2.21 - O people! Worship your Lord Who created you and those before you, that you may fear. 2.22 - Who made for you the earth a bed and the sky a structure, and sent down from the sky water, and brought forth thereby all the plants produce, a provision for you. So do not make to Allah rivals while you know. 2.23 - And if you are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down to Our servant, then bring forth a sura like it and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. 2.24 - And if you do not do, and you will never be able to do, then fear the fire whose fuel is the people and the stones; prepared for the unbelievers. 2.25 - And give good tidings to those who have believed and done good deeds that for them are gardens beneath which rivers flow; whenever they are provided from it a provision of a planet produce, they will say: This is what was provided to us before. And they were given the like of it; and for them therein are purified spouses, and they are therein abiding. 2.26 - Indeed, Allah is not shy to strike an example that of a mosquito or what is above it; as for those who have believed, they know that it is the truth from their Lord, and as for those who have disbelieved, they say: What did Allah want by this example? He misguides many thereby and He guides many thereby. And He does not misguide thereby except the disobedient. 2.27 - Those who break the covenant of Allah after ratifying it and sever what Allah has commanded to be joined, and make mischief in the land, those are the ones who are losers. 2.28 - How do you disbelieve in Allah and you were dead and He gave you life, then He will cause you to die, then He will give you life, then to Him you will return. 2.29 - It is He Who created for you all that which is in the earth, moreover He turned to the sky and formed them seven heavens, and He is, of everything, Knowing. 2.30 - And when your Lord said to the angels: I am going to place on earth a successor. They said: Will You place on it one who makes mischief therein and sheds blood, while we glorify with Your praise and sanctify You? He said: Indeed, I know what you do not know.
