Alif, Lām, Meem, Rā.¹ These are the verses of the Book; and what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, but most of the people do not believe.

It is Allāh who erected the heavens without pillars that you [can] see; then He established Himself above the Throne¹ and made subject² the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. He arranges [each] matter; He details the signs that you may, of the meeting with your Lord, be certain.

And it is He who spread the earth and placed therein firmly set mountains and rivers; and from all of the fruits He made therein two mates; He causes the night to cover the day. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

And within the land are neighboring plots and gardens of grapevines and crops and palm trees, [growing] several from a root or otherwise,¹ watered with one water; but We make some of them exceed others in [quality of] fruit. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason.

And if you are astonished,¹ [O Muḥammad] - then astonishing is their saying, "When we are dust, will we indeed be [brought] into a new creation?" Those are the ones who have disbelieved in their Lord, and those will have shackles² upon their necks, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
