   Read the passage · Ar-Ra'd 16–17

   قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَٱتَّخَذْتُم مِّن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ نَفْعًۭا وَلَا ضَرًّۭا ۚ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْبَصِيرُ أَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِى ٱلظُّلُمَٰتُ وَٱلنُّورُ ۗ أَمْ جَعَلُوا۟ لِلَّهِ شُرَكَآءَ خَلَقُوا۟ كَخَلْقِهِۦ فَتَشَٰبَهَ ٱلْخَلْقُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ وَهُوَ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّٰرُ١٦

   Say, "Who is Lord of the heavens and earth?" Say, "Allah." Say, "Have you then taken besides Him allies not possessing [even] for themselves any benefit or any harm?" Say, "Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Or is darkness equivalent to light? Or have they attributed to Allah partners who created like His creation so that the creation [of each] seemed similar to them?" Say, "Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Prevailing."

   أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۭ فَسَالَتْ أَوْدِيَةٌۢ بِقَدَرِهَا فَٱحْتَمَلَ ٱلسَّيْلُ زَبَدًۭا رَّابِيًۭا ۚ وَمِمَّا يُوقِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلنَّارِ ٱبْتِغَآءَ حِلْيَةٍ أَوْ مَتَٰعٍۢ زَبَدٌۭ مِّثْلُهُۥ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْحَقَّ وَٱلْبَٰطِلَ ۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَآءًۭ ۖ وَأَمَّا مَا يَنفَعُ ٱلنَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ١٧

   He sends down from the sky, rain, and valleys flow according to their capacity, and the torrent carries a rising foam. And from that [ore] which they heat in the fire, desiring adornments and utensils, is a foam like it. Thus Allah presents [the example of] truth and falsehood. As for the foam, it vanishes, [being] cast off; but as for that which benefits the people, it remains on the earth. Thus does Allah present examples.

   Read the passage · Ibrahim 32–34

   ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۭ فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ رِزْقًۭا لَّكُمْ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلْفُلْكَ لِتَجْرِىَ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِأَمْرِهِۦ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَنْهَٰرَ٣٢

   It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and sent down rain from the sky and produced thereby some fruits as provision for you and subjected for you the ships to sail through the sea by His command and subjected for you the rivers.

   وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ دَآئِبَيْنِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ٣٣

   And He subjected for you the sun and the moon, continuous [in orbit], and subjected for you the night and the day.

   وَءَاتَىٰكُم مِّن كُلِّ مَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُ ۚ وَإِن تَعُدُّوا۟ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَآ ۗ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَظَلُومٌۭ كَفَّارٌۭ٣٤

   And He gave you from all you asked of Him. And if you should count the favor of Allah, you could not enumerate them. Indeed, mankind is [generally] most unjust and ungrateful.

   Read the passage · Al-Waaqia 75–96

   ۞ فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ٧٥

   Then I swear by the setting of the stars,

   وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌۭ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ٧٦

   And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.

   إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌۭ كَرِيمٌۭ٧٧

   Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an

   فِى كِتَٰبٍۢ مَّكْنُونٍۢ٧٨

   In a Register well-protected;

   لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ٧٩

   None touch it except the purified.

   تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ٨٠

   [It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

   أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ٨١

   Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

   وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ٨٢

   And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?

   فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ٨٣

   Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat

   وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍۢ تَنظُرُونَ٨٤

   And you are at that time looking on -

   وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ٨٥

   And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -

   فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ٨٦

   Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,

   تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ٨٧

   Bring it back, if you should be truthful?

   فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ٨٨

   And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,

   فَرَوْحٌۭ وَرَيْحَانٌۭ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍۢ٨٩

   Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.

   وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ٩٠

   And if he was of the companions of the right,

   فَسَلَٰمٌۭ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ٩١

   Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."

   وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ٩٢

   But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,

   فَنُزُلٌۭ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ٩٣

   Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

   وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ٩٤

   And burning in Hellfire

   إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ٩٥

   Indeed, this is the true certainty,

   فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ٩٦

   So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ١

   Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,

   مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ٢

   The Sovereign of mankind.

   إِلَٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ٣

   The God of mankind,

   مِن شَرِّ ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ ٱلْخَنَّاسِ٤

   From the evil of the retreating whisperer -

   ٱلَّذِى يُوَسْوِسُ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ٥

   Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind -

   مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ٦

   From among the jinn and mankind."

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   وَٱلْمُرْسَلَٰتِ عُرْفًۭا١

   By those [winds] sent forth in gusts

   فَٱلْعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصْفًۭا٢

   And the winds that blow violently

   وَٱلنَّٰشِرَٰتِ نَشْرًۭا٣

   And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

   فَٱلْفَٰرِقَٰتِ فَرْقًۭا٤

   And those [angels] who bring criterion

   فَٱلْمُلْقِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا٥

   And those [angels] who deliver a message

   عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا٦

   As justification or warning,

   إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ٧

   Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.

   فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ٨

   So when the stars are obliterated

   وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتْ٩

   And when the heaven is opened

   وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ١٠

   And when the mountains are blown away

   وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ١١

   And when the messengers' time has come...

   لِأَىِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ١٢

   For what Day was it postponed?

   لِيَوْمِ ٱلْفَصْلِ١٣

   For the Day of Judgement.

   وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ١٤

   And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement?

   وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ١٥

   Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

   أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ١٦

   Did We not destroy the former peoples?

   ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ١٧

   Then We will follow them with the later ones.

   كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ١٨

   Thus do We deal with the criminals.

   وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ١٩

   Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

   أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٍۢ مَّهِينٍۢ٢٠

   Did We not create you from a liquid disdained?

   فَجَعَلْنَٰهُ فِى قَرَارٍۢ مَّكِينٍ٢١

   And We placed it in a firm lodging

   إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ٢٢

   For a known extent.

   فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْقَٰدِرُونَ٢٣

   And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine.

   وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ٢٤

   Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

   أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا٢٥

   Have We not made the earth a container

   أَحْيَآءًۭ وَأَمْوَٰتًۭا٢٦

   Of the living and the dead?

   وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ شَٰمِخَٰتٍۢ وَأَسْقَيْنَٰكُم مَّآءًۭ فُرَاتًۭا٢٧

   And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water.

   وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ٢٨

   Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

   ٱنطَلِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ٢٩

   [They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny.

   ٱنطَلِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّۢ ذِى ثَلَٰثِ شُعَبٍۢ٣٠

   Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns

   لَّا ظَلِيلٍۢ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ٣١

   [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame."

   إِنَّهَا تَرْمِى بِشَرَرٍۢ كَٱلْقَصْرِ٣٢

   Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress,

   كَأَنَّهُۥ جِمَٰلَتٌۭ صُفْرٌۭ٣٣

   As if they were yellowish [black] camels.

   وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ٣٤

   Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

   هَٰذَا يَوْمُ لَا يَنطِقُونَ٣٥

   This is a Day they will not speak,

   وَلَا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُونَ٣٦

   Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse.

   وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ٣٧

   هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ۖ جَمَعْنَٰكُمْ وَٱلْأَوَّلِينَ٣٨

   This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples.

   فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمْ كَيْدٌۭ فَكِيدُونِ٣٩

   So if you have a plan, then plan against Me.

   وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ٤٠

   Woe, that Day, to the deniers.
