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?

you may give thanks.

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.

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.

partner! Provide you sustenance?
Who can provide for you if He withholds His sustenance?
Allah enlarges and straitens the sustenance of
whomsoever He wills.

Allah decides what things are lawful and what are unlawful

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
