Quran Chapter 16: Surah An-Nahl (The Bee) English Translation

Description

(16:1) Allah's judgement has (all but) come; do not, then, call for its speedy advent. Holy is He, and far above their associating others with Him in His Divinity. (16:2) He sends down this spirit(of prophecy) by His command through His angels on any of His servants whom He wills, (directing them): "Warn people that there is no deity but Me; so hold Me alone in fear." (16:3) He created the heavens and the earth with Truth. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Allah in His Divinity. (16:4) He created man out of a mere drop of fluid, and lo! he turned into an open wrangler. (16:5) He created the cattle. They are a source of clothing and food and also a variety of other benefits for you. (16:6) And you find beauty in them as you drive them to pasture in the morning and as you drive them back home in the evening; (16:7) and they carry your loads to many a place which you would be unable to reach without much hardship. Surely your Lord is Intensely Loving, Most Merciful. (16:8) And He created horses and mules and asses for you to ride, and also for your adornment. And He creates many things (for you) that you do not even know about. (16:9) It rests with Allah alone to show you the Right Way, even when there are many crooked ways. Had He so willed, He would have (perforce) guided you all aright. (16:10) He it is Who sends down water for you from the sky out of which you drink and out of which grow the plants on which you pasture your cattle, (16:11) and by virtue of which He causes crops and olives and date-palms and grapes and all kinds of fruit to grow for you. Surely in this there is a great Sign for those who reflect. (16:12) He has subjected for you the night and the day and the sun and the moon and the stars have also been made subservient by His command. Surely there are Signs in this for those who use their reason. (16:13) And there are also Signs for those who take heed in the numerous things of various colours that He has created for you on earth. (16:14) And He it is Who has subjected the sea tha
