030.012 On the Day that the Hour will be established, the guilty will be struck dumb with despair.
030.013 No intercessor will they have among their "Partners" and they will (themselves) reject their "Partners".
030.014 On the Day that the Hour will be established,- that Day shall (all men) be sorted out.
030.015 Then those who have believed and worked righteous deeds, shall be made happy in a Mead of Delight.
030.016 And those who have rejected Faith and falsely denied our Signs and the meeting of the Hereafter,- such shall
be brought forth to Punishment.
030.017 So (give) glory to God, when ye reach eventide and when ye rise in the morning;
030.018 Yea, to Him be praise, in the heavens and on earth; and in the late afternoon and when the day begins to
decline.
030.019 It is He Who brings out the living from the dead, and brings out the dead from the living, and Who gives life
to the earth after it is dead: and thus shall ye be brought out (from the dead).
030.020 Among His Signs in this, that He created you from dust; and then,- behold, ye are men scattered (far and
wide)!
030.021 And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in
tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who
reflect.
030.022 And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your
colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know.
030.023 And among His Signs is the sleep that ye take by night and by day, and the quest that ye (make for livelihood)
out of His Bounty: verily in that are signs for those who hearken.
030.024 And among His Signs, He shows you the lightning, by way both of fear and of hope, and He sends down rain
from the sky and with it gives life to the earth after it is dead: verily in that are Signs for those who are wise.
030.025 And among His Signs is this, that heaven and earth stand by His Command: then when He calls you, by a single
call, from the earth, behold, ye (straightway) come forth.
030.026 To Him belongs every being that is in the heavens and on earth: all are devoutly obedient to Him.
030.027 It is He Who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; and for Him it is most easy. To Him belongs
the loftiest similitude (we can think of) in the heavens and the earth: for He is Exalted in Might, full of wisdom.
030.028 He does propound to you a similitude from your own (experience): do ye have partners among those whom
your right hands possess, to share as equals in the wealth We have bestowed on you? Do ye fear them as ye fear each
other? Thus do we explain the Signs in detail to a people that understand.
030.029 Nay, the wrong-doers (merely) follow their own lusts, being devoid of knowledge. But who will guide those
whom God leaves astray? To them there will be no helpers.
030.030 So set thou thy face steadily and truly to the Faith: (establish) God's handiwork according to the pattern on
which He has made mankind: no change (let there be) in the work (wrought) by God: that is the standard Religion: but
most among mankind understand not.
030.031 Turn ye back in repentance to Him, and fear Him: establish regular prayers, and be not ye among those who
join gods with God,-
030.032 Those who split up their Religion, and become (mere) Sects,- each party rejoicing in that which is with itself!
030.033 When trouble touches men, they cry to their Lord, turning back to Him in repentance: but when He gives them
a taste of Mercy as from Himself, behold, some of them pay part-worship to other god's besides their Lord,-
030.034 (As if) to show their ingratitude for the (favours) We have bestowed on them! Then enjoy (your brief day);
but soon will ye know (your folly).
030.035 Or have We sent down authority to them, which points out to them the things to which they pay part-worship?
030.036 When We give men a taste of Mercy, they exult thereat: and when some evil afflicts them because of what
their (own) hands have sent forth, behold, they are in despair!
030.037 See they not that God enlarges the provision and restricts it, to whomsoever He pleases? Verily in that are
Signs for those who believe.
030.038 So give what is due to kindred, the needy, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek the Countenance,
of God, and it is they who will prosper.
