O people it is you who stand in need36 of Allah: Allah is Self-Sufficient and Self-Praiseworthy.37 If He wills He can remove you and bring a new creation in your place: this is not at all difficult for Allah.38 No bearer of a burden will bear another's burden,39 and if a laden soul cries out for help, none will come forward to share the least of its burden, even though it be the nearest kinsman.40 (O Prophet,) you can only warn those who fear their Lord though they cannot see Him, and establish the Salat.41 Whoever adopts purity does so for his own good, and to Allah shall all return. The blind and the seeing are not alike, nor are the darknesses and light alike, nor are the cool shade and the heat of the sun, nor the living and the dead alike.42 Allah causes whomever He wills, to hear, but (O Prophet,) you cannot make those who are buried in the graves to hear you.43 You are only a warner.44 We have sent you with the Truth, as a bearer of good news and a warner. And there has been no nation which was not visited by a warner.45 Now if they treat you as a liar, those who lived before them also treated (their Messengers) as liars. Their Messengers came to them with clear proofs46 and Scriptures and the enlightening Book.47 Then I seized those who disbelieved, and behold, how terrible was My punishment!
