reject them, Behold! We shall entrust their charge to a new people who reject them not.
006.090 Those were the (prophets) who received God's guidance: Copy the guidance they received; Say: "No reward
for this do I ask of you: This is no less than a message for the nations."
006.091 No just estimate of God do they make when they say: "Nothing doth God send down to man (by way of
revelation)" Say: "Who then sent down the Book which Moses brought?- a light and guidance to man: But ye make it
into (separate) sheets for show, while ye conceal much (of its contents): therein were ye taught that which ye knew
not- neither ye nor your fathers." Say: "God (sent it down)": Then leave them to plunge in vain discourse and trifling.
006.092 And this is a Book which We have sent down, bringing blessings, and confirming (the revelations) which came
before it: that thou mayest warn the mother of cities and all around her. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe
in this (Book), and they are constant in guarding their prayers.
006.093 Who can be more wicked than one who inventeth a lie against God, or saith, "I have received inspiration," when
he hath received none, or (again) who saith, "I can reveal the like of what God hath revealed"? If thou couldst but see
how the wicked (do fare) in the flood of confusion at death! - the angels stretch forth their hands, (saying),"Yield up
your souls: this day shall ye receive your reward,- a penalty of shame, for that ye used to tell lies against God, and
scornfully to reject of His signs!"
006.094 "And behold! ye come to us bare and alone as We created you for the first time: ye have left behind you all
(the favours) which We bestowed on you: We see not with you your intercessors whom ye thought to be partners in
your affairs: so now all relations between you have been cut off, and your (pet) fancies have left you in the lurch!"
006.095 It is God Who causeth the seed-grain and the date-stone to split and sprout. He causeth the living to issue
from the dead, and He is the one to cause the dead to issue from the living. That is God: then how are ye deluded away
from the truth?
006.096 He it is that cleaveth the day-break (from the dark): He makes the night for rest and tranquillity, and the sun
and moon for the reckoning (of time): Such is the judgment and ordering of (Him), the Exalted in Power, the
Omniscient.
006.097 It is He Who maketh the stars (as beacons) for you, that ye may guide yourselves, with their help, through the
dark spaces of land and sea: We detail Our signs for people who know.
006.098 It is He Who hath produced you from a single person: here is a place of sojourn and a place of departure: We
detail Our signs for people who understand.
006.099 It is He Who sendeth down rain from the skies: with it We produce vegetation of all kinds: from some We
produce green (crops), out of which We produce grain, heaped up (at harvest); out of the date-palm and its sheaths (or
spathes) (come) clusters of dates hanging low and near: and (then there are) gardens of grapes, and olives, and
pomegranates, each similar (in kind) yet different (in variety): when they begin to bear fruit, feast your eyes with the
fruit and the ripeness thereof. Behold! in these things there are signs for people who believe.
006.100 Yet they make the Jinns equals with God, though God did create the Jinns; and they falsely, having no
knowledge, attribute to Him sons and daughters. Praise and glory be to Him! (for He is) above what they attribute to
Him!
006.101 To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: How can He have a son when He hath no
consort? He created all things, and He hath full knowledge of all things.
006.102 That is God, your Lord! there is no god but He, the Creator of all things: then worship ye Him: and He hath
power to dispose of all affairs.
006.103 No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision: He is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted
with all things.
006.104 "Now have come to you, from your Lord, proofs (to open your eyes): if any will see, it will be for (the good
of) his own soul; if any will be blind, it will be to his own (harm): I am not (here) to watch over your doings."
006.105 Thus do we explain the signs by various (symbols): that they may say, "Thou hast taught (us) diligently," and
that We may make the matter clear to those who know.
006.106 Follow what thou art taught by inspiration from thy Lord: there is no god but He: and turn aside from those
who join gods with God.
006.107 If it had been God's plan, they would not have taken false gods: but We made thee not one to watch over their
