الْوَاقِعَة

from changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not.

And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises?

See ye the seed that ye sow in the ground?

Is it ye that cause it to grow, or are We the Cause?

Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment,

(Saying), "We are indeed left with debts (for nothing):

"Indeed are we shut out (of the fruits of our labour)"

See ye the water which ye drink?

Do ye bring it down (in rain) from the cloud or do We?

Were it Our Will, We could make it salt (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks?

See ye the Fire which ye kindle?

Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it?

We have made it a memorial (of Our handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts.

Then celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme!

Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars,-

And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew,-

That this is indeed a qur´an Most Honourable,

In Book well-guarded,

Which none shall touch but those who are clean:

A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
