۞ O men, you are the ones that have need of God; He is the All-sufficient, the All-laudable. 15 If He will, He can put you away and bring a new creation; 16 And with Allah that shall not be hard. 17 And a burdened soul cannot bear the burden of another and if one weighed down by burden should cry for (another to carry) its burden, not aught of it shall be carried, even though he be near of kin. You warn only those who fear their Lord in secret and keep up prayer; and whoever purifies himself, he purifies himself only for (the good of) his own soul; and to Allah is the eventual coming. 18 And the blind and the seeing are not alike 19 And neither are darkness and brightness! 20 nor the [cooling] shade and the scorching heat: 21 And not equal are the living and the dead. Indeed, Allah causes to hear whom He wills, but you cannot make hear those in the graves. 22 You (Prophet Muhammad) are but a warner. 23 We have sent you with the truth, to give glad tidings and to warn. Never has there been a community to which an admonisher was not sent. 24 And if they call you a liar, so did those before them indeed call (their apostles) liars; their apostles had come to them with clear arguments, and with scriptures, and with the illuminating book. 25 In the end did I punish those who rejected Faith: and how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)! 26
