16:36
For We assuredly sent amongst every People a messenger, (with the Command), "Serve Allah, and eschew Evil": of
the People were some whom Allah guided, and some on whom error became inevitably (established). So travel
through the earth, and see what was the end of those who denied (the Truth).
16:37
If thou art anxious for their guidance, yet Allah guideth not such as He leaves to stray, and there is none to help them.
16:38
They swear their strongest oaths by Allah, that Allah will not raise up those who die: Nay, but it is a promise (binding)
on Him in truth: but most among mankind realise it not.
16:39
(They must be raised up), in order that He may manifest to them the truth of that wherein they differ, and that the
rejecters of Truth may realise that they had indeed (surrendered to) Falsehood.
16:40
For to anything which We have willed, We but say the word, "Be", and it is.
16:41
To those who leave their homes in the cause of Allah, after suffering oppression,- We will assuredly give a goodly
home in this world; but truly the reward of the Hereafter will be greater. If they only realised (this)!
16:42
(They are) those who persevere in patience, and put their trust on their Lord.
16:43
And before thee also the messengers We sent were but men, to whom We granted inspiration: if ye realise this not, ask
of those who possess the Message.
16:44
