Surah Al-Furqan, Ayah 45 (25:45)
اَلَمۡ تَرَ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ كَيۡفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ لَجَـعَلَهٗ سَاكِنًاۚ ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَا الشَّمۡسَ عَلَيۡهِ دَلِيۡلًاۙ ٤٥
English translation (Pickthall)
Hast thou not seen how thy Lord hath spread the shade - And if He willed He could have made it still - then We have made the sun its pilot;

25:45Hast thou not seen how thy Lord hath spread the shade - And if He willed He could have made it still - then We have made the sun its pilot;
ثُمَّ قَبَضۡنٰهُ اِلَـيۡنَا قَبۡضًا يَّسِيۡرًا ٤٦
25:46Then We withdraw it unto Us, a gradual withdrawal?
وَهُوَ الَّذِىۡ جَعَلَ لَـكُمُ الَّيۡلَ لِبَاسًا وَّالنَّوۡمَ سُبَاتًا وَّجَعَلَ النَّهَارَ نُشُوۡرًا ٤٧
25:47And He it is Who maketh night a covering for you, and sleep repose, and maketh day a resurrection.
وَهُوَ الَّذِىۡۤ اَرۡسَلَ الرِّيٰحَ بُشۡرًۢا بَيۡنَ يَدَىۡ رَحۡمَتِهٖۚ وَاَنۡزَلۡنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً طَهُوۡرًاۙ ٤٨
25:48And He it is Who sendeth the winds, glad tidings heralding His mercy, and We send down purifying water from the sky,
لِّـنُحْیِۦَ بِهٖ بَلۡدَةً مَّيۡتًا وَّنُسۡقِيَهٗ مِمَّا خَلَقۡنَاۤ اَنۡعَامًا وَّاَنَاسِىَّ كَثِيۡرًا ٤٩
25:49That We may give life thereby to a dead land, and We give many beasts and men that We have created to drink thereof.
وَلَـقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنٰهُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ لِيَذَّكَّرُوْا ۖ فَاَبٰٓى اَكۡثَرُ النَّاسِ اِلَّا كُفُوۡرًا ٥٠
25:50And verily We have repeated it among them that they may remember, but most of mankind begrudge aught save ingratitude.
وَلَوۡ شِئۡنَا لَبَـعَثۡنَا فِىۡ كُلِّ قَرۡيَةٍ نَّذِيۡرًاۖ ٥١
25:51If We willed, We could raise up a warner in every village.
فَلَا تُطِعِ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ وَ جَاهِدۡهُمۡ بِهٖ جِهَادًا كَبِيۡرًا ٥٢
25:52So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them herewith with a great endeavour.
وَهُوَ الَّذِىۡ مَرَجَ الۡبَحۡرَيۡنِ هٰذَا عَذۡبٌ فُرَاتٌ وَّهٰذَا مِلۡحٌ اُجَاجٌ ۚ وَجَعَلَ بَيۡنَهُمَا بَرۡزَخًا وَّحِجۡرًا مَّحۡجُوۡرًا ٥٣
25:53And He it is Who hath given independence to the two seas (though they meet); one palatable, sweet, and the other saltish, bitter; and hath set a bar and a forbidding ban between them.
وَهُوَ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَ مِنَ الۡمَآءِ بَشَرًا فَجَعَلَهٗ نَسَبًا وَّ صِهۡرًا ؕ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِيۡرًا ٥٤
25:54And He it is Who hath created man from water, and hath appointed for him kindred by blood and kindred by marriage; for thy Lord is ever Powerful.
وَيَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَنۡفَعُهُمۡ وَلَا يَضُرُّهُمۡؕ وَكَانَ الۡـكَافِرُ عَلٰى رَبِّهٖ ظَهِيۡرًا ٥٥
25:55Yet they worship instead of Allah that which can neither benefit them nor hurt them. The disbeliever was ever a partisan against his Lord.
وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنٰكَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَّنَذِيۡرًا ٥٦
25:56And We have sent thee (O Muhammad) only as a bearer of good tidings and a warner.
قُلۡ مَاۤ اَسۡــَٔـلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ اَجۡرٍ اِلَّا مَنۡ شَآءَ اَنۡ يَّـتَّخِذَ اِلٰى رَبِّهٖ سَبِيۡلًا ٥٧
25:57Say: I ask of you no reward for this, save that whoso will may choose a way unto his Lord.
