What! shall He not know, who created? and He is the subtle, the well-aware!
It is He who hath made the earth smooth for you: so walk on its sides, and eat of what He hath provided—and unto Him shall be the resurrection.
Are ye sure that He who is in the Heaven will not make the earth sink with you? and behold, it shall quake!
Or are ye sure that He who is in the Heaven will not send against you a sand-storm,—so shall ye know about the warning!
And assuredly those who were before them called it a lie, and how was it with their denial?
Or do they not look up at the birds over their heads, flapping their wings? None supporteth them but the Merciful: verily He seeth all.
Who is it that will be a host for you, to defend you, if not the Merciful? verily the unbelievers are in naught but delusion!
Who is it that will provide for you, if He withhold His provision? Nay, they persist in pride and running away!
Is he, then, who goeth grovelling on his face better guided than he who goeth upright on a straight path?
Say: it is He who produced you and made you hearing and sight and heart—little are ye thankful!
