Verses 1–20 of 75
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.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:164Permitted to you, On the night of the fasts, Is the approach to your wives. They are your garments And ye are their garments. God knoweth what ye Used to do secretly among yourselves; But He turned to you And forgave you; So now associate with them, And seek what God Hath ordained for you, And eat and drink, Until the white thread Of dawn appear to you Distinct from its black thread; Then complete your fast Till the night appears; But do not associate With your wives While ye are in retreat In the mosques. Those are Limits (set by) God: Approach not nigh thereto. Thus doth God make clear His Signs to men: that They may learn self-restraint.
