027.062 Or, Who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him, and Who relieves its suffering, and makes you
(mankind) inheritors of the earth? (Can there be another) god besides God? Little it is that ye heed!
027.063 Or, Who guides you through the depths of darkness on land and sea, and Who sends the winds as heralds of
glad tidings, going before His Mercy? (Can there be another) god besides God?- High is God above what they associate
with Him!
027.064 Or, Who originates creation, then repeats it, and who gives you sustenance from heaven and earth? (Can there
be another) god besides God? Say, "Bring forth your argument, if ye are telling the truth!"
027.065 Say: None in the heavens or on earth, except God, knows what is hidden: nor can they perceive when they shall
be raised up (for Judgment).
027.066 Still less can their knowledge comprehend the Hereafter: Nay, they are in doubt and uncertainty thereanent;
nay, they are blind thereunto!
027.067 The Unbelievers say: "What! when we become dust,- we and our fathers,- shall we really be raised (from the
dead)?
027.068 "It is true we were promised this,- we and our fathers before (us): these are nothing but tales of the ancients."
027.069 Say: "Go ye through the earth and see what has been the end of those guilty (of sin)."
027.070 But grieve not over them, nor distress thyself because of their plots.
027.071 They also say: "When will this promise (come to pass)? (Say) if ye are truthful."
027.072 Say: "It may be that some of the events which ye wish to hasten on may be (close) in your pursuit!"
027.073 But verily thy Lord is full of grace to mankind: Yet most of them are ungrateful.
027.074 And verily thy Lord knoweth all that their hearts do hide. As well as all that they reveal.
027.075 Nor is there aught of the unseen, in heaven or earth, but is (recorded) in a clear record.
027.076 Verily this Qur'an doth explain to the Children of Israel most of the matters in which they disagree.
027.077 And it certainly is a Guide and a Mercy to those who believe.
027.078 Verily thy Lord will decide between them by His Decree: and He is Exalted in Might, All-Knowing.
027.079 So put thy trust in God: for thou art on (the path of) manifest Truth.
027.080 Truly thou canst not cause the dead to listen, nor canst thou cause the deaf to hear the call, (especially) when
they turn back in retreat.
027.081 Nor canst thou be a guide to the blind, (to prevent them) from straying: only those wilt thou get to listen who
believe in Our Signs, and they will bow in Islam.
027.082 And when the Word is fulfilled against them (the unjust), we shall produce from the earth a beast to (face)
them: He will speak to them, for that mankind did not believe with assurance in Our Signs.
027.083 One day We shall gather together from every people a troop of those who reject our Signs, and they shall be
kept in ranks,-
027.084 Until, when they come (before the Judgment-seat), (God) will say: "Did ye reject My Signs, though ye
comprehended them not in knowledge, or what was it ye did?"
027.085 And the Word will be fulfilled against them, because of their wrong-doing, and they will be unable to speak
(in plea).
027.086 See they not that We have made the Night for them to rest in and the Day to give them light? Verily in this
are Signs for any people that believe!
027.087 And the Day that the Trumpet will be sounded - then will be smitten with terror those who are in the heavens,
and those who are on earth, except such as God will please (to exempt): and all shall come to His (Presence) as beings
conscious of their lowliness.
027.088 Thou seest the mountains and thinkest them firmly fixed: but they shall pass away as the clouds pass away:
(such is) the artistry of God, who disposes of all things in perfect order: for he is well acquainted with all that ye do.
027.089 If any do good, good will (accrue) to them therefrom; and they will be secure from terror that Day.
027.090 And if any do evil, their faces will be thrown headlong into the Fire: "Do ye receive a reward other than that
which ye have earned by your deeds?"
027.091 For me, I have been commanded to serve the Lord of this city, Him Who has sanctified it and to Whom
(belong) all things: and I am commanded to be of those who bow in Islam to God's Will,-
