| 78. And WE, indeed, sent Messengers before thee; of them are some whom WE have mentioned to thee ; and of them are some whom WE have not mentioned to thee, and it is not possible for any Messenger to bring a Sign except by the leave of ALLAH. But when ALLAH's decree comes, the matter is decided with justice and then there perish those who utter falsehoods. 79. ALLAH is HE who has made cattle for you, that you may ride on them, and eat of the flesh of some of them - 80. And you derive other benefits from them - and that, by means of them you may satisfy any desire that may be in your breasts. And on them and on ships are you borne. 81. And HE shows you HIS Signs; which, then, of the Signs of ALLAH will you deny ? 82. Have they not traveled in the earth that they might see what was the end of those who were before them ? They were more numerous than these, and mightier in power and left firmer traces in the earth. But all that which they earned was of no avail to them. 83. And when their Messengers came to them with manifest Signs, they exulted in the little knowledge they had. And that at which they mocked encompassed them. 84. And when they saw Our punishment they said, `We believe in ALLAH alone and we reject all that which we used to associate with HIM.' 85. But their faith could not profit them when they saw Our punishment. This is ALLAH's law that has ever been in operation in respect of HIS servants. And thus perished those who disbelieved. |
