Allah.
16:53
And ye have no good thing but is from Allah: and moreover, when ye are touched by distress, unto Him ye cry with
groans;
16:54
Yet, when He removes the distress from you, behold! some of you turn to other gods to join with their Lord-
16:55
(As if) to show their ingratitude for the favours we have bestowed on them! then enjoy (your brief day): but soon will
ye know (your folly)!
16:56
And they (even) assign, to things they do not know, a portion out of that which We have bestowed for their
sustenance! By Allah, ye shall certainly be called to account for your false inventions.
16:57
And they assign daughters for Allah! - Glory be to Him! - and for themselves (sons,- the issue) they desire!
16:58
When news is brought to one of them, of (the birth of) a female (child), his face darkens, and he is filled with inward
grief!
16:59
With shame does he hide himself from his people, because of the bad news he has had! Shall he retain it on (sufferance
and) contempt, or bury it in the dust. Ah! what an evil (choice) they decide on.
16:60
To those who believe not in the Hereafter, applies the similitude of evil: to Allah applies the highest similitude: for He is
the Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom.
