Corruption has appeared on land and sea, because of what people's hands have earned, in order to make them taste some of what they have done, so that they might return.
Say, "Roam the earth, and observe the fate of those who came before. Most of them were idolaters."
So devote yourself to the upright religion, before there comes from Allah a Day that cannot be averted. On that Day, they will be shocked.
Whoever disbelieves, upon him falls his disbelief. And whoever acts righteously—they are preparing for themselves.
So that He may reward those who have believed and done the righteous deeds out of His bounty. Indeed, He does not love the ungrateful.
And of His signs is that He sends the winds bearing good news, to give you a taste of His mercy, and so that the ships may sail by His command, and so that you may seek of His bounty, and so that you may give thanks.
Before you, We sent messengers to their people. They came to them with clear proofs. Then We took revenge on those who sinned. It is incumbent on Us to help the believers.
Allah is He who sends the winds. They stir up clouds. Then He spreads them in the sky as He wills. And He breaks them apart. Then you see rain drops issuing from their midst. Then, when He makes it fall upon whom He wills of His servants, behold, they rejoice.
Although they were before this—before it was sent down upon them—in despair.
So observe the effects of Allah's mercy—how He revives the earth after it was dead. Indeed, He is the Reviver of the dead. He is Capable of everything.
