43.1 . Ha . Mim .
43.2 . By the Scripture which maketh plain ,
43.3 . Lo! We have appointed it a Lecture in Arabic that haply ye may understand .
43.4 . And lo! in the Source of Decrees , which We possess , it is indeed sublime , decisive ,
43.5 . Shall We utterly ignore you because ye are a wanton folk?
43.6 . How many a Prophet did We send among the men of old!
43.7 . And never came there unto them a Prophet but they used to mock him .
43.8 . Then we destroyed men mightier than these in prowess ; and the example of the men of old hath gone ( before them ) .
43.9 . And if thou ( Muhammad ) ask them : Who created the heavens and the earth , they will surely answer : The Mighty , the Knower created them ;
43.10 . Who made the earth a resting place for you , and placed roads for you therein , that haply ye may find your way ;
43.11 . And who sendeth down water from the sky in ( due ) measure , and We revive a dead land therewith . Even so will ye be brought forth ;
43.12 . He who created all the pairs , and appointed for you ships and cattle whereupon ye ride .
43.13 . That ye may mount upon their backs , and may remember your Lord ' s favor when ye mount thereon , and may say : Glorified be He Who hath subdued these unto us , and we were not capable ( of subduing them ) ;
43.14 . And lo! unto our Lord we are returning .
43.15 . And they allot to Him a portion of His bondmen! Lo! man is verily a mere ingrate .
43.16 . Or chooseth He daughters of all that He hath created , and honoureth He you with sons?
43.17 . And if one of them hath tidings of that which he likeneth to the Beneficent One , his countenance becometh black and he is full of inward rage .
43.18 . ( Liken they then to Allah ) that which is bred up in outward show , and in dispute cannot make itself plain?
43.19 . And they make the angels , who are the slaves of the Beneficent , females . Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded and they will be questioned .
43.20 . And they say : If the Beneficent One had ( so ) willed , we should not have worshipped them . They have no knowledge whatsoever of that . They do but guess .
