30.41 . Corruption doth appear on land and sea because of ( the evil ) which men ' s hands have done , that He may make them taste a part of that which they have done , in order that they may return .

30.42 . Say ( O Muhammad , to the disbelievers ) : Travel in the land , and see the nature of the consequence for those who were before you! Most of them were idolaters .

30.43 . So set thy purpose resolutely for the right religion , before the inevitable day cometh from Allah . On that day mankind will be sundered

30.44 . Whoso disbelieveth must ( then ) bear the consequences of his disbelief , while those who do right make provision for themselves

30.45 . That He may reward out of His bounty those who believe and do good works . Lo! He loveth not the disbelievers ( in His guidance ) .

30.46 . And of His signs is this : He sendeth herald winds to make you taste His mercy , and that the ships may sail at His command , and that ye may seek His favor , and that haply ye may be thankful .

30.47 . Verily We sent before thee ( Muhammad ) messengers to their own folk . They brought them clear proofs ( of Allah ' s Sovereignty ) . Then We took vengeance upon those who were guilty ( in regard to them ) . To help believers is incumbent upon Us .

30.48 . Allah is He who sendeth the winds so that they raise clouds , and spreadeth them along the sky as pleaseth Him , and causeth them to break and thou seest the rain downpouring from within them . And when He maketh it to fall on whom He will of His bondmen , lo! they rejoice ;

30.49 . Though before that , even before it was sent down upon them , they were in despair .

30.50 . Look , therefor , at the prints of Allah ' s mercy ( in creation ) : how He quickeneth the earth after her death . Lo! He verily is the Quickener of the Dead , and He is Able to do all things .

30.51 . And if We sent a wind and they beheld it yellow ; they verily would still continue in their disbelief .

30.52 . For verily thou ( Muhammad ) canst not make the dead to hear , nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call when they have turned to flee .

30.53 . Nor canst thou guide the blind out of their error . Thou canst make none to hear save those who believe in Our revelations so that they surrender ( unto Him ) .

30.54 . Allah is He who shaped you out of weakness , then appointed after weakness strength , then , after strength , appointed weakness and grey hair . He createth what He will . He is the Knower , the Mighty .

30.55 . And on the day when the Hour riseth the guilty will vow that they did tarry but an hour thus were they ever deceived .

30.56 . But those to whom knowledge and faith are given will say : The truth is , ye have tarried , by Allah ' s decree , until the Day of Resurrection . This is the Day of Resurrection , but ye used not to know .

30.57 . In that day their excuses will not profit those who did injustice , nor will they be allowed to make amends .

30.58 . Verily We have coined for mankind in the Quran all kinds of similitudes ; and indeed if thou comest unto them with a miracle , those who disbelieve would verily exclaim : Ye are but tricksters!

30.59 . Thus doth Allah seal the hearts of those who know not .

30.60 . So have patience ( O Muhammad ) ! Allah ' s promise is the very truth , and let not those who have no certainty make thee impatient .
