Mishary Rashid Alafasy

An-Nahl

16:73

وَيَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَمۡلِكُ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقًا مِّنَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ شَيۡـًٔا وَّلَا يَسۡتَطِيۡعُوۡنَۚ‏

And they worship besides Allah that which does not possess for them [the power of] provision from the heavens and the earth at all, and [in fact], they are unable

16:74

فَلَا تَضۡرِبُوۡا لِلّٰهِ الۡاَمۡثَالَؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعۡلَمُ وَاَنۡتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ

So do not assert similarities to Allah. Indeed, Allah knows and you do not know

16:75

ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا عَبۡدًا مَّمۡلُوۡكًا لَّا يَقۡدِرُ عَلٰي شَيۡءٍ وَّمَنۡ رَّزَقۡنٰهُ مِنَّا رِزۡقًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ يُنۡفِقُ مِنۡهُ سِرًّا وَّجَهۡرًاؕ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوٗنَؕ اَلۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰهِؕ بَلۡ اَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ

Allah presents an example: a slave [who is] owned and unable to do a thing and he to whom We have provided from Us good provision, so he spends from it secretly and publicly. Can they be equal? Praise to Allah! But most of them do not know

16:76

وَضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلَيۡنِ اَحَدُهُمَا٘ اَبۡكَمُ لَا يَقۡدِرُ عَلٰي شَيۡءٍ وَّهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلٰي مَوۡلٰىهُۙ اَيۡنَمَا يُوَجِّهۡهُّ لَا يَاۡتِ بِخَيۡرٍؕ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِيۡ هُوَۙ وَمَنۡ يَّاۡمُرُ بِالۡعَدۡلِۙ وَهُوَ عَلٰي صِرَاطٍ مُّسۡتَقِيۡمٍࣖ‏

And Allah presents an example of two men, one of them dumb and unable to do a thing, while he is a burden to his guardian. Wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to one who commands justice, while he is on a straight path

16:77

وَلِلّٰهِ غَيۡبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِؕ وَمَا٘ اَمۡرُ السَّاعَةِ اِلَّا كَلَمۡحِ الۡبَصَرِ اَوۡ هُوَ اَقۡرَبُؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ قَدِيۡرٌ

And to Allah belongs the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. And the command for the Hour is not but as a glance of the eye or even nearer. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent

16:78

وَاللّٰهُ اَخۡرَجَكُمۡ مِّنۭۡ بُطُوۡنِ اُمَّهٰتِكُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ شَيۡـًٔاۙ وَّجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمۡعَ وَالۡاَبۡصَارَ وَالۡاَفۡـِٕدَةَۙ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُوۡنَ

And Allah has extracted you from the wombs of your mothers not knowing a thing, and He made for you hearing and vision and intellect that perhaps you would be grateful

16:79

اَلَمۡ يَرَوۡا اِلَي الطَّيۡرِ مُسَخَّرٰتٍ فِيۡ جَوِّ السَّمَآءِؕ مَا يُمۡسِكُهُنَّ اِلَّا اللّٰهُؕ اِنَّ فِيۡ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوۡمٍ يُّؤۡمِنُوۡنَ

Do they not see the birds controlled in the atmosphere of the sky? None holds them up except Allah. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe
