43:11 And it is He Who sends down rain from the sky in due measure, by which We revive dead land. This is how you will be brought forth [from the grave].

43:12 And it is He Who created all pair of things[1], and made for you ships and animals on which you ride,

43:13 so that you may settle yourselves on their backs, then remember the blessings of your Lord when you have settled thereupon and say, “Glory be to Him Who has subjected this for us, for we could not have done it by ourselves[1].

43:14 It is to our Lord that we will surely return.”

43:15 Yet they ascribe to Him some of His slaves as offspring[1]. Indeed, man is clearly ungrateful.

43:17 When one of them is given tidings of [a baby girl] the like of which he ascribes to the Most Compassionate, his face darkens as he suppresses his rage.

43:18 Or [do they ascribe to Allah] one who is brought up in ornaments and is not able to present a clear argument in disputation?

43:19 They regard the angels, who are slaves of the Most Compassionate, as female. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be written, and they will be questioned!

43:20 They say, “If the Most Compassionate had willed, we would not have worshiped them.” They have no knowledge of that; they do nothing but conjecture.

43:21 Or have We given them a Book before this [Qur’an], to which they are holding fast?

43:22 They rather say, “We found our forefathers on a path, and we are seeking guidance in their footsteps.”
