6.1 . Praise be to Allah , Who hath created the heavens and the earth , and hath appointed darkness and light . Yet those who disbelieve ascribe rivals unto their Lord .

6.2 . He it is Who hath created you from clay , and hath decreed a term for you . A term is fixed with Him . Yet still ye doubt!

6.3 . He is Allah in the heavens and in the earth . He knoweth both your secret and your utterance , and He knoweth what ye earn .

6.4 . Never came there unto them a revelation of the revelations of Allah but they did turn away from it .

6.5 . And they denied the truth when it came unto them . But there will come unto them the tidings of that which they used to deride .

6.6 . See they not how many a generation We destroyed before them , whom We had established in the earth more firmly than We have established you , and We shed on them abundant showers from the sky , and made the rivers flow beneath them . Yet We destroyed them for their sins , and created after them another generation

6.7 . Had we sent down unto thee ( Muhammad ) ( actual ) writing upon parchment , so that they could feel it with their hands , those who disbelieve would have said : This is naught else than mere magic .

6.8 . They say : Why hath not an angel been sent down unto him? If We sent down an angel , then the matter would be judged ; no further time would be allowed them ( for reflection ) .

6.9 . Had We appointed an angel ( Our messenger ) , We assuredly had made him ( as ) a man ( that he might speak to men ) ; and ( thus ) obscured for them ( the truth ) they ( now ) obscure .

6.10 . Messengers ( of Allah ) have been derided before thee , but that whereat they scoffed surrounded such of them as did deride .

6.11 . Say ( unto the disbelievers ) : Travel in the land , and see the nature of the consequence for the rejecters!

6.12 . Say : Unto whom belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth? Say : Unto Allah . He hath prescribed for Himself mercy , that He may bring you all together to a Day whereof there is no doubt . Those who ruin their own souls will not believe .

6.13 . Unto Him belongeth whatsoever resteth in the night and the day . He is the Hearer , the Knower .

6.14 . Say : Shall I choose for a protecting friend other than Allah , the Originator of the heavens and the earth , who feedeth and is never fed? Say : I am ordered to be the first to surrender ( unto Him ) . And be not thou ( O Muhammad ) of the idolaters

6.15 . Say : I fear , if I rebel against my Lord , the retribution of an Awful Day .

6.16 . He from whom ( such retribution ) is averted on that day ( Allah ) hath in truth had mercy on him . That will be the signal triumph .
