۞ People, it is you who are in need of Allah. He is the Rich, the Praised. 15 He could replace you by a new creation if He decided to. 16 that is surely no great matter for God. 17 No one will bear the burden of another. Even if an overburdened soul should ask another to bear a part of his burden, no one, not even a relative, will do so. (Muhammad), you can only warn those who have fear of their Lord without seeing Him and who are steadfast in prayer. Whoever purifies himself, does so for his own good. To God do all things return. 18 The blind and the seeing are not equal, 19 nor are the depths of darkness and the light; 20 Nor are the (chilly) shade and the (genial) heat of the sun: 21 Nor alike are the living and the dead. Verily Allah maketh whomsoever He listeth to hear and thou canst not make them hear who are in the graves. 22 You, [O Muhammad], are not but a warner. 23 Surely We have sent you with the truth as a bearer of good news and a warner; and there is not a people but a warner has gone among them. 24 And if they deny thee, those before them also denied. Their messengers came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), and with the Psalms and the Scripture giving light. 25 Then I seized the disbelievers; so how did denial My rejection turn out? 26
