None sustains them but Allah. Surely in this there are signs for true
believers.
Allah has given you houses to dwell in, and the skins of beasts for
shelter, so that you may find them light on the day of wandering and on
the day of halting; while from their wool, fur, and hair He has given you
comfort and domestic goods for a time.
Allah has given you of what He has created shelter.And He has given
you refuge in the mountains. He has furnished you with garments to
protect you from the heat, and with coats of armour to shield you in
your wars. Thus He perfects His favours to you, so that youmay submit
toHim.
But if they turn away, your mission is only to give plainwarning.
They recognize the favours of Allah, then they deny them, and most
of themare ungrateful.
On the dayWe call a witness from every nation, then permission will
not be given to the unbelievers, nor shall they be allowed to make
amends.And when the guilty face their punishment, their torment shall
never be allayed, nor shall they ever be reprieved.
Andwhen those who set up partners withAllah behold their partners,
they shall say: 'Lord, these are our partners to whom we used to pray
besides You.' But their partners will retort: 'Surely you are liars.' They
shall proffer submission toAllah on that day, and their own inventions
will forsake them.
(As for) those that disbelieve and debar others from the path ofAllah,
We shall add to their chastisement for their misdeeds.
