35.1 . Praise be to Allah , the Creator of the heavens and the earth , who appointeth the angels messengers having wings two , three and four . He multiplieth in creation what He will . Lo! Allah is Able to do all things .

35.2 . That which Allah openeth unto mankind of mercy none can withhold it ; and that which He withholdeth none can release thereafter . He is the Mighty , the Wise .

35.3 . O mankind! Remember Allah ' s grace toward you! Is there any creator other than Allah who provideth for you from the sky and the earth? There is no God save Him . Whither then are ye turned?

35.4 . And if they deny thee , ( O Muhammad ) , messengers ( of Allah ) were denied before thee . Unto Allah all things are brought back .

35.5 . O mankind! Lo! the promise of Allah is true . So let not the life of the world beguile you , and let not the ( avowed ) beguiler beguile you with regard to Allah .

35.6 . Lo! the devil is an enemy for you , so treat him as an enemy . He only summoneth his faction to be owners of the Earning Fire .

35.7 . Those who disbelieve , theirs will be an awful doom ; and those who believe and do good works , theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward .

35.8 . Is he , the evil of whose deeds is made fair seeming unto him so that he deemeth it good , ( other than Satan ' s dupe ) ? Allah verily sendeth whom He will astray , and guideth whom He will , so let not thy soul expire in sighings for them . Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do!

35.9 . And Allah it is who sendeth the winds and they raise a cloud ; then We lead it unto a dead land and revive therewith the earth after its death . Such is the Resurrection .

35.10 . Whoso desireth power ( should know that ) all power belongeth to Allah . Unto Him good words ascend , and the pious deed doth He exalt ; but those who plot iniquities , theirs will be an awful doom ; and the plotting of such ( folk ) will come to naught .

35.11 . Allah created you from dust , then from a little fluid , then He made you pairs ( the male and female ) . No female beareth or bringeth forth save with His knowledge . And no one groweth old who groweth old , nor is aught lessened of his life , but it is recorded in a Book . Lo! that is easy for Allah .

35.12 . And two seas are not alike : this , fresh , sweet , food to drink , this ( other ) bitter , salt . And from them both ye eat fresh meat and derive the ornament that ye wear . And thou seest the ship cleaving them with its prow that ye may seek of His bounty , and that haply ye may give thanks .

35.13 . He maketh the night to pass into the day and He maketh the day to pass into the night . He hath subdued the sun and moon to service . Each runneth unto an appointed term . Such is Allah , your lord ; His is the Sovereignty ; and those unto whom ye pray instead of Him own not so much as the white spot on a date stone .

35.14 . If ye pray unto them they hear not your prayer , and if they heard they could not grant it you . On the Day of Resurrection they will disown association with you . None can Inform you like Him Who is Aware .

35.15 . O mankind! Ye are the poor in your relation to Allah . And Allah! He is the Absolute , the Owner of Praise .

35.16 . If He will , He can be rid of you and bring ( instead of you ) some new creation .

35.17 . That is not a hard thing for Allah .

35.18 . And no burdened soul can bear another ' s burden , and if one heavy laden crieth for ( help with ) his load , naught of it will be lifted even though he ( unto whom he crieth ) be of kin . Thou warnest only those who fear their Lord in secret , and have established worship . He who groweth ( in goodness ) , groweth only for himself , ( he cannot by his merit redeem others ) . Unto Allah is the journeying .

35.19 . The blind man is not equal with the seer ;

35.20 . Nor is darkness ( tantamount to ) light ;
