Verses

Bis-millahi ar-rahman, ar-raheem.
In the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful.

It is He Who has made the earth subservient to you, to walk through its tracts and eat of His provided sustenance. To Him is the return at resurrection.[15] Do you feel secure that He Who is in heaven, will not cause the earth to cave in beneath you and start shaking suddenly?[16] Or do you feel secure that He Who is in heaven will not send against you a violent tornado, then you shall know how was My warning![17] Those who have gone before them likewise disbelieved, then see how terrible was the way I rejected them?[18] Do they not observe the birds above them spreading their wings and folding them? None could hold them except the Compassionate (Allah), surely it is He Who watches over all things.[19] What force is there that can help you besides the Compassionate? In fact, the unbelievers are suffering from delusion.[20] Or who is there that can provide you if He withholds His provision? Yet, they persist in rebellion and aversion from the truth.[21] Just think, who is rightly guided: he who walks with his face bent down, or he who walks properly on an even path?[22] Say: “It is He Who has brought you into being, gave you the faculties of hearing, seeing, feeling and understanding: yet you are seldom thankful.”[23] Say: “It is He Who has multiplied you in the earth, and before Him you shall all be assembled.”[24] They ask: “When will this promise be fulfilled, if what you say is true?”[25] Tell them: “Allah Alone has the knowledge of that; my mission is only to warn you plainly.”[26] But, when they shall see it close at hand, the faces of the disbelievers will turn black with gloom, and it will be said to them: “This is which you were calling for.”[27] Further say: “Have you ever considered that even if Allah destroys me as well as those with me or bestows His mercy on us; who will save the disbelievers from a painful punishment?”[28] Say: “He is the Compassionate: in Him we have believed, and in Him we have put our trust. Soon you will find out, which one of us is in the manifest error.”[29] Say: “Have you ever considered that if all the water you have, sink down in the ground, who is it, that will bring you the clear-flowing water?”[30] 67:[15-30]

Ameen.
