[13:1] ALMR. These are the proofs of this scripture that has been revealed to you from your Lord truthfully, but most people do not believe.

[13:2] God is the One who raised the vacua without visible pillars, He then decreed equilibrium upon the dominion and subdued the Sun and the Moon; all are floating for a specific interim. He decides all matters, explains the proofs that you may attain certainty regarding meeting your Lord.

[13:3] And He is the One who stretched matter and placed therein stabilizers as well as rivers, and He created from every kind of fruit a pair; the night covers the day. Indeed in these there are signs for people who think.

[13:4] And on the land, there are adjacent lots, gardens of grapes, crops, and date palms, dioecious and monoecious, although they are irrigated by the same water; and We bestowed some better taste over others. Indeed in these there are signs for people who use their intelligence.

[13:5] And if you are surprised, the real surprise is in their utterance as they say, when we die and turn into dust, do we get resurrected anew? These are those who have no faith in their Lord, and they will have shackles around their necks and they are the dwellers of Hell wherein they abide eternally.

[13:6] And they challenge you to prefer evil rather than good, as they followed the examples of the previous generations. And indeed your Lord showers people with forgiveness in spite of their transgression. Indeed your Lord enforces the most severe consequence.

[13:7] And those who disbelieved say; why has not a sign come to him from his Lord? You are not but a warner. And every group has a guide.

[13:8] God knows what every female carries and what every womb bears or gains. And everything is exactly measured by Him.

[13:9] He is the Knower of all secrets and declarations, The All Magnificent, The All High.

[13:10] It is the same if you keep your utterance a secret or reveal it, and hide in the night or act during the day.

[13:11] There are chasers in front of him as well as behind him who keep him from God's command. Surely, God does not change the course of any people unless they change it themselves. And if God ever wills an adversity for a people, then no one can stop it. And they have no one besides Him as an ally.

[13:12] He is the One who shows you the lightning as a source of fear as well as hope; and He initiates the heavy clouds.

[13:13] And the thunder glorifies and praises Him constantly and so do the angels out of fear for Him, and He causes the bolt of lightning to strike anyone He wills and yet they continue arguing about God and indeed He is the ultimate power.

[13:14] Calling upon Him is the right thing, and those who call upon others besides Him, they will never respond to them, like the one who stretches his hands to the water in order to drink it but nothing reaches his mouth. And the calling of the unfaithful is always in vain.

[13:15] And to God prostrates everyone in the vacua and matter, willingly or unwillingly and so do their shadows, day and night.

[13:16] Say, who is the Lord of the vacua and matter? Say, God. Say, are you then going to take lords besides Him who possess no power to benefit or harm even themselves? Say, are the blind and the seer equal, or the light and the darkness? Have they invented partners for God who have created just like His creation that they cannot distinguish? Say, God is the creator of all things, and He is The One, The Supreme.

[13:17] He sends water from the sky, whereby it flows in the rivers in exact measure as the flow causes rising foam. And from what they melt in the fire, they extract jewelry, as well as foam. God thus cites examples for the truth and the falsehood. As for the foam, it goes to waste, however, what benefits people lasts on the land. God thus cites examples.

[13:18] As for those who respond to their Lord, there is goodness. However, those who do not respond to Him, it does not matter, even if they offer twice what is on the land as ransom. They have a difficult reckoning and their abode is Gehenna, and what a miserable abode.

[13:19] Is the one who knows that this is revealed to you from your Lord truthfully the same as the one who is blind? No one takes heed except those who possess vision.

[13:20] These are the ones who are faithful to their promise to God and never break the covenant.

[13:21] And these are the ones who uphold God's command as it is to be upheld and they reverence their Lord and fear the difficult reckoning.

[13:22] And these are those who steadfastly persevere seeking their Lord's face and uphold the contact prayer and spend from what We provide for them, secretly and publicly, and they repay evil with goodness, these have deserved the eternal abode.

[13:23] They enter the Gardens of Eden along with the righteous amongst their parents, their spouses, their children, and the angels come to them from every gate.

[13:24] Peace upon you, because you persevered. Therefore, what a blissful eternal abode.

[13:25] As for those who break their promise to God after pledging to uphold it, and disregard what God has commanded to uphold and they spread corruption throughout the land, they have deserved damnation and awaiting them is the worst abode.

[13:26] God increases the provision for whomever He wills and reduces it. And they rejoiced in this worldly life, however, this worldly life is nil compared to the Hereafter.

[13:27] And the unfaithful say; why did not a sign come to him from his Lord? Say, indeed God sends astray whomever He wills and guides those who repent to Him.

[13:28] These are the ones who have faith and their hearts are reassured when God is mentioned. Absolutely, by mentioning God, hearts will be reassured.

[13:29] These are the ones who have attained faith and lead a righteous life; reserved for them is happiness and a beautiful homecoming.

[13:30] We thus sent you to a community just as We did for the previous communities, in order to recite to them what We have inspired to you for they have no faith in The All Gracious. Say, He is my Lord, there is no god except He; in Him I trust and to Him I repent.

[13:31] It does not matter even if a Quran moves mountains or causes a crack in the land or causes the dead to speak, to God belongs the decision for all matters. Is it not time for the faithful to give up and realize that had God willed, He indeed could have guided all the people? As for those who disbelieved, they continuously suffer disaster because of their fabrications, or disaster hits near their homes, until God's promise is fulfilled. Indeed God never breaks a promise.

[13:32] And indeed messengers before you were ridiculed, thereafter, I gave the unfaithful a reprieve, then I made them suffer, and how terrible was the consequence.

[13:33] Does anyone rival the One who is in control of every soul's earning? And they invented partners for God, say; name them. Are you informing Him about what He does not know on the land that seems so obvious to tell? However, the scheme of the unfaithful has been adorned for them as they repelled from the path. And whomever God sends astray, then, he has no guide.

[13:34] Reserved for them is suffering in this worldly life, and indeed the suffering of the Hereafter is much harsher, and they have no guardian besides God.

[13:35] The example of Paradise promised to the god-fearing, is flowing streams beneath them, its sustenance is continuous and so its shade. This is the eternal abode for the god-fearing, and the eternal abode of the unfaithful is Hell.

[13:36] As for those who have received the scripture, they rejoice in what has been revealed to you, and among the parties are those who repudiate part of it. Say, indeed I have been commanded to worship God, and not to set up any partners for Him. To Him I invite and to Him I return.

[13:37] And We thus revealed to you wisdom in Arabic. And if you ever obey their wishes despite the knowledge that you have received, you will have no one besides God as an ally or a guardian.

[13:38] And indeed We sent messengers before you, and We assigned spouses and descendants for them. And no messenger can produce a sign without God's permission. There is a recorded time for everything.

[13:39] God erases what He wills and establishes, and with Him is the original record.

[13:40] And if We show you some of what We have promised to them or terminate your life, you are only to clearly deliver and the reckoning is Ours.

[13:41] Do they not see that the land is shrinking all around them? God passes judgment; there are no appeals to His ruling. And He is quick in reckoning.

[13:42] And indeed those before them schemed, however, to God belongs all schemes. He knows what every soul earns. And the unfaithful will soon find out who has deserved the eternal abode.

[13:43] And the unfaithful say; you are not a messenger. Say, God suffices as a witness between me and you and those who possess knowledge of the scripture.
