Chapter 32, Page 415, Juz 21

1. Alif. Lam. Mim 2. The revelation of the Scripture whereof there is no doubt is from the Lord of the Worlds. 3. Or say they: He hath invented it? Nay, but it is the Truth from thy Lord, that thou mayst warn a folk to whom no warner came before thee, that haply they may walk aright. 4. Allah it is Who created the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, in six Days. Then He mounted the Throne. Ye have not, beside Him, a protecting friend or mediator. Will ye not then remember? 5. He directeth the ordinance from the heaven unto the earth; then it ascendeth unto Him in a Day, whereof the measure is a thousand years of that ye reckon. 6. Such is the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, the Mighty, the Merciful, 7. Who made all things good which He created, and He began the creation of man from clay; 8. Then He made his seed from a draught of despised fluid; 9. Then He fashioned him and breathed into him of His Spirit; and appointed for you hearing and sight and hearts. Small thanks give ye! 10. And they say: When we are lost in the earth, how can we then be re-created? Nay but they are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord. 11. Say: The angel of death, who hath charge concerning you, will gather you, and afterward unto your Lord ye will be returned.
