Then We take it to Ourselves, taking little by little.
And He it is Who made the night a covering for you, and sleed a rest, and He made the day to rise up again.

And He it is Who sends the winds as good news before His mercy; and We send down pure water from the cloud,

That We may give life thereby to a dead land and give it for drink, out of what We have created, to cattle and many people.

And certainly We have repeated this to them that they may be mindful, but the greater number of men do not consent to aught except denying.

And if We had pleased We would certainly have raised a warner in every town.

So do not follow the unbelievers, and strive against them a mighty striving with it.

And He it is Who has made two seas to flow freely, the one sweet that subdues thirst by its sweetness, and the other salt that burns by its saltness; and between the two He has made a barrier and inviolable obstruction.

And He it is Who has created man from the water, then He has made for him blood relationship and marriage relationship, and your Lord is powerful.

And they serve besides Allah that which neither profits them nor causes them harm; and the unbeliever is a partisan against his Lord.

And We have not sent you but as a giver of good news and as a warner.

Say: I do not ask you aught in return except that he who will, may take the way to his Lord.

And rely on the Ever-living Who dies not, and celebrate His praise; and Sufficient is He as being aware of the faults of His servants,

Who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six periods, and He is firmly established on the throne of authority; the Beneficent God, so ask respecting it one aware.



The Holy Qur'an 25:45-59, as interpreted by Maulana Muhammad Ali, 1917.
