Sura 43 The Ornaments (Al-Zukhruf)

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

[43:1] Hha. M.

[43:2] and the clear Book.

[43:3] We have rendered it an Arabic Quran so that you may understand.

[43:4] And indeed, it is with Us in the Mother Book, exalted and wise.

[43:5] Should We withhold the Reminder from you, disregarding you because you were an excessive people?

[43:6] How many a prophet We have sent to the previous ones,

[43:7] yet no prophet would come to them without them ridiculing him!

[43:8] So We annihilated ones who were of greater strike power than they, and the precedent of the previous ones came to pass.

[43:9] If you were to ask them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" They would say, "The Dignified, the Knowledgeable created them."

[43:10] He is the One who rendered the earth a cradle for you and made for you pathways therein so that you may be guided.

[43:11] And the One who brought down water from the sky in a measured amount, then We resurrected a dead land therewith. Likewise, you will be brought out.

[43:12] And the One who created all the pairs, and He rendered the ships and livestock for you to ride

[43:13] so that you may settle on their backs, and so that you may remember your Lord's blessings when you have settled upon them, and say, "Glory to the One who subjected this for us. We could not have done this by ourselves.

[43:14] Indeed, to our Lord we shall return."

[43:15] And they assigned to Him a share of His own servants! The human being is clearly ungrateful.

[43:16] Or has He taken daughters from that which He creates, and selected for you the sons?

[43:17] When one of them is given news of the like of what he attributes to the Almighty, his face darkens as he suppresses his grief.

[43:18] What good is one who is raised in luxury yet lacks clarity in a dispute?
