43:2By the Book that makes things clear.

43:3We made it an Arabic Quran, so that you may understand.

43:9And if you asked them, “Who created the heavens and the earth?” They would say, “The Mighty, the Knower created them.”

43:10He who made the earth a habitat for you, and traced pathways for you on it, that you may be guided.

43:11He who sends down water from the sky in due proportion; and so We revive thereby a dead land. Thus you will be brought out.

43:12He Who created all the pairs; and provided you with ships, and animals on which you ride.

43:13That you may mount their backs, and remember the favor of your Lord as you sit firmly upon them, and say, “Glory be to Him Who placed these at our service; surely we could not have done it by ourselves.

43:15Yet they turn one of His servants into a part of Him. Man is clearly ungrateful.

43:16Or has He chosen for Himself daughters from what He creates, and favored you with sons?

43:17Yet when one of them is given news of what he attributes to the Most Gracious, his face darkens, and he suppresses grief.

43:19And they appoint the angels, who are servants to the Most Gracious, as females. Have they witnessed their creation? Their claim will be recorded, and they will be questioned.

43:20And they say, “Had the Most Gracious willed, we would not have worshiped them.” But they have no knowledge of that; they are merely guessing.

43:24He would say, “Even if I bring you better guidance than what you found your parents following?” They would say, “We reject what you are sent with.”

43:25So We wreaked vengeance upon them. Behold, then, what was the fate of those who deny.

43:26When Abraham said to his father and his people, “I am innocent of what you worship.

43:27Except for He who created me, for He will guide me.”

43:28And he made it an enduring word in his progeny, so that they may return.

43:29I gave these and their forefathers some enjoyment, until the truth and a manifest messenger came to them.

43:32Is it they who allocate the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have allocated their livelihood in this life, and We elevated some of them in rank above others, that some of them would take others in service. But your Lord’s mercy is better than what they amass.

43:33Were it not that humanity would become a single community, We would have provided those who disbelieve in the Most Gracious with roofs of silver to their houses, and stairways by which they ascend.

43:35And decorations. Yet all that is nothing but the stuff of this life. Yet the Hereafter, with your Lord, is for the righteous.

43:37They hinder them from the path, though they think they are guided.

43:38Until, when He comes to Us, he will say, “If only there were between me and you the distance of the two Easts.” What an evil companion!

43:39It will not benefit you on that Day, since you did wrong. You are partners in the suffering.

43:42Or show you what We have promised them; for We have absolute power over them.

43:43So adhere to what is revealed to you. You are upon a straight path.

43:46We sent Moses with Our revelations to Pharaoh and his dignitaries. He said, “I am the Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds.”

43:47But when he showed them Our signs, they started laughing at them.

43:48Each sign We showed them was more marvelous than its counterpart. And We afflicted them with the plagues, so that they may repent.

43:50But when We lifted the torment from them, they immediately broke their promise.

43:51Pharaoh proclaimed among his people, saying, “O my people, do I not own the Kingdom of Egypt, and these rivers flow beneath me? Do you not see?

43:55And when they provoked Our wrath, We took retribution from them, and We drowned them all.

43:62And let not Satan divert you. He is an open enemy to you.

43:63When Jesus came with the clarifications, he said, “I have come to you with wisdom, and to clarify for you some of what you differ about. So fear God, and obey me.

43:64God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him—this is a straight path.”

43:67On that Day, friends will be enemies of one another, except for the righteous.

43:68O My servants, you have nothing to fear on that Day, nor will you grieve.

43:69Those who believed in Our revelations, and were submissive.

43:71They will be served around with trays of gold, and cups. Therein is whatever the souls desire and delights the eyes. Therein you will stay forever.

43:72Such is the Garden you are made to inherit, because of what you used to do.

43:73Therein you will have abundant fruit, from which you eat.

43:75It will never be eased for them. In it, they will be devastated.

43:78We have given you the truth, but most of you hate the truth.

43:80Or do they think that We cannot hear their secrets and their conspiracies? Yes indeed, Our messengers are by them, writing down.

43:82Glorified be the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne, beyond what they describe.

43:85And blessed is He Who has sovereignty over the heavens and the earth and what is between them. He alone has knowledge of the Hour, and to Him you will be returned.

43:87And if you asked them, “Who created them?”, they would say, “God.” Why then do they deviate?

43:88As for his statement: “My Lord, these are a people who do not believe.”
