Dr. Mustafa Khattab The command of Allah is at hand, so do not hasten it. Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate ˹with Him in worship˺!

Dr. Mustafa Khattab He created humans from a sperm-drop, then—behold!—they openly challenge ˹Him˺.

16:5

Dr. Mustafa Khattab And they carry your loads to ˹distant˺ lands which you could not otherwise reach without great hardship. Surely your Lord is Ever Gracious, Most Merciful.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab It is upon Allah ˹alone˺ to ˹clearly˺ show the Straight Way. Other ways are deviant. Had He willed, He would have easily imposed guidance upon all of you.
