Chapter 16, Page 268, Juz 14

1. The command of Allāh is coming, so be not impatient for it. Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him. 2. He sends down the angels, with the inspiration [i.e., revelation] of His command, upon whom He wills of His servants, [telling them], "Warn that there is no deity except Me; so fear Me." 3. He created the heavens and earth in truth. High is He above what they associate with Him. 4. He created man from a sperm-drop; then at once he is a clear adversary. 5. And the grazing livestock He has created for you; in them is warmth and [numerous] benefits, and from them you eat. 6. And for you in them is [the enjoyment of] beauty when you bring them in [for the evening] and when you send them out [to pasture]. 7. And they carry your loads to a land you could not have reached except with difficulty to yourselves. Indeed, your Lord is Kind and Merciful. 8. And [He created] the horses, mules and donkeys for you to ride and [as] adornment. And He creates that which you do not know. 9. And upon Allāh is the direction of the [right] way, and among them [i.e., the various paths] are those deviating. And if He willed, He could have guided you all.
