	Who believe in the Ghayb (Unseen) and perform As-Salah (Iqamat-as-Salah), and spend out of what we have provided for them [i.e. give Zakah, spend on themselves, their parents, their children, their wives, etc., and also give charity to the poor and also in Allah's Cause - Jihad].

	And when it is said to them (hypocrites): "Believe as the people (followers of Muhammad Peace be upon him , Al-Ansar and Al-Muhajirun) have believed," they say: "Shall we believe as the fools have believed?" Verily, they are the fools, but they know not.

	Or like a rainstorm from the sky, wherein is darkness, thunder, and lightning. They thrust their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunder-clap for fear of death. But Allah ever encompasses the disbelievers (i.e. Allah will gather them all together).
20.	Yakadu al-barqu yakhtafu "absarahum (صلي ) kullamaa "ada-“a lahum mashaw fihi wa-“idhaa "azlama 'alayhim qamu walaw shaa-“a Allahu ladhahaba bisam-’ihim wa-absarihim "inna Allaha ‘ala kulli shay-“in qadirun
	The lightning almost snatches away their sight, whenever it flashes for them, they walk therein, and when darkness covers them, they stand still. And if Allah willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Certainly, Allah has power over all things.

	Who has made the earth a resting place for you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down water (rain) from the sky and brought forth therewith fruits as a provision for you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped).
23.	Wa-“in kuntum fi raybinm mimma nazzalna ‘ala ‘abdina fa-“tu bi-suratinm min mithlihi waud-'ushuhadaa-“akum min duni Allahi "in kuntum sadiqina
	And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur-an) to Our slave (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), then produce a Surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allah, if you are truthful.
24.	Fa-“inl lam taf-’alu walan taf-alu fait-taqu aln-nara al-lati waquduha aln-nasu waal-hijaratuh (صلي ) u’iddat lil-kafirina
	But if you do it not, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.
25.	Wabashshiri al-ladhina "amanu wa-’amilu als-salihati "anna lahum jannatin tajri min tahtiha al-anharu (صلي )kullama ruziqu minha min thamaratinr rizqan (لا ) qalu hadha al-ladhi ruziqna min qablu (صلي ) wa-“utu bihi mutashabihan (صلي ) wa-lahum fihaa "azwajunm mutah-haratunah (صلي ) wa-hum fiha khaliduna
	And give glad tidings to those who believe and do righteous good deeds, that for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). Every time they will be provided with a fruit therefrom, they will say: "This is what we were provided with before," and they will be given things in resemblance (i.e. in the same form but different in taste) and they shall have therein Azwajun Mutahharatun (purified mates or wives), (having no menses, stools, urine, etc.) and they will abide therein forever.
26.	"Inna Allaha la yastahyi "any yadriba mathalanm ma ba-’udatan fama fawqaha fa-“amma al-ladhina "amanufa-ya-’lamuna "annahu al-haqqu minr Rabbihim (صلي) wa-“amma al-ladhina kafaru fa-yaquluna madha "aradaAllahu bihadha mathalan yudillu bihi kathiran (ج) wa-yahdi bihi kathiran wama yudillu bihi "illa al-fasiqina
	Verily, Allah is not ashamed to set forth a parable even of a mosquito or so much more when it is bigger (or less when it is smaller) than it. And as for those who believe, they know that it is the Truth from their Lord, but as for those who disbelieve, they say: "What did Allah intend by this parable?" By it He misleads many, and many He guides thereby. And He misleads thereby only those who are Al-Fasiqun (the rebellious, disobedient to Allah).
27.	"Al-ladhina yanquduna ‘ahda Allahi minm ba-’di mithaqihi wa-yaqta-’una maa “amara Allahu bihi "any yusala wa-yufsiduna fi al-“ardi (ج) “ulaa-“ika humu al-khasiruna
	Those who break Allah's Covenant after ratifying it, and sever what Allah has ordered to be joined (as regards Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism, and to practise its laws on the earth and also as regards keeping good relations with kith and kin), and do mischief on earth, it is they who are the losers.
28.	Kayfa takfuruna biAllahi wa-kuntum "amwatan fa-“ahyakum (صلي) thumma yumitukum thumma yuhyikumthumma "ilayhi turja-’una
	How can you disbelieve in Allah? Seeing that you were dead and He gave you life. Then He will give you death, then again will bring you to life (on the Day of Resurrection) and then unto Him you will return.(See V.40:11)
29.	Huwa al-ladhi khalaqa lakum ma fi al-"ardi jami’an thumma istawaa "ila als-sama-“i fasaw-wahunna sab-’a samawatin wa-huwa bikulli shay-“in ‘Alimun
	He it is Who created for you all that is on earth. Then He rose over (Istawa) towards the heaven and made them seven heavens and He is the All-Knower of everything.
30.	Wa-“idh qala Rabbuka lil-malaa-“ikati "inni ja-’ilun fi al-“ardi khalifatanh (صلي) qalu "ataj-’alu fiha many yufsidu fiha wa-yasfiku ald-dimaa-“a wa-nahnu nusabbihu bi-hamdika wa-nuqaddisu laka (صلي) qala "innia-’lamu ma la ta-’lamuna
	And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "Verily, I am going to place (mankind) generations after generations on earth." They said: "Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood, - while we glorify You with praises and thanks and sanctify You." He (Allah) said: "I know that which you do not know."
