[35:19]

The blind man is not equal with the seer;

[35:20]

Nor is darkness (tantamount to) light;

[35:21]

Nor is the shadow equal with the sun’s full heat;

[35:22]

Nor are the living equal with the dead. Lo! Allah maketh whom He will to hear. Thou canst not reach those who are in the graves.

[35:23]

Thou art but a warner.

[35:24]

Lo! We have sent thee with the Truth, a bearer of glad tidings and a warner; and there is not a nation but a warner hath passed among them.

[35:25]

And if they deny thee, those before them also denied. Their messengers came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty), and with the Psalms and the Scripture giving light.

[35:26]

Then seized I those who disbelieved, and how intense was My abhorrence!

[35:27]

Hast thou not seen that Allah causeth water to fall from the sky, and We produce therewith fruit of divers hues; and among the hills are streaks white and red, of divers hues, and (others) raven-black;

[35:28]

And of men and beasts and cattle, in like manner, divers hues ? The erudite among His bondmen fear Allah alone. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Forgiving.

[35:29]

Lo! those who read the Scripture of Allah, and establish worship, and spend of that which We have bestowed on them secretly and openly, they look forward to imperishable gain,

[35:30]

That He will pay them their wages and increase them of His grace. Lo! He is Forgiving, Responsive.
