Yunus

These are the verses of the wise Book. People are amazed that a man from among them was sent to warn them. Your Lord created the heavens and the earth, made the sun a radiance and the moon a light with its phases, and alternates night and day: signs for those who think. When harm touches a person he calls on Allah, lying down, sitting or standing, but once it is removed he carries on as if he had never called. In a storm at sea people call on Allah alone, then go back to their ways once saved. This world is like rain that makes the earth bloom, until it is suddenly cut down. For those who do good is the best reward, and more. Ask them who provides, who controls hearing and sight, who brings life from death: they will say Allah. If they say the Prophet made the Quran up, let them bring one surah like it. The Quran is advice, healing for the hearts, guidance and mercy. The allies of Allah have no fear and will not grieve. Nuh was saved in the ship; Musa went to Pharaoh, whose magicians were defeated; Pharaoh drowned and declared faith too late, and his body was kept as a sign. Only the people of Yunus believed in time and were spared. No one can force people to believe. If Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it but Him.
