| 67. HE it is Who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clot; then HE brings you forth as a child; then HE lets you grow, so that you attain your full strength; and afterward become old - though some among you are caused to die before - and that you may reach a term appointed and that you may learn wisdom. 68. HE it is Who gives life and causes death. And when HE decrees a thing, HE says concerning it, `Be !' and it becomes into being. 69. Seest thou not those who dispute concerning the Signs of ALLAH ? How they are being turned away from the truth ! 70. Those who reject the Book and that with which WE sent Our Messengers. But soon will they come to know, 71. When the iron-collars will be round their necks, and chains too. And they will be dragged 72. Into boiling water; then in the Fire will they be burnt. 73. Then it will be said to them, `Where are those who were your associate gods 74. `Beside ALLAH ?' They will say, `They have vanished away from us. Nay, we never prayed to anything beside ALLAH before.' Thus will ALLAH confound the disbelievers. 75. That is because you exulted in the earth without justification, and because you behaved insolently. 76. Enter ye the gates of Hell, to abide therein. And evil is the abode of the arrogant. 77. So be thou patient. Surely, the promise of ALLAH is bound to be fulfilled. And whether WE show thee in this life part of what WE have promised them or whether WE cause thee to die before the fulfillment of Our promise, to Us will they be brought back. |
