Do you not realize that Allah is glorified by whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and even by the birds in formation? Each knows its prayer and its manner of praise. Allah knows well what they do.
To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and to Allah is the ultimate return.
Have you not seen how Allah propels the clouds, then brings them together, then piles them into a heap, and you see rain drops emerging from its midst? How He brings down loads of hail from the sky, striking with it whomever He wills, and diverting it from whomever He wills? The flash of its lightning almost snatches the sight away.
Allah alternates the night and the day. In that is a lesson for those who have insight.
Allah created every living creature from water. Some of them crawl on their bellies, and some walk on two feet, and others walk on four. Allah creates whatever He wills. Allah is Capable of everything.
We sent down enlightening revelations, and Allah guides whomever He wills to a straight path.
And they say, "We have believed in Allah and the Messenger, and we obey," but some of them turn away afterwards. These are not believers.
And when they are called to Allah and His Messenger, in order to judge between them, some of them refuse.
But if justice is on their side, they accept it willingly.
Is there sickness in their hearts? Or are they suspicious? Or do they fear that Allah may do them injustice? Or His Messenger? In fact, they themselves are the unjust.
