Fussilat

This is a Book whose verses are explained in detail, yet most turn away and say, “In our ears is deafness.” Say: “I am only a human being like you”, and it is revealed to me that your God is One. Allah created the earth, set firm mountains on it and measured out its provisions. He turned to the sky while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, “Come, willingly or unwillingly,” and they said, “We come willingly.” ‘Ad said, “Who is stronger than us?” and a furious, howling wind came upon them. Thamud preferred blindness over guidance, and the thunderbolt seized them. On the Day the enemies of Allah are driven to the Fire, their hearing, eyes and skins will testify against them. “Why did you testify against us?” they ask, and their skins answer, “Allah made us speak.” The disbelievers say, “Do not listen to this Quran, and make noise during it.” But the angels descend on those who say “Our Lord is Allah” and stand firm: “Do not fear and do not grieve.” Repel evil with what is better, and an enemy will become a close friend. Do not prostrate to the sun or the moon, but to Allah who created them. Falsehood cannot come to this Book from before it or behind it. Man never tires of asking for good, and despairs when evil touches him. Allah will show them His signs on the horizons and within themselves, until it is clear that this is the truth.
