Read in Context

Chapter 29, Page 398, Juz 20

14. We sent NūH to his people. So he stayed with them one thousand, less fifty, years. Then the Deluge seized them, and they were transgressors. 15. So We saved him and the people of the Ark, and made it a sign for all the worlds. 16. And (We sent) Ibrāhīm when he said to his people, “Worship Allah and fear Him. That is better for you if you know. 17. You only worship idols beside Allah, and you invent a lie. In fact those whom you worship beside Allah do not have power to give you provision. So seek provision with Allah and worship Him and be grateful to Him. To Him you are to be returned. 18. And if you reject me, then many nations have rejected their messengers before you. The messenger has no more obligation than to convey the message clearly.” 19. Did they not see how Allah originates the creation, then He will do it again. Surely this is easy for Allah. 20. Say, “Go about in the land and look how He has originated the creation. Then Allah will create the subsequent creation. Surely Allah is powerful to do everything.” 21. He punishes whom He wills and has mercy on whom He wills. And to Him you are to be turned back. 22. You are not (able) to frustrate (Allah) neither in the earth nor in the sky. And, apart from Allah, you have neither a protector nor a helper.
