for a while.

36:45Yet when it is said to them, “Beware of what lies before you, and what lies behind you, that you may receive mercy.”

36:46Yet never came to them a sign of their Lord’s signs, but they turned away from it.

36:47And when it is said to them, “Spend of what God has provided for you,” those who disbelieve say to those who believe, “Shall we feed someone whom God could feed, if He so willed? You must be deeply misguided.”

36:52They will say, “Woe to us! Who resurrected us from our resting-place?” This is what the Most Gracious had promised, and the messengers have spoken the truth.”

36:58Peace—a saying from a Most Merciful Lord.

36:61And that you shall serve Me? This is a straight path.

36:68Whomever We grant old age, We reverse his development. Do they not understand?

36:72And We subdued them for them. Some they ride, and some they eat.

36:77Does the human being not consider that We created him from a seed? Yet he becomes a fierce adversary.

36:78And he produces arguments against Us, and he forgets his own creation. He says, “Who will revive the bones when they have decayed?”

36:81Is not He who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Certainly. He is the Supreme All-Knowing Creator.

36:82His command, when He wills a thing, is to say to it, “Be,” and it comes to be.
