The Bee (Al-nahl)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ God's help will certainly support (the believers), so pagans do not (seek) to hasten it. God is too Glorious and Exalted to be considered equal to idols. 1 He sends the angels with the Spirit to carry His orders to whichever of His servants He wants so that they would warn people that He is the only God and that people must have fear of Him. 2 He has created the heavens and the earth for a genuine purpose. He is too Exalted to be considered equal to anything else. 3 He created man from a drop of fluid, yet he is an open quarreller! 4 He has created cattle for you: from them you derive food and clothing and numerous other benefits; 5 There is life and cheer for you as you drive them home in the evening, and lead them out in the morning to graze. 6 And they bear your loads to a city which ye could not reach except with travail of souls; verily your Lord is Kind, Merciful. 7 And He hath created horses and mules and asses that ye may ride there on, and as an adornment; and He createth that which ye know not. 8 It is for Allah to show the way. Some swerve from it, but had He willed, He would have guided all of you. 9
