Say thou: “Travel in the earth and see how was the final outcome of those who were before; most of them were idolaters.”

43.

So set thou thy face towards the right doctrine before there comes a day — of which there is no repelling — from God; that day will they be separated.

44.

Whoso denies, upon him is his denial; and whoso works righteousness, then are they preparing for themselves,

45.

That He might reward those who heed warning and do righteous deeds of His bounty; He loves not the false claimers of guidance.

46.

And among His proofs is that He sends the winds as bearers of glad tidings, that He might let you taste of His mercy, and that the ships might run by His command, and that you might seek of His bounty, and that you might be grateful.

47.

(And We sent before thee messengers to their people, and they brought them clear signs; then We took vengeance on those who were lawbreakers; and it was binding upon Us to help the believers.)

48.

God is He who sends the winds, that they stir up a cloud, and He spreads it in the sky as He wills; and He makes it pieces and thou seest the rain come forth from the midst of it; then when He makes it fall on whom He wills of His servants they rejoice

49.

Though they were, before it was sent down upon them — before that — in despair!

50.

So look thou at the effects of the mercy of God, how He gives life to the earth after its death: that is the Quickener of the Dead, and He is over all things powerful.
