   Behold! In the creation Of the heavens and the earth; In the alternation Of the Night and the Day; In the sailing of the ships Through the Ocean For the profit of mankind; In the rain which God Sends down from the skies, And the life which He gives therewith To an earth that is dead; In the beasts of all kinds That He scatters Through the earth; In the change of the winds, And the clouds which they Trail like their slaves Between the sky and the earth;— (Here) indeed are Signs For a people that are wise.

   Didst thou not Turn by vision to those Who abandoned their homes, Though they were thousands (In number), for fear of death? God said to them: "Die": Then He restored them to life. For God is full of bounty To mankind, but Most of them are ungrateful.

   Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one Who disputed with Abraham About his Lord, because God had granted him Power? Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who Giveth life and death." He said: "I give life and death." Said Abraham: "But it is God That causeth the sun To rise from the East: Do thou then cause him To rise from the West." Thus was he confounded Who (in arrogance) rejected Faith. Nor doth God Give guidance To a people unjust.

   Or (take) the similitude Of one who passed By a hamlet, all in ruins To its roofs. He said: "Oh! how shall God Bring it (ever) to life, After (this) its death?" But God caused him To die for a hundred years, Then raised him up (again). He said: "How long Didst thou tarry (thus)?" He said: "(Perhaps) a day Or part of a day." He said: "Nay, thou hast tarried Thus a hundred years; But look at thy food And thy drink; they show No signs of age; and look At thy donkey: and that We may make of thee A Sign unto the people, Look further at the bones, How We bring them together And clothe them with flesh." When this was shown clearly To him, he said: "I know That God hath power Over all things."

Then although there came To them Our Apostles With Clear Signs, yet, Even after that, many Of them continued to commit Excesses in the land.
