Surah 16
An-Nahl · The Bee
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
1GOD'S JUDGMENT is [bound to] come: do not, therefore, call for its speedy advent! Limitless is He in His glory and sublimely exalted above anything to which men may ascribe a share in His divinity!
2He causes the angels to descend with this divine inspiration, [bestowed] at His behest upon whomever He wills of His servants: "Warn [all human beings] that there is no deity save Me: be, therefore, conscious of Me!"
3He has created the heavens and the earth in accordance with [an inner] truth; sublimely exalted is He above anything to which men may ascribe a share in His divinity!
4He creates man out of a [mere] drop of sperm: and lo! this same being shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue!
5And He creates cattle: you derive warmth from them, and [various other] uses; and from them you obtain food;
6and you find beauty in them when you drive them home in the evenings and when you take them out to pasture in the mornings.
