| 164. Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and in the alternation of the night and the day, and in the ships that sail the sea with that which profits men, and in the water which ALLAH sends down from the sky and quickens therewith the earth after its death and scatters therein all kinds of beasts, and in the change of the winds and the clouds pressed into service between the heaven and the earth - are indeed Signs for the people who use their understanding. 165. And there are some among men who take for themselves objects of worship other than ALLAH, loving them as they should love ALLAH. But believers are stronger in their love for ALLAH. And if those who transgress could now see the time when they shall see the punishment, they would realize that all power belongs to ALLAH and that ALLAH is severe in punishing. 166. Could they but see when those who were followed shall disown their followers and shall see the punishment and all their ties shall be cut asunder. 167. And those who followed shall say, `If we could only return, we would disown them even as they have disowned us.' Thus will ALLAH show them their works as anguish for them, and that they shall not get out of the fire. 168. O ye men ! eat of what is lawful and good in the earth; and follow not the footsteps of Satan, surely he is to you an open enemy. 169. He enjoins upon you only what is evil and what is foul, and that you say of ALLAH what you do not know. |
