16:15 And He has placed into the earth firm mountains, so it does not tremor with you, and there are rivers[1] and pathways so that you may find your way,

16:16 and landmarks and the stars by which they find their way[1].

16:17 Is then He Who creates equal to one who cannot create? Will you not then take heed?

16:18 If you try to count Allah’s favors, you will not be able to enumerate them. Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

16:19 Allah knows all that you conceal and all that you reveal.

16:20 But those whom they invoke besides Allah do not create anything; rather, they themselves are created.

16:21 They are dead, not living[1]; not even knowing when they will be resurrected.

16:22 Your God is One God. But those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts refuse to know, and they are arrogant[1].

16:23 Undoubtedly, Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal[1]. Indeed, He does not like those who are arrogant.

16:24 When it is said to them, “What has your Lord sent down?” They say, “Ancient fables!”

16:25 They will bear their burdens in full on the Day of Resurrection and some burdens of those whom they misled without knowledge[1]. How terrible is what they will bear!

16:26 Those who came before them plotted, so Allah uprooted their buildings from their foundations and the roof fell down on top of them[1], and the punishment came on them from where they could not imagine.
