The eyes see Him not, but He seeth the eyes: and He is the Gracious, the Knowing. (vi. 95-103.) XI. It is He who maketh the lightning to appear unto you, [causing] fear and hope _of rain_, and formeth the pregnant clouds. And the thunder proclaimeth His perfection with His praise; and [likewise] the angels, in fear of Him. And He sendeth the thunderbolts, and striketh with them whom He pleaseth, whilst they dispute concerning God; for He is mighty in power.[52] (xiii. 13, 14.) XII. With Him are the keys of the hidden things: none knoweth them but He: and He knoweth whatsoever is on the land and in the sea, and there falleth not a leaf but He knoweth it, nor a grain in the dark parts of the earth, nor a moist thing nor a dry thing, but [it is noted] in a distinct writing.[53] And it is He who taketh your souls at night, and knoweth what ye have gained in the day; then He reviveth you therein,[54] that an appointed time[55] may be fulfilled. Then unto Him shall ye return: then will He declare unto you what ye have done. And He is the Supreme[56] over His servants, and He sendeth watchers over you,[57] until when death cometh unto any one of you, Our messengers take his soul, and they fail not. Then are they[58] returned unto God their Lord, the True.[59] Doth not judgment belong to Him? And He is the most quick of reckoners. SAY,[60] Who delivereth you from the darknesses of the land and of the sea, _when_ ye supplicate Him humbly and in secret, _saying_, ‘If Thou deliver us from these _dangers_, we will assuredly be of [the number of] the thankful’? SAY, God delivereth you from them and from every affliction. (vi. 59-64.) XIII. Verily God will not forgive the associating with Him [any other being as a god], but will forgive other _sins_ unto whom He pleaseth; and whoso associateth [another] with God hath wrought a great wickedness. (iv. 51.) XIV. They[61] say, ‘The Compassionate hath gotten offspring:’ Ye have done an impious thing. It wanteth little but that the heavens be rent thereat, and that the earth cleave asunder, and that the mountains fall down in pieces.[62] _For_ that they have attributed offspring to the Compassionate, when it beseemeth not the Compassionate to get offspring. There is none of all that are in the heavens and the earth but he shall come unto the Compassionate as a servant.[63] He hath known them and numbered them with an _exact_ numbering. And each of them shall come unto Him on the day of resurrection, alone.[64] †Verily those who have believed and have done the things that are right, on them the Compassionate will bestow [His] love. (xix. 91-96.) XV. O men _of Mekkeh_, a parable is propounded, wherefore hearken unto it. Verily, those _idols_ which ye invoke beside God can never create a fly, although they assembled for it: and if the fly carry off from them aught,[65] they cannot recover the same from it. Weak are the seeker and the sought! (xxii. 72.) XVI.
