39.21 . Hast thou not seen how Allah hath sent down water from the sky and hath caused it to penetrate the earth as water springs , and afterward thereby produceth crops of divers hues ; and afterward they wither and thou seest them turn yellow ; then He maketh them chaff . Lo! herein verily is a reminder for men of understanding .

39.22 . Is he whose bosom Allah hath expanded for the Surrender ( unto Him ) , so that he followeth a light from His Lord , ( as he who disbelieveth ) ? Then woe unto those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah . Such are in plain error .

39.23 . Allah hath ( now ) revealed the fairest of statements , a Scripture consistent , ( wherein promises of reward are ) paired ( with threats of punishment ) , whereat doth creep the flesh of those who fear their Lord , so that their flesh and their hearts soften to Allah ' s reminder . Such is Allah ' s guidance , where with He guideth whom He will . And him whom Allah sendeth astray , for him there is no guide .

39.24 . Is he then , who will strike his face against the awful doom upon the Day of Resurrection ( as he who doeth right ) ? And it will be said unto the wrong doers : Taste what ye used to earn .

39.25 . Those before them denied , and so the doom came on them whence they knew not .

39.26 . Thus Allah made them taste humiliation in the life of the world , and verily the doom of the Hereafter will be greater if they did but know .

39.27 . And verily We have coined for mankind in this Quran all kinds of similitudes , that haply they may reflect ;

39.28 . A Lecture in Arabic , containing no crookedness , that haply they may ward off ( evil ) .

39.29 . Allah coineth a similitude : A man in relation to whom are several part owners , quarrelling , and a man belonging wholly to one man . Are the two equal in similitude? Praise be to Allah! But most of them know not .

39.30 . Lo! thou wilt die , and lo! they will die ;

39.31 . Then lo! on the Day of Resurrection , before your Lord ye will dispute .

39.32 . And who doth greater wrong than he who telleth a lie against Allah , and denieth the truth when it reacheth him? Will not the home of disbelievers be in hell?

39.33 . And whoso bringeth the truth and believeth therein Such are the dutiful .

39.34 . They shall have what they will of their Lord ' s bounty . That is the reward of the good :

39.35 . That Allah will remit from them the worst of what they did , and will pay them for reward the best they used to Jo .

39.36 . Will not Allah defend His slave? Yet they would frighten thee with those beside Him . He whom Allah sendeth astray , for him there is no guide .

39.37 . And he whom Allah guideth , for him there can be no misleader . Is not Allah Mighty , Able to Requite ( the wrong ) ?

39.38 . And verily , if thou shouldst ask them : Who created the heavens and the earth? they will say : Allah . Say : Bethink you then of those ye worship beside Allah , if Allah willed some hurt for me , could they remove from me His hurt ; or if He willed some mercy for me , could they restrain His mercy? Say : Allah is my all . In Him do ( all ) the trusting put their trust .

39.39 . Say : O my people! Act in your manner . I too am acting . Thus ye will come to know

39.40 . Who it is unto whom cometh a doom that will abase him , and on whom there falleth everlasting doom .
