Consequences for those who deny the messengers and the Last Day, and the reward for the believers

To every community We have sent an apostle. (saying:) "Worship God, and keep away from all other deities." Thus some of them were guided by God, and ruin was justified on some. Travel over the earth and see what befell those who accused (the apostles) of lies.

Even if you are eager to guide them, God does not surely guide those who have gone astray: They will have no one to help them.

They swear emphatically in the name of God that God will not raise the dead. On the contrary, it is a promise incumbent on Him, though most men do not understand,

For (they fear) He might make what they differed about plain to them, and that the infidels may realise that they were liars.

Yet when We will a thing We have only to say: "Be", and it is.

Those who left their homes in the cause of God after having been oppressed, will be given by Us a better place in the world, and if they knew, the guerdon of the next would be greater

(For) those who persevere and place their trust in their Lord.

We sent before you none (as apostles) but men, to whom We sent revelations. In case you are unaware, enquire of those who are keepers of the Oracles of God.

We had Sent them with miracles and Books; and We have sent to you this Reminder so that you may explain distinctly to men what was sent down to them: They may haply reflect.

Have the plotters of mischief become unafraid that God will not split the earth to swallow them, or that punishment will not fall upon them from somewhere they do not (even) suspect?

Or that He will not seize them as they move about, and they will not be able to elude (His grasp);

Or He may seize them by diminishing their portion. Yet your Lord is compassionate and kind.

Do they not see the shadows of all things God has created incline to the right and the left, bowing in obeisance to God?

All things that move on the earth and in the heavens, and the angels, bow in homage to God, and do not behave with pride.

They have fear of God for His power over them, and act as commanded.
