Fatir

All praise to Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, who makes angels messengers. Whatever mercy He opens, none can hold back. Is there any creator but Allah who provides for you? If they reject the Prophet ﷺ, messengers before him were rejected too. Allah’s promise is true, and Satan is an enemy, so treat him as one. Allah sends the winds, drives clouds to a dead land and revives it, and so will the Resurrection be. To Him rise good words. He made you from dust. Two seas, one sweet and one salty, both give food and ornaments, ships sail through them, and the idols do not own even the skin of a date stone. O people, you are the ones in need of Allah, and He is free of need. No one will carry another’s burden. The blind and the seeing, darkness and light, shade and heat, the living and the dead are not equal. Allah sends down rain and brings out fruits of many colours. There are mountains streaked white and red and jet-black, and people, animals and cattle of various colours. Only those of His servants with knowledge truly fear Allah. Those who recite the Book, pray and spend hope for a trade that never fails. Three kinds inherit the Book: some wrong themselves, some keep a middle course, and some race ahead in good, and Gardens wait for them. In the Fire they scream, “Our Lord, take us out!” and are told a warner already came. Show me one thing your idols created. Allah alone holds the heavens and the earth from falling away. If He punished people at once for what they earned, not one creature would be left on earth, but He gives them time until a set term.
