We built the heavens by Our authority; and We are the Lord of power and expanse. 47 And the earth, We have made it a wide extent; how well have We then spread (it) out. 48 And We created pairs of everything that you may contemplate. 49 Therefor flee unto Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from him. 50 And set not up another god with Allah; verily I am unto you from Him a warner manifest. 51 Likewise, no Messenger came to those before them, but they said: "A sorcerer or a madman!" 52 Have they arrived at a common understanding concerning this? No; but they are a people given to transgression. 53 Turn away from them. You will not be blamed. 54 But go on reminding them, as reminding benefits the believers. 55 I have not created mankind and jinn except to worship Me. 56 [But withal,] no sustenance do I ever demand of them, nor do I demand that they feed Me: 57 For Allah is He Who gives (all) Sustenance,- Lord of Power,- Steadfast (for ever). 58 And verily, they who are bent on doing evil shall have their share [of evil] like unto the share of their fellows [of old]: so let them not ask Me to hasten [their doom]! 59 Alas the woe for those who refuse to believe in the Day which has been promised them. 60
