It is Allah Who created you from one being, and of the same species He made his mate, so that he may have a tranquil life with her. Then when a man covered a woman, she bore a light burden with which she moved about. But when she became heavy with it, both of them prayed together to Allah, their Lord: "If Thou givest us a sound child, we will be grateful to Thee. "

But when Allah gave them a child of sound body and sound mind, they both began to associate partners with Allah in His favor, but Allah is exalted far above what they associate with Him.

How foolish are these people! They associate with Him partners who do not create anything but are themselves created,

who cannot help them nor have power to help themselves.

If you invite them to follow the Right Way, they will not follow you; it will be all the same for you whether you call them or keep silent.

Those whom you invoke besides Allah are mere servants of Allah like you: just invoke them, and, if what you say of them be true, they will answer your prayers.

Have they feet that they should walk with them? Or have they hands that they should hold with them? Or have they eyes that they should see with them? Or have they ears that they should hear with them? Tell them, O Muhammad. "Call up the partners you have set up; then all of you sit down together and plot against me and give me no respite."

My Protector and Helper is Allah who has sent down this Book, and Who protects the righteous people.

On the contrary, those whom you call beside Allah, cannot help you nor can they help themselves.

Nay, if you call them to the Right Way, they cannot even hear what you say; though it would appear to you that they are looking at you, in fact, they do not see anything."

O Prophet, adopt the way of leniency and forbearance; enjoin what is good and avoid useless discussions with the ignorant people.

If Satan ever excites you to anger, seek refuge in Allah: He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

The fact is that if ever an evil suggestion from Satan so much as touches those, who are God fearing people, they immediately get alerted and clearly see the right course they should adopt.

As regards their (that is, Satans) brethren, they drag theta on and on in their crooked ways and leave nothing undone to seduce them.

O Prophet, when you do not show them a Sign (miracle), they say, "Why have you not chosen a sign for yourself?" Tell them "I follow only the Revelation, which my Lord has sent down to me: this contains lights of insight from your Lord, and is guidance and mercy for those who believe in this.

When the Quran is recited to you. listen to it with attention and keep silence: it tray be that you also are blessed with mercy."

O Prophet, remember your Lord morning and evening, deep in your heart with humility and with fear, and also in a low voice with your tongue: do not be of those who are heedless.

Indeed the angels, who are near to your Lord in rank, do not turn away in pride from His service. They glorify Him. and bow down before Him.
