Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them? None, except the Merciful holds them. Surely, He sees all things. (19)

Or, who is it that shall be your host to help you, other than the Merciful? Indeed, the unbelievers are only deluded. (20)

Or, who is it that shall provide for you if He withholds His provision? Yet they persist in arrogance and aversion. (21)

What, is he who walks, falling upon his face, more guided than he who walks upright on a Straight Path! (22)

Say: 'It is He who has created you and given to you hearing, sight and hearts but little is it that you thank' (23)

Say: 'It was He who created you, dispersing you in the earth, and to Him you shall be gathered. ' (24)

They ask: 'When will this promise come, if you speak truthfully? ' (25)

Say: 'The knowledge (of that) is with Allah; I am only a clear warner. ' (26)

Then, when they see it drawing near, the faces of the unbelievers will be blackened, and it is said: 'This is what you were promised. ' (27)
