⁵⁰ So look thou at the effects¹ of the mercy of God, how He gives life to the earth after its death: that is the Quickener of the Dead, and He is over all things powerful.

⁵¹ And if We send a wind, and they see it¹ turn yellow, they would continue after that² to deny.

⁵² And thou wilt not make the dead to hear, nor wilt thou make the deaf hear the call, when they turn and go.¹

⁵³ And thou wilt not guide the blind out of their error. Thou wilt only make hear¹ him who believes in² Our proofs,³ so they are submitting.⁴

⁵⁴ God is He who created you of weakness, then appointed He, after weakness, strength; then He appointed, after strength, weakness and white hair. He creates what He wills; and He is the Knowing, the Powerful.

⁵⁵ And the day the Hour strikes, the lawbreakers will swear that they had tarried but an hour; thus were they deluded.

⁵⁶ But those given knowledge and faith will say: “You have tarried concerning¹ the Writ² of God³ until the Day of Resurrection — so this is the Day of Resurrection, but you knew not.”

⁵⁷ So, that day, their excuses will not profit those who do wrong, nor will they be allowed to make amends.

⁵⁸ And We have struck for men in this Qur’an¹ every² similitude.³ And if thou come to them with a proof,⁴ those who ignore warning⁵ will say: “You⁶ are only creators of vanity.”

⁵⁹ Thus does God seal the hearts of those who know not.

⁶⁰ And be thou patient; the promise of God is true.¹ And let not those who are not certain² sway³ thee.
