If you count the favours of Allah you will never be able to

count them.

Every bounty that you enjoy is from Allah

But ungrateful people associate others with their Lord in

giving thanks.

1}1{ If you count the favours of Allah you will never be able to count

them. Verily man is highly unjust, exceedingly ungrateful.

}{ Is then the One Who creates like the one who does not create?

Will you not, then, take heed?For, if you count the blessings of

Allah, you will not be able to count them. Surely Allah is Ever

Forgiving, Most Merciful.

}3{ Every bounty that you enjoy is from Allah; and whenever any

misfortune strikes you, it is to Him that you cry for the removal

of your distress. But as soon as He removes the distress from

Our life is a Blessing of Allah

you, some of you associate others with their Lord in giving

thanks, that they may show ingratitude for the bounties We

bestowed upon them. So enjoy yourselves for a while, soon youwill come to know (the truth).

3}13{ And it is He, Who created man from water: then from him He

caused two kinds of kindred, by blood and by marriage: your

Lord is AII-Powerful. Yet they worship, instead of Allah, those

who can neither benefit them nor harm them: more than this,

the disbeliever has become a helper of every rebel against his

Lord. }{ He creates you in your mothers' wombs, giving you one formafter another in threefold depths of darkness. That, then, is

Allah, your Lord. His is the kingdom. There is no god but He. So,

whence are you being turned astray?

He gave you hearing, and sight and thinking hearts so that

you may give thanks.

}}5

We created man out of the extract of clay then We made him into a

drop of life-germ, then We placed it in a safe depository, then We

made this drop into a clot, then We made the clot into a lump, then

We made the lump into bones, then We clothed the bones with

flesh, and then We caused it to grow into another creation. Thus

Most Blessed is Allah, the Best of all those that create.Thereafter

you are destined to die,and then on the Day of Resurrection you

shall certainly be raised up.

}}1

Say: He it is Who has brought you into being, and has given you

hearing and sight, and has given you hearts to think and understand.

How seldom do you give thanks! Say: Allah it is Who multiplied

you in the earth and to Him you will be mustered.

Address to those who associate partners with Allah

What do you think? If Allah takes away your hearing and your

sight and seals your hearts - who is the god, other than Allah,

who can restore them to you?

}{ Say (O Muhammad!): What do you think? If Allah takes away your

hearing and your sight and seals your hearts - who is the god, other than

Allah, who can restore them to you? Behold, how We put forth Our signs

in diverse forms, and yet they turn away from them.

}}45 Do they associate (with Allah in His divinity) those who can create

nothing; rather, they are themselves created?They have no power

to help others nor can they help themselves.}1{

Who is it Who creates in the first instance and then repeats it? Who is it

Who provides you with sustenance from the heavens and the earth? Is

there any god associated with Allah (in these tasks)? Say: "Bring forth

your evidence, if you are truthful."

Your Creator is your only God

How do you disbelieve?

}{

Do you deny Him Who created you out of dust, then out of a drop of

sperm, and then fashioned you into a complete man?}{

How is it that you adopt the attitude of disbelief towards Allah when

the fact is that you were lifeless and He gave you life, and He will

take away life from you and will again restore you to life: then you

shall ultimately return to Him.He it is Who created for you all that

there is on the Earth; He then turned to the sky and ordered it into

seven heavens. And He has full knowledge of everything.

Allah feeds us and provides us the sustenance.

O Mankind, submit to your Lord Who created you and those who

were before you; in this way only you may expect to save

yourselves. It is He Who has made the earth a bed for you andthe sky a canopy; and it is He Who sends down rain from above

for the growth of every kind of food products for your

sustenance. So, when you know this, you should not set up

equals to rank with Allah.

4}{There is not a single moving creature on the earth but Allah is

responsible for providing its sustenance. He knows where it dwells

and where it will permanently rest. All this is recorded in a clear Book.2}1{

He it is Who spread the earth for you; and made in it paths for you,

and sent down water from the sky, and then through it We brought

forth many species of diverse plant. So eat yourself and pasture your

cattle. Surely there are many Signs in this for people of

understanding.

}}1He Who feeds and Himself is not fed?

Can any of those whom you associate with Allah as

partner! Provide you sustenance?

Who can provide for you if He withholds His sustenance?

Allah enlarges and straitens the sustenance of

whomsoever He wills.

}5}5 His are the keys of the heavens and the earth. He enlarges and

straitens the sustenance of whomsoever He wills. Surely He has

knowledge of everything.

}4{ Who shall provide for you if He withholds His sustenance?

2}2{ It is Allah Who created you, then bestowed upon you your

sustenance, and He will cause you to die and then will bring you

back to life. Can any of those whom you associate with Allah as

partner! Do any such thing? Glory be to Him and exalted be He

above whatever they associate with Allah in His Divinity.

So seek your sustenance from Allah and serve only Him

and give thanks to Him alone.

Eat without hesitation of the good and clean things

wherewith We have provided you

Allah decides what things are lawful and what are unlawful

3}{

O people, remember Allah's favour upon you. Is there any creator,

apart from Allah, who provides you your sustenance out of the

heavens and earth? There is no god but He. Whither are you, then,

being misdirected?

}}

Indeed those whom you worship beside Allah have no power to

provide you with any sustenance. So seek your sustenance from

Allah and serve only Him and give thanks to Him alone. It is to Him

that you will be sent back.

O Believers, if you are true worshippers of Allah alone, eat

without hesitation of the good and clean things wherewith We

have provided you and be grateful to Allah. }}

Believers! Do not hold as unlawful the good things which Allahhas made lawful to you, and do not exceed the bounds of right.

Allah does not love those who transgress the bounds of right.

And partake of the lawful, good things which Allah has provided

you as sustenance, and refrain from disobeying Allah in Whom

you believe.}}5

Say ( Muhammad): 'Who has forbidden the adornment which

Allah has brought forth for His creatures or the good things from

among the means of sustenance?' Say: 'These are for theenjoyment of the believers in this world, and shall be exclusively

theirs on the Day of Resurrection.' Thus do We clearly expound

Our revelations for those who have knowledge.

Polytheists declare by themselves what is lawful and

what is unlawful without any command from Allah

}}

O people, eat of what is lawful and clean in the earth and do not

follow the ways of Satan, for he is your open enemy.He enjoins you

to commit vice and indecency and induces you to attribute to Allah's

name things you do not know to be from Him.

}2} Say: Did you consider that the sustenance which Allah had sent

down for you of your own accord you have declared some of it as

unlawful and some as lawful? Ask them: 'Did Allah bestow upon you

any authority for this or do you forge lies against Allah?

A way of associating others as partners with Allah

Allah has forbidden you only carrion, and blood, and the flesh of

swine; also any animal over which the name of any other than Allah

has been pronounced. But whoever eats of them under compelling

necessity - neither desiring it nor exceeding the limit of absolute

necessity - surely for such action Allah is Much Forgiving, Most

Merciful. And do not utter falsehoods by letting your tongues

declare: "This is lawful" and "That is unlawful," thus fabricating lies

against Allah. Surely those who fabricate lies against Allah will never

prosper.

}3{ Those who associate others as partners with Allah say: "Were Allah

to will so, neither we nor our forefathers would have worshipped

any other than Him, nor would we have prohibited anything without

His command." Their predecessors proffered similar excuses. Do the

Messengers have any other duty but to plainly convey the Message?

}}54 Do not eat of (the animal) over which the name of Allah has not

been pronounced (at the time of its slaughtering), for that is a

transgression. And behold, the evil ones do inspire doubts and

This is the Reality

Some polytheists set apart for others, a portion of the

sustenance Allah has provided them.

objections into the hearts of their friends so that they dispute

with you; but if you obey them, you will surely yourselves turn

into those who associate others as partners with Allah.

}{They set apart for those, whose reality they do not even know, a

portion of the sustenance We have provided them. By Allah, you

will surely be called to account for the lies that you have

invented!

}5}2

The dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. He

creates whatever He pleases. He grants females to whomever He

pleases and males to whomever He pleases, or grants them a

mix of males and females, and causes whomever He pleases to

be barren. He is All- Knowing, All-Powerful.

The way of those who associate partners with Allah

}}2

It is He - Allah -Who created you from a single being, and out of it He

made its mate, that he may find comfort in her. And when he covers

her, she bears a light burden and goes about with it. Then, when she

grows heavy, they pray to their Lord: 'If You bestow upon us a

healthy child, we will surely give thanks .' But when He vouchsafes

them a healthy child, they attribute to Him partners regarding what

Allah had bestowed upon them. Subliminally exalted is Allah above

that which they associate with Him.}5{

And Allah has given you spouses from your kind, and has grantedyou through your spouses, sons and grandsons, and has provided

you wholesome things as sustenance. (After knowing all this), do

they still believe in falsehood and deny Allah's bounty, and worship

instead of Allah, those helpless beings who have no control over

providing them any sustenance from the heavens and the earth; do

you worship those who have no power to do anything of this sort?

In fact every bounty that we enjoy is from Allah, but instead

of being grateful to Allah, stray people give thanks to others

and thus associate partners with Allah in His bounties.

}3{ Every bounty that you enjoy is from Allah; and whenever any

misfortune strikes you, it is to Him that you cry for the removal ofyour distress. But as soon as He removes the distress from you,

some of you associate others with their Lord in giving thanks, that

they may show ingratitude for the bounties We bestowed upon

them. So enjoy yourselves for a while, soon you will come to know

(the truth).
