Your God is one God. There is no god but Him. He is the
Compassionate, theMerciful.
In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night
and day; in the ships that sail the ocean with what is beneficial to man;
in the water which Allah sends down from the sky and with which He
revives the earth after its death, dispersing over it all manner of beasts;
in the movements of the winds, and in the clouds that are driven
between earth and sky: surely in these there are signs for people who
understand.
Yet there are some who worship other objects besides Allah,
bestowing on them the adoration due to Allah, and the love of Allah is
stronger in the faithful. But if they face their punishment, the
wrongdoers will know that might is His alone and that Allah is stern in
retribution. Seeing the punishment, the leaders will disown their
followers, and the bonds which now unite them will break asunder.
Those who followed themwill say: 'Could we but live again, we would
disown themas they have nowdisowned us.'
Thus Allah will show them their own works as source of regret to
them, and they shall never come out of the Fire.
Men, eat of what is lawful and wholesome on the earth and do not
walk in Satan's footsteps, for he is your sworn enemy. He enjoins you
to commit evil and indecency and to assert aboutAllah what you do not
know.
When it is said: to them: 'FollowwhatAllah has revealed,' they reply:
