GOD’S SIGNS
Your Lord is God, who created the skies and the
earth in six periods, then ascended His Throne. He
throws the veil of night over day. Swiftly they
follow one another. The sun, moon and stars are
subservient by His command. His is the creation,
His is the command. Blessed be God, the Lord of
the worlds. Call on your Lord humbly and
secretly; He does not love the transgressors. Do
not work corruption in the land after things have
been set right. Pray to Him fearfully, eagerly.
God’s mercy is within reach of the righteous. He
sends forth the winds as harbingers of His mercy
till, when they bear a heavy cloud, We drive it to a
dead land and cause rain to descend thereon,
bringing forth all manner of fruit. Thus We will
raise the dead to life; perchance you will take
heed. And as for the good land; its vegetation
comes forth by the leave of its Lord. But poor and
scant are the fruits which spring from barren soil.
