SURA XLV.-THE KNEELING [LXXII.]
MECCA.-36 Verses
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
HA. MIM.1 This Book is sent down2 from God, the Mighty, the Wise!
Assuredly in the Heavens and the Earth are signs for those who believe:
And in your own creation, and in the beasts which are scattered abroad are signs to the firm in faith:
And in the succession of night and day, and in the supply which God sendeth down from the Heaven whereby He giveth life to the earth when dead, and in the change of the winds, are signs for a people of discernment.
Such are the signs of God: with truth do we recite them to thee. But in what teaching will they believe, if they reject3 God and his signs?
