40.61 . Allah it is Who hath appointed for you night that ye may rest therein , and day for seeing . Lo! Allah is a Lord of bounty for mankind , yet most of mankind give not thanks .

40.62 . Such is Allah , your Lord , the Creator of all things . There is no God save Him . How then are ye perverted?

40.63 . Thus are they perverted who deny the revelations of Allah .

40.64 . Allah it is Who appointed for you the earth for a dwelling place and the sky for a canopy , and fashioned you and perfected your shapes , and hath provided you with good things . Such is Allah , your Lord . Then blessed be Allah , the Lord of the Worlds!

40.65 . He is the Living One . There is no God save Him . So pray unto Him , making religion pure for Him ( only ) . Praise be to Allah , the Lord of the Worlds!

40.66 . Say ( O Muhammad ) : I am forbidden to worship those unto whom ye cry beside Allah since there have come unto me clear proofs from my Lord , and I am commanded to surrender to the Lord of the Worlds .

40.67 . He it is Who created you from dust , then from a drop ( of seed ) then from a clot , then bringeth you forth as a child , then ( ordaineth ) that ye attain full strength and afterward that ye become old men though some among you die before and that ye reach an appointed term , that haply ye may understand .

40.68 . He it is who quickeneth and giveth death . When He ordaineth a thing , He saith unto it only : Be! and it is .

40.69 . Hast thou not seen those who wrangle concerning the revelations of Allah , how they are turned away?

40.70 . Those who deny the Scripture and that wherewith we send Our messengers . But they will come to know ,

40.71 . When carcans are about their necks and chains . They are dragged

40.72 . Through boiling waters ; then they are thrust into the Fire .

40.73 . Then it is said unto them : Where are ( all ) that ye used to make partners ( in the Sovereignty )

40.74 . Beside Allah? They say : They have failed us : but we used not to pray to anything before . Thus doth Allah send astray the disbelievers ( in His guidance ) .

40.75 . ( And it is said unto them ) : This is because ye exulted in the earth without right , and because ye were petulant .

40.76 . Enter ye the gates of hell , to dwell therein . Evil is the habitation of the scornful .

40.77 . Then have patience ( O Muhammad ) . Lo! the promise of Allah is true . And whether we let thee see a part of that which We promise them , or ( whether ) We cause thee to die , still unto us they will be brought back .

40.78 . Verily We sent messengers before thee , among them those of whom We have told thee , and some of whom We have not told thee ; and it was not given to any messenger that he should bring a portent cave by Allah ' s leave , but when Allah ' s commandment cometh ( the cause ) is judged aright , and the followers of vanity will then be lost .

40.79 . Allah it is Who hath appointed for you cattle , that ye may ride on some of them , and eat of some

40.80 . ( Many ) benefits ye have from them and that ye may satisfy by their means a need that is in your breasts , and may be borne upon them as upon the ship .
