| 73. And they worship beside ALLAH such as have no power to bestow on them any gift from the heavens and the earth, nor can they ever have such power. 74. So coin not similitudes for ALLAH. Surely ALLAH knows and you know not. 75. ALLAH sets forth for you the parable of a slave who is owned, having no power over anything; and a free man whom WE have provided with a fair provision from US and he spends thereof secretly and openly. Are they equal ? Praise be to ALLAH. But most of them know not. 76. And ALLAH sets forth another parable of two men - one of them is dumb, having no power over anything, and he is a burden on his master; withersoever he sends him, he brings no good. Can he be equal to him who enjoins justice and who is on the straight path ? 77. And to ALLAH belongs the knowledge of the unseen in the heavens and the earth; and the matter of the coming of the promised Hour is but as the twinkling of an eye, nay, it is nearer still. Surely, ALLAH has full power over all things. 78. And ALLAH has brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers while you knew nothing, and gave you ears and eyes and hearts, that you may be grateful. 79. Do they not observe the birds held under subjection in the vault of heaven ? None keeps them back save ALLAH. Verily, in that are Signs for a people who believe. |
