Say: 'Roam the earth and see what was the end of those who
flourished before you. Most of them worshipped others besides
Allah.’
Therefore set your face in devotion to the true faith before that
day arrives which none may put off against the will of Allah. On that
day mankind will be sundered. Those who disbelieve will answer for
their unbelief, while the righteous will make ready their blissful
home: for then Allah will in His bounty reward those who have
embraced the faith and done good works. Allah does not love the
unbelievers.
And of His signs is that He sends the winds as bearers of good
tidings, so that you may taste of His mercy and ships may sail at His
bidding; so that youmay seekHis bounty and render thanks toHim.
We sent before you other apostles to their peoples and they
showed them clear signs. We punished the guilty, and rightly
succoured the true believers.
It is Allah who drives the winds that raise the clouds. He spreads
them as He will in heaven and breaks them up, so that you can see the
rain falling from their midst. When He sends it down upon His
servants, they are filled with joy, though before its coming they may
have lost all hope.
Behold then the tokens of Allah's mercy; how He gives fresh life
to the earth after its death. He it is who brings back the dead to life. He
has power over all things.
