Az-Zukhruf

Ḥā, Meem.

By the clear Book,

Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur’ān that you might understand.

And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.

And how many a prophet We sent among the former peoples,

But there would not come to them a prophet except that they used to ridicule him.

And We destroyed greater than them in [striking] power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded.

And if you should ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "They were created by the Exalted in Might, the Knowing,"

[The one] who has made for you the earth a bed and made for you upon it roads that you might be guided
