بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
13:1 A.L.M.R. These (letters) are the miracles of the Book. That which has been sent down to you from your Lord is the truth, but most of the people do not believe.
13:2 It is Allah Who raised the heavens without a pillar that you can see, then He is sovereign over all government, and He subdued the sun and the moon. All of them pass away for a definite period of time. He controls all affairs and explains the verses in detail so that you may have no doubt about meeting your Lord
13:3 He built the earth and placed on it firm mountains and rivers and every kind of fruit He created, male and female. He covers the night with the day. Surely in this are signs and lessons for a thinking people.
13:4 On the earth are neighboring pieces of land, vineyards, crops, and date palms with forks and without forks. We have made them different in flavor from one another, though they are all watered with the same water. Surely in this are signs and lessons for a people who use their reason.
13:5 "If you wonder, wonder at their saying: "Shall we be created again after we have become dust?"Those are they who disbelieve in their Lord. They are the ones who deserve shackles around their necks. They are the inhabitants of the Fire, wherein they will abide forever."
13:6 Instead of asking for good, they ask You to bring upon them a calamity at once, but examples have gone before them. Your Lord is forgiving to the people despite their wrongdoing. The torment of your Lord is severe.
13:7 "The disbelievers say, "Should not a miracle have come down to him? You are but a warner. For every people there is a Guidance."
13:8 Allah knows what every female bears and what the wombs decrease and increase. With Him everything is according to a measure.
13:9 He is the Knower of the hidden and the manifest, the Great, the Exalted.
13:10 Whether you conceal the Word or reveal it, whether you hide it in the darkness of the night or come out in the daytime, it is one for Him.
13:11 (For each of them) there are those who watch him from in front of him and from behind him. They guard him by Allah´s command. Unless a community changes itself, Allah does not change their condition. And when Allah wills evil for a people, no power can stop it, nor do they have any protector except Him.
13:12 He is the One who shows you lightning as fear and hope and forms heavy clouds.
13:13 The thunder praises Him and the angels honor Him. He sends lightning and strikes with it whom He wills. They are still disputing about Allah. He has irresistible power.
13:14 The true prayer is addressed to Him. Those whom they call to besides Him cannot answer them in any way. Like one who stretches out his hand for water, but nothing reaches his mouth. The prayer of the disbelievers is in vain.
13:15 To Allah prostrates all that is in the heavens and the earth. And their shadows also morning and evening.
13:16 "Say: "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?"Say: "Allah."Say: "Have you taken as saints besides Him those who can neither benefit nor harm even themselves?"Say: "Are the blind and the seeing alike, or the darkness and the light alike?"Or have they found partners who create as Allah has created, and have they confused their creations with each other? Say: "Allah is the Creator of all things, He is One, Sovereign."
13:17 He sends down water from the sky, and the streams overflow with it and the flood is laden with foam. In the same way, they obtain a similar foam from the materials they melt to make jewelry or objects. Allah introduces the truth and falsehood by such an example. The foam disappears, but that which is useful to mankind remains in the ground. This is how Allah gives examples.
13:18 Those who obey the call of their Lord deserve the good. As for those who do not obey His call, even if they have all that is in the earth and as much of it, they will be ready to give it all as a ransom to be saved. For them will be the worst of interrogation and their abode will be Hell; what a disastrous abode it will be!
13:19 Is he who knows that what has been sent down to you is the truth like one who does not see? Only those who have understanding take admonition.
13:20 Those who fulfill their promise to Allah and do not break the covenant.
