And Who sends down water (rain) from the sky in due measure. then We revive a dead land therewith, and even so you will be brought forth (from the gaves), (11) And Who has created all the pairs and has appointed for you ships and cattle on which you ride; (12) In order that you may mount on their backs, and then may remember the Favour of your Lord when you mount thereon, and say: "Glory to Him who has subjected this to us, and we could never have it (by our efforts)." (13) And verily, to Our Lord we indeed are to return! (14) Yet they assign to some of His slaves a share with Him (by pretending that He has children, and considering them as equals or co-partners in worship with Him). Verily, man is indeed a manifest ingrate! (15) Or has He taken daughters out of what He has created, and He has selected for you sons? (16) And if one of them is informed of the news of (the birth of a girl) that which he set forth as a parable to the Most Gracious (Allâh) (i.e. of a girl), his face becomes dark, gloomy, and he is filled with grief! (17) (Like they then for Allâh) a creature who is brought up in adornments (wearing silk and gold ornaments, i.e. women), and who in dispute cannot make herself clear? (18) And they make the angels who themselves are slaves of the Most Gracious (Allâh) females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned! (19) And they said: "If it had been the Will of the Most Gracious (Allâh), we should not have worshipped them (false deities)." They have no knowledge whatsoever of that. They do nothing but lie! (20) Or have We given them any Book before this (the Qur'ân), to which they are holding fast? (21) Nay! They say: "We found our fathers following a certain way and religion, and we guide ourselves by their footsteps." (22)
