God puts forth the example of two men, one of them is mute and he cannot control anything, and he is a burden to his master. Wherever he points him, he does not come with any good. Is he the same as one who orders good and he is on a straight path?

To God is the mystery of the heavens and the earth, and the matter of the moment is like the blink of the eye or nearer. God is capable of all things.

God brought you out of your mothers' wombs while you knew nothing. He made for you the hearing and the eyesight and the heart, perhaps you would be thankful.

Did they not look to the birds held in the atmosphere of the sky? No one holds them up except God. In that are signs for a people who acknowledge.

God has made your homes a habitat, and He made for you from the hides of the livestock shelter which you find light for travel and when you stay, and from its wool, fur, and hair you make furnishings and goods, for a while.

God has made for you shade from what He created. He made from the mountains a refuge for you. He made for you garments which protect you from the heat, and garments which protect you from attack. It is such that He completes His blessing upon you, that you may peacefully surrender.

So if they turn away, then you are only required to deliver clearly.

They recognize God's blessing, then they deny it. Most of them are ingrates.

The day We send from every nation a witness, then those who have rejected will not be given leave, nor will they be allowed to make amends.

Then those who were wicked will see the retribution; it will not be lightened for them, nor will they be given respite.

When those who set up partners saw the partners they made, they said, "Our Lord, these are our partners that we used to call upon besides You." But they returned in answer to them: "You are liars!"

They peacefully surrendered to God on that day, and what they had invented abandoned them.

Those who rejected, and repelled others from the path of God, We have increased the retribution for them over the retribution for what they had corrupted.

The day We send to every nation a witness against them from themselves, and We have brought you as a witness against these. We have sent down to you the book as a clarification for all things, a guide, mercy and good tidings for those who have peacefully surrendered.

God orders justice and goodness, and that you shall help your relatives, and He forbids from evil, vice, and transgression. He warns you that you may remember.

You shall fulfill your pledge to God when you pledge so, and do not break your oath after making it, for you have made God a sponsor over you. God is aware of what you do.

Do not be like the one who unraveled her knitting after it had become strong, by breaking your oaths as a means of deception between you, because a nation is more numerous than another nation. God only puts you to the test by it. He will show you on the day of Resurrection what you were disputing in.

Had God wished, He would have made you one nation, but He misguides whom He wishes, and He guides whom He wishes. You will be asked about what you used to do.

Do not use your oaths as a means of deception between you, that a foot will falter after it had been firm, and you will taste the evil of turning away from the path of God, and you will have a great retribution.

Do not trade your pledge with God for petty gains. What is with God is far better for you if you know.

What you have will run out, while what God has will remain. We will compensate those who are patient with the best of what they used to do.

Whoever does good work, be he male or female, and is an acknowledger, We will give him a good life and We will reward them their dues with the best of what they used to do.

So, when you study the Quran, you shall seek refuge with God from Perverse the outcast.

He has no authority over those who acknowledge, and who put their trust in their Lord.

His authority is over those who follow him, and those who set him up as a partner.
