˹He is the One˺ Who has made the earth a place of settlement for you and the sky a canopy; and sends down rain from the sky, causing fruits to grow as a provision for you. So do not knowingly set up equals to Allah ˹in worship˺.

O humanity! Worship your Lord, Who created you and those before you, so that you may become mindful ˹of Him˺.

It is as if the lightning were about to snatch away their sight. Whenever lightning strikes, they walk in its light, but when darkness covers them, they stand still. Had Allah willed, He could have taken away their hearing and sight. Surely Allah is Most Capable of everything.

They are ˹wilfully˺ deaf, dumb, and blind, so they will never return ˹to the Right Path˺.

Their example is that of someone who kindles a fire, but when it lights up all around them, Allah takes away their light, leaving them in complete darkness—unable to see.

They are the ones who trade guidance for misguidance. But this trade is profitless, and they are not ˹rightly˺ guided.

Allah will throw their mockery back at them, leaving them to continue wandering blindly in their defiance.

When they meet the believers they say, “We believe.” But when alone with their evil associates they say, “We are definitely with you; we were only mocking.”
