M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

56. Surely (as for) those who dispute about the communications of Allah without any authority that has come to them, there is naught in their breasts but (a desire) to become great which they shall never attain to; therefore seek refuge in Allah, surely He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

57. Certainly the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of the men, but most people do not know.

58. And the blind and the seeing are not alike, nor those who believe and do good and the evil-doer; little is it that you are mindful.

59. Most surely the hour is coming, there is no doubt therein, but most people do not believe.

60. And your Lord says: Call upon Me, I will answer you;* surely those who are too proud for My service shall soon enter hell abased.

Section 7

61. Allah is He Who made for you the night that you may rest therein and the day to see;

* A wonderful order. Try it.
