[31:29]
Hast thou not seen how Allah causeth the night
to pass into the day and causeth the day to pass into the night, and hath
subdued the sun and the moon (to do their work), each running unto an appointed
term; and that Allah is Informed of what ye do ?
[31:30]
That (is so) because Allah, He is the True, and
that which they invoke beside Him is the False, and because Allah, He is the Sublime,
the Great.
[31:31]
Hast thou not seen how the ships glide on the
sea by Allah’s grace, that He may show you of His wonders ?
Lo! therein indeed are portents for every steadfast,
grateful (heart).
[31:32]
And if a wave enshroudeth them like awnings,
they cry unto Allah, making their faith pure for Him only. But when He bringeth
them safe to land, some of them compromise. None denieth Our
signs save every traitor ingrate.
[31:33]
O mankind! Keep your duty to your Lord and fear
a Day when the parent will not be able to avail the child in aught, nor the
child to avail the parent. Lo! Allah’s promise is the very truth. Let not the
life of the world beguile you, nor let the deceiver beguile you, in regard to
Allah.
[31:34]
Lo! Allah! With Him is knowledge of the Hour. He
sendeth down the rain, and knoweth that which is in the wombs. No soul knoweth
what it will earn to-morrow, and no soul knoweth in what land it will die. Lo!
Allah is Knower, Aware.
