[39:6]
He created you from one being, then from that
(being) He made its mate; and He hath provided for you of cattle eight kinds.
He created you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, in a
threefold gloom. Such is Allah, your Lord. His is the Sovereignty. There is no
God save Him. How then are ye turned away ?
[39:7]
If ye are thankless, yet Allah is Independent of
you, though He is not pleased with thanklessness for His bondmen; and if ye are
thankful He is pleased therewith for you. No laden soul will bear another’s
load. Then unto your Lord is your return; and He will tell you what ye used to
do. Lo! He knoweth what is in the breasts (of men).
[39:8]
And when some hurt toucheth man, he crieth unto
his Lord, turning unto Him (repentant). Then, when He granteth him a boon from
Him he forgetteth that for which he cried unto Him before, and setteth up
rivals to Allah that he may beguile (men) from his way. Say (O Muhammad, unto
such an one): Take pleasure in thy disbelief a while.
Lo! thou art of the owners of the Fire.
[39:9]
Is he who payeth adoration in the watches of the
night, prostrate and standing, bewaring of the Hereafter and hoping for the
mercy of his Lord, (to be accounted equal with a disbeliever) ? Say (unto them,
O Muhammad): Are those who know equal with those who know not
? But only men of understanding will pay heed.
[39:10]
Say: O My bondmen who
believe! Observe your duty to your Lord. For those who do good in this world
there is good, and Allah’s earth is spacious. Verily the steadfast will be paid
their wages without stint.
