أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صَافَّاتٍ وَيَقْبِضْنَ ۚ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا الرَّحْمَٰنُ ۚ إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ بَصِيرٌ
19. Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.
أَمَّنْ هَٰذَا الَّذِي يَرْزُقُكُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهُ ۚ بَلْ لَجُّوا فِي عُتُوٍّ وَنُفُورٍ
21. Or who is it that could provide for you if He withheld His provision? But they have persisted in insolence and aversion.
أَفَمَنْ يَمْشِي مُكِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِ أَهْدَىٰ أَمَّنْ يَمْشِي سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ
22. Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?
قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ ۖ قَلِيلًا مَا تَشْكُرُونَ
23. Say, "It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful."
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا الْوَعْدُ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
25. And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"
ن ۚ وَالْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ
1. Nun. By the pen and what they inscribe,
وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَهِينٍ
10. And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer
هَمَّازٍ مَشَّاءٍ بِنَمِيمٍ
11. [And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -
مَنَّاعٍ لِلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
12. A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,
عُتُلٍّ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ زَنِيمٍ
13. Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.
