سورة الفاتحة

Saheeh International

16:15 And He has cast into the earth firmly set mountains, lest it shift with you, and [made] rivers and roads, that you may be guided,

16:16 And landmarks. And by the stars they are [also] guided.[694]

16:17 Then is He who creates like one who does not create? So will you not be reminded?

16:18 And if you should count the favors of Allāh, you could not enumerate them. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

16:19 And Allāh knows what you conceal and what you declare.

16:20 And those they invoke other than Allāh create nothing, and they [themselves] are created.

16:21 They are [in fact] dead,[695] not alive, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.

16:22 Your god is one God. But those who do not believe in the Hereafter - their hearts are disapproving, and they are arrogant.

16:23 Assuredly, Allāh knows what they conceal and what they declare. Indeed, He does not like the arrogant.

16:24 And when it is said to them, "What has your Lord sent down?" they say, "Legends of the former peoples,"

16:25 That they may bear their own burdens [i.e., sins] in full on the Day of Resurrection and some of the burdens of those whom they misguide without [i.e., by lack of] knowledge. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear.

16:26 Those before them had already plotted, but Allāh came at [i.e., uprooted] their building from the foundations, so the roof fell upon them from above them,[696] and the punishment came to them from where they did not perceive.
