THE QUR'ÂN.
XXX, 10-21.
[10] God produces a creation, then He makes it go back again, then unto Him shall ye return.
And on the day when the Hour shall rise, the sinners shall be confused ; and they shall not have amongst their partners intercessors; and their partners shall they deny.
And on the day when the Hour shall rise, on that day shall they be scattered apart; and as for those who believe and do right, they in the garden shall be joyful; [15] and as for those who misbelieved and said our signs and the meeting of the hereafter were lies, they shall be in the torment arraigned.
Celebrated be the praises of God, when ye are in the evening and when ye are in the morning! for to Him belongs praise in the heavens and the earth! and at the evening, and when ye are at noon.
He brings forth the living from the dead, and brings forth the dead from the living; and He quickens the earth after its death, and thus shall ye too be brought forth.
And of His signs is this, that He hath created you from dust; then, behold, ye are mortals who are spread abroad.
[20] And of His signs is this, that He hath created for you of yourselves wives with whom ye may cohabit; He has made between you affection and pity. Verily, in that are signs unto a people who reflect.
And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your tongues and colours; verily, in that are signs unto the worlds ?.
1 Or, according to another reading, 'unto those who know;' cf. Part II, p. 122, line 2.
