۞ O men, you are the ones that have need of God; He is the All-sufficient, the All-laudable. 15 If He will, He could destroy you and bring about a new creation. 16 This would not cost God dear at all. 17 No one who carries a burden bears another's load; and even if the burdened soul cry out for help none will carry the least of its burden, however close a relative it may be. You can only warn those who fear their Lord in secret and fulfil their devotional obligations. Whoever grows in goodness does so for himself. To God is the journeying back. 18 And the blind and the sighted are not equal! 19 the shadows and the light, 20 And neither are the shadow and the hot sunshine! 21 nor are the living and the dead. God makes to listen whomever He wants. (Muhammad), you cannot make people in the graves to listen. 22 thou art nothing but a warner. 23 Surely We have sent you with the truth as a bearer of good news and a warner; and there is not a people but a warner has gone among them. 24 If they reject you, so did their predecessors. Messengers came to them with clear signs, with scriptures, and with the enlightening Book, 25 Then did I punish those who disbelieved, so how was the manifestation of My disapproval? 26
