7.181 . And of those whom We created there is a nation who guide with the Truth and establish justice therewith .

7.182 . And those who deny Our revelations step by step We lead them on from whence they know not .

7.183 . I give them rein ( for ) lo! My scheme is strong .

7.184 . Have they not bethought them ( that ) there is no madness in their comrade? He is but a plain warner .

7.185 . Have they not considered the dominion of the heavens and the earth , and what things Allah hath created , and that it may be that their own term draweth nigh? In what fact after this will they believe?

7.186 . Those whom Allah sendeth astray , there is no guide for them . He leaveth them to wander blindly on in their contumacy .

7.187 . They ask thee of the ( destined ) Hour , when will it come to port . Say : Knowledge thereof is with my Lord only . He alone will manifest it at its proper time . It is heavy in the heavens and the earth . It cometh not to you save unawares . They question thee as if thou couldst be well informed thereof . Say : Knowledge thereof is with Allah only , but most of mankind know not .

7.188 . Say : For myself I have no power to benefit , nor power to hurt , save that which Allah willeth . Had I knowledge of the Unseen , I should have abundance of wealth , and adversity would not touch me . I am but a warner , and a bearer of good tidings unto folk who believe .

7.189 . He it is who did create you from a single soul , and therefrom did make his mate that he might take rest in her . And when he covered her she bore a light burden , and she passed ( unnoticed ) with it , but when it became heavy they cried unto Allah , their Lord , saying : If thou givest unto us aright we shall be of the thankful .

7.190 . But when He gave unto them aright , they ascribed unto Him partners in respect of that which He had given them . High is He exalted above all that they associate ( with Him ) .

7.191 . Attribute they as partners to Allah those who created naught , but are themselves created ,

7.192 . And cannot give them help , nor can they help themselves?

7.193 . And if ye call them to the Guidance , they follow you not . Whether ye call them or are silent is all one to them .

7.194 . Lo! those on whom ye call beside Allah are slaves like unto you . Call on them now , and let them answer you , if ye are truthful!

7.195 . Have they feet wherewith they walk , or have they hands wherewith they hold , or have they eyes wherewith they see , or have they ears wherewith they hear? Say : Call upon your ( so called ) partners ( of Allah ) , and then contrive against me , spare me not!

7.196 . Lo! my Protecting Friend is Allah who revealeth the Scripture . He befriendeth the righteous .

7.197 . They on whom ye call beside Him have no power to help you , nor can they help themselves .

7.198 . And if ye ( Muslims ) call them to the Guidance they hear not ; and thou ( Muhammad ) seest them looking toward thee , but they see not .

7.199 . Keep to forgiveness ( O Muhammad ) , and enjoin kindness , and turn away from the ignorant .

7.200 . And if a slander from the devil wound thee , then seek refuge in Allah . Lo! He is Hearer , Knower .
