[24:44]

Allah causeth the revolution of the day and the night. Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for those who see.

[24:45]

Allah hath created every animal of water. Of them is (a kind) that goeth upon its belly and (a kind) that goeth upon two legs and (a kind) that goeth upon four. Allah createth what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.

[24:46]

Verily We have sent down revelations and explained them. Allah guideth whom He will unto a straight path.

[24:47]

And they say: We believe in Allah and the messenger, and we obey; then after that a faction of them turn away. Such are not believers.

[24:48]

And when they appeal unto Allah and His messenger to judge between them, lo! a faction of them are averse;

[24:49]

But if right had been with them they would have come unto him willingly.

[24:50]

Is there in their hearts a disease, or have they doubts, or fear they lest Allah and His messenger should wrong them in judgment ? Nay, but such are evil-doers.

[24:51]

The saying of (all true) believers when they appeal unto Allah and His messenger to judge between them is only that they say: We hear and we obey. And such are the successful.

[24:52]

He who obeyeth Allah and His messenger, and feareth Allah, and keepeth duty (unto Him): such indeed are the victorious.

[24:53]

They swear by Allah solemnly that, if thou order them, they will go forth. Say: Swear not; known obedience (is better). Lo! Allah is Informed of what ye do.
