16.1 . The commandment of Allah will come to pass , so seek not ye to hasten it . Glorified and Exalted be He above all that they associate ( with Him ) .

16.2 . He sendeth down the angels with the Spirit of His command unto whom He will of His bondmen , ( saying ) : Warn mankind that there is no god save Me , so keep your duty unto Me .

16.3 . He hath created the heavens and the earth with truth . High be He exalted above all that they associate ( with Him ) .

16.4 . He hath created man from a drop of fluid , yet behold! he is an open opponent .

16.5 . And the cattle hath He created , whence ye have warm clothing and uses , and whereof ye eat .

16.6 . And wherein is beauty for you , when ye bring them home , and when ye take them out to pasture .

16.7 . And they bear your loads for you unto a land ye could not reach save with great trouble to yourselves . Lo! your Lord is Full of Pity , Merciful .

16.8 . And horses and mules and asses ( hath He created ) that ye may ride them , and for ornament . And He createth that which ye know not .

16.9 . And Allah ' s is the direction of the way , and some ( roads ) go not straight . And had He willed He would have led you all aright .

16.10 . He it is Who sendeth down water from the sky , whence ye have drink , and whence are trees on which ye send your beasts to pasture .
