Ar-Ra'd

What has been sent down to you is the truth, but most people do not believe. Allah raised the heavens without pillars you can see, set the sun and moon running for a term, spread out the earth with mountains, rivers and fruits in pairs, and made neighbouring gardens watered by the same water yet different in taste. The disbelievers ask, “When we are dust, will we really be created anew?” and demand a sign, but the Prophet ﷺ is only a warner, and every people has a guide. Allah knows what every womb carries and whatever is hidden or shown. Angels guard each person in succession, and Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. The thunder glorifies Him, and the angels too, in awe. Calling on others besides Him is like stretching your hands toward water that never reaches your mouth. Rain fills the valleys and the torrent carries foam; the foam passes away, but what benefits people stays in the earth: this is how Allah sets out truth and falsehood. People of understanding keep their covenant, join what Allah ordered to be joined, are patient, pray, give and repel evil with good; the angels will greet them in the Gardens of Eden from every gate: “Peace be upon you, for what you patiently endured.” Surely in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest. Messengers before were mocked too. Allah erases what He wills and confirms what He wills, and with Him is the Mother of the Book. Allah is enough as a witness.
