Say: "Who is it that sustains you (in life) from the sky and from the earth? or who is it that has power over hearing and sight? And who is it that brings out the living from the dead and the dead from the living? and who is it that rules and regulates all affairs?" They will soon say, "Allah". Say, "will ye not then show piety (to Him)?"

Say: "Of your 'partners' is there any that can give any guidance towards truth?" Say: "It is Allah Who gives guidance towards truth, is then He Who gives guidance to truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself) unless he is guided? what then is the matter with you? How judge ye?"

Or, Who has created the heavens and the earth, and Who sends you down rain from the sky? Yea, with it We cause to grow well-planted orchards full of beauty of delight: it is not in your power to cause the growth of the trees in them. (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay, they are a people who swerve from justice.

Or, Who has made the earth firm to live in; made rivers in its midst; set thereon mountains immovable; and made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing water? (can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay, most of them know not.

Or, Who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him, and Who relieves its suffering, and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Little it is that ye heed!

Or, Who guides you through the depths of darkness on land and sea, and Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His Mercy? (Can there be another) god besides Allah?- High is Allah above what they associate with Him!

Or, Who originates creation, then repeats it, and who gives you sustenance from heaven and earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Say, "Bring forth your argument, if ye are telling the truth!"

Is one who worships devoutly during the hour of the night prostrating himself or standing (in adoration), who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places his hope in the Mercy of his Lord - (like one who does not)? Say: "Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition.

Nay, who is there that can help you, (even as) an army, besides (Allah) Most Merciful? In nothing but delusion are the Unbelievers.

Or who is there that can provide you with Sustenance if He were to withhold His provision? Nay, they obstinately persist in insolent impiety and flight (from the Truth).

Is then one who walks headlong, with his face grovelling, better guided,- or one who walks evenly on a Straight Way?

你说：“谁从天上和地上给你们提供给养？谁主持你们的听觉和视觉？谁使活物从死物中生出？谁使死物从活物中生出？谁管理事物？”他们要说：“真主。”你说：“难道你们不敬畏他吗？

你说：“你们的配主有能导人于真理的吗？”你说：“真主能导人于真理。是能导人于真理的更宜于受人顺从呢？还是须受引导才能遵循正道的，更宜于受人顺从呢？你们怎么啦？你们怎么这样判断呢？”

是那天地的创造者（更好），他为你们从云中降下雨水，以培植美丽的园圃，而你们不能使园圃中的树木生长。除真主外，难道还有应受崇拜的吗？不然，他们是悖谬的民众。

还是以大地为安居之所，使诸河流贯其间，使诸山镇压其上，并在两海之间设一个屏障者呢？除真主外，难道还有应受崇拜的吗？不然，他们大半不知道。

还是那答应受难者的祈祷，而解除其灾害，且以你们为大地的代治者呢？除真主外，难道还有应受崇拜的吗？你们很少觉悟。

还是那在陆海的重重黑暗中引导你们，在降其恩惠之前，使风为传佳音者呢？除真主外，难道还有应受崇拜的吗？真主超乎他们用来配他的。

还是那创造万物，然后加以复造，并从天上地下供你们给养者呢？除真主外，难道还有应受崇拜的吗？你说：“你们拿你们的证据来吧，如果你们是诚实的。”

（景况更好的，是你呢？）还是在夜间专心事主，叩头立正，谨防后世，希望主恩的人呢？”你说：“有知识的与无知识的相等吗？惟有理智的人能觉悟。”

除了真主援助你们外，还有谁能做你们的援军呢？你们只陷於自欺之中。

谁能供给你们呢？如果至仁主扣留他的给养。不然，他们固执著骄傲和勃逆。

究竟谁更能获得引导呢？是匍匐而行的人呢？还是在正路上挺身而行的人呢？
