With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace. 47 And the earth have We spread out wide - and how well have We ordered it! 48 And We created pairs of everything that you may contemplate. 49 So turn to God. I give you a clear warning from Him. 50 And make not another an object of worship with Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open! 51 [But] thus it is: never yet came any apostle to those who lived before their time but they said, "A spellbinder, ["sorcerer" is he,] or a madman!" 52 Have they, perchance, handed down this [way of thinking] as a legacy unto one another? Nay, they are people filled with overweening arrogance! 53 So withdraw from them (O Muhammad), for thou art in no wise blameworthy, 54 yet go on reminding [all who would listen]: for, verily, such a reminder will profit the believers. 55 I have not created mankind and jinn except to worship Me. 56 I do not desire provision from them, nor do I desire that they should feed Me. 57 Indeed it is Allah, Who is the Greatest Sustainer, the Strong, the Able. 58 And indeed for these unjust is also a turn of punishment, like that of their companions – so they must not ask Me to hasten. 59 So woe to the unbelievers, for that day of theirs that they are promised. 60
