Read in Context

Chapter 16, Page 268, Juz 14

1. The command of Allah is at hand, so do not hasten it. Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate ˹with Him in worship˺! 2. He sends down the angels with revelation by His command to whoever He wills of His servants, ˹stating:˺ “Warn ˹humanity˺ that there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Me, so be mindful of Me ˹alone˺.” 3. He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. Exalted is He above what they associate with Him ˹in worship˺! 4. He created humans from a sperm-drop, then—behold!—they openly challenge ˹Him˺. 5. And He created the cattle for you as a source of warmth, food, and ˹many other˺ benefits. 6. They are also pleasing to you when you bring them home and when you take them out to graze. 7. And they carry your loads to ˹distant˺ lands which you could not otherwise reach without great hardship. Surely your Lord is Ever Gracious, Most Merciful. 8. ˹He also created˺ horses, mules, and donkeys for your transportation and adornment. And He creates what you do not know. 9. It is upon Allah ˹alone˺ to ˹clearly˺ show the Straight Way. Other ways are deviant. Had He willed, He would have easily imposed guidance upon all of you.
