Praise is for Allah alone Who is the Owner of everything in the Leavens and the earth,1 and the praise is for Him alone in the Hereafter, too.2 He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware.3 He knows whatever goes into the earth and whatever comes out of it; and whatever comes down from the sky and whatever ascends into it: He is the All-Merciful, the All-Forgiving.4 The disbelievers say, "How is it that the Resurrection is not coming upon us?"5 Say, "By my Lord, Knower of the Unseen, it shall certainly come upon you.6 Not an atom's weight of anything is hidden from Him, neither in the heavens nor in the earth, nor anything smaller than an atom nor greater than it: everything is recorded in a clear register."7 Resurrection shall take place so that Allah may reward those who have believed and done good works. For them there is forgiveness and a generous provision. As for those who have striven hard to discredit Our Revelations, for them there is a painful torment of the worst kind.8 O Prophet, those who possess the knowledge fully well know that whatever has been revealed to you from your Lord, is the very Truth, and it guides to the Way of the All-Mighty, All-Praiseworthy God.9 The disbelievers say to the people, "Shall we point out to you a man who gives the news that when your body will have been scattered into particles, you will be resurrected once again? No one knows whether this man forges a lie in the name of Allah or is mad."10 Nay, but those only, who do not believe in the Hereafter, will incur the punishment and they are involved in gross error.11 Have they never seen the earth, which surrounds them from front and from behind? If We will, We can sink them underground, or cause some fragments of the sky to fall down upon them.12 There is' indeed a Sign in this for every such servant who turns to God.13
