25:44 Do you think that most of them hear or understand?[1] They are just like cattle[2], rather they are further astray from the right way.

25:45 Do you not see how your Lord extends the shade? If He had willed, He could have made it still. Then We made the sun an indication of it[1].

25:46 Then We gradually draw it towards Us [i.e., Then the sun climbs up]?

25:47 It is He Who has made the night as a garment[1] for you, and made sleep for rest; and has made daytime for returning to life[2].

25:48 It is He Who sends the winds as harbingers before His mercy, and We send down from the sky pure water,

25:49 so that We may revive therewith a dead land, and quench the thirst of countless beasts and humans We have created.

25:50 We distribute it among them so that they may take heed[1], but most people persist in their ingratitude.

25:51 If We had willed, We could have sent to each town a warner[1].

25:52 So do not obey the disbelievers, but strive against them with this [Qur’an] a great striving.

25:53 It is He Who merges the two bodies of water: one fresh and palatable and the other salty and bitter, and He has made between them a barrier and an insurmountable partition[1].

25:54 It is He Who created human beings from water[1], then made between them bonds of kinship and marriage, for your Lord is Most Capable.

25:55 Yet they worship besides Allah that which can neither benefit nor harm them; the disbeliever always collaborates against his Lord[1].
