9* Allah alone can show the right path, but there are ways that turn aside: if Allah Had willed, He could have guided all of you.  
| |10* It is He Who sends down rain from the sky: from it ye drink, and out of it (grows) the vegetation on which ye feed your cattle.  
| |11* With it He produces for you corn, olives, date-palms, grapes and every kind of fruit: verily in this is a sign for those who give thought.  
| |12* He has made subject to you the Night and the Day; the sun and the moon; and the stars are in subjection by His Command: verily in this are Signs for men who are wise.  
| |13* And the things on this earth which He has multiplied in varying colors (and qualities): verily in this is a sign for men who are mindful.  
| |14* It is He Who has made the sea subject, that ye may eat thereof flesh that is fresh and tender, and that ye may extract therefrom ornaments to wear; and thou seest the ships therein that plough the waves, that ye may seek (thus) of the bounty of Allah and that ye may be grateful.  
| |15* And He has set up on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you; and rivers and roads; that ye may guide yourselves;  
| |16* And marks and sign-posts; and by the stars (men) guide themselves.  
| |17* Is then He Who creates like one that creates not? Will ye not receive admonition?  
| |18* If ye would count up the favors of Allah, never would ye be able to number them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
