| 11. And Who sends down water from the clouds in proper measure, and WE, thereby, quicken a dead land - even so will you be raise - 12. And Who has created pairs of all things, and has made for you ships and cattle whereon you ride, 13. That you may sit firmly upon their backs, and, then, when you are firmly seated thereon, you may remember the favour of your Lord, and say, `Holy is HE Who has subjected these to us, and we were not capable of subduing them ourselves, 14. `And to our Lord, surely, shall we return.' 15. And they assign to HIM a part of HIS servants as HIS children. Indeed man is manifestly ungrateful. 16. Has HE taken daughters from what HE has created, and favoured you with sons ? 17. Yet when the tidings are given to one of them of that the like of which he ascribes to the Gracious God, his face becomes dark and he is choked with inward grief. 18. Do they assign to ALLAH one who is nurtured among ornaments, and who is not able to give clear expression to an argument in disputation ? 19. And they regard as females the angels who are the servants of the Gracious God. Did they witness their creation ? Then their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned. 20. And they say, `If the Gracious God had so willed, we should not have worshiped them.' They have no knowledge whatsoever of that. They do nothing but conjecture. 21. Have WE given them a Scripture before this, so that they are holding fast to it ? 22. Nay, but they say, `We found our fathers following a certain course, and we are guided by their footsteps.' |
