Ayah: 15

وَأَلۡقَىٰ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَوَٰسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمۡ وَأَنۡهَٰرٗا وَسُبُلٗا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ

15. He cast into the earth solid mountains, lest it should shake with you, and (made) rivers and roads, so that you may be guided,

Ayah: 16

وَعَلَٰمَٰتٖۚ وَبِٱلنَّجۡمِ هُمۡ يَهۡتَدُونَ

16. And landmarks; and by the star they find their way11.

11. Through the desert or the sea at night.

Ayah: 17

أَفَمَن يَخۡلُقُ كَمَن لَّا يَخۡلُقُۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

17. Is He then Who creates (i.e., Allāh) like him who does not create? Do you not then remember?

Ayah: 18

وَإِن تَعُدُّواْ نِعۡمَةَ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُحۡصُوهَآۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

18. If you would count all of Allah’s Favors, you could never enumerate them12. Indeed, Allāh is certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

12. Allāh deserves our gratitude, “Praise Allâh, and forget not all his blessings."
The countless ways God is at work—assuring us of forgiveness, working healing in our bodies and hearts, letting us experience “love and compassion” and countless “good things” in His creation.
While not all suffering will find complete healing in this lifetime, our hearts can always be renewed by gratitude, for Allah's love is with us.

Ayah: 19

وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعۡلِنُونَ

19. And Allāh knows whatever you conceal and whatever you reveal.

Ayah: 20

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَخۡلُقُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَهُمۡ يُخۡلَقُونَ

20. But those they invoke13 besides Allāh do not create anything, and themselves are created;

13. Whether unseen spirits, demons, or saints.

Ayah: 21

أَمۡوَٰتٌ غَيۡرُ أَحۡيَآءٖۖ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبۡعَثُونَ

21. Dead (are they), not alive, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.

Ayah: 22

إِلَٰهُكُمۡ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مُّنكِرَةٞ وَهُم مُّسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ

22. Your God is (Allāh), One God. But those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts are in denial, and they are (foolishly) bold and arrogant14.

14. Scorning to believe in the Oneness of God and to accept the Truth.

Ayah: 23

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعۡلِنُونَۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُسۡتَكۡبِرِينَ

23. No doubt that Allāh knows whatever they conceal or reveal. Surely He does not like the arrogant.

Ayah: 24

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُم مَّاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

24. When they are told, "What has your Lord revealed?" They say: "Legends of the ancients".

Ayah: 25

لِيَحۡمِلُوٓاْ أَوۡزَارَهُمۡ كَامِلَةٗ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَمِنۡ أَوۡزَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُم بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٍۗ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ

25. That they may bear their burdens entirely on the Day of Resurrection and of the burdens of those whom they lead astray without knowledge.  Unquestionably Evil is that which they bear.

Ayah: 26

قَدۡ مَكَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ فَأَتَى ٱللَّهُ بُنۡيَٰنَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلسَّقۡفُ مِن فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَأَتَىٰهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ

26. Those before them had also devised evil plans, so Allāh came upon their structures from their very foundations, so the roof fell down on top of them, and the torment came to them from where they never perceived.
