سورة النحل
3

خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ تَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ

Khalaqa alssamawati waalarda bialhaqqi taAAala AAamma yushrikoona

He has created the heavens and the earth for just ends: Far is He above having the partners they ascribe to Him!

4

خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن نُّطۡفَةٖ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٞ مُّبِينٞ

Khalaqa alinsana min nutfatin faitha huwa khaseemun mubeenun

He has created man from a sperm-drop; and behold this same (man) becomes an open disputer!

5

وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمَ خَلَقَهَاۖ لَكُمۡ فِيهَا دِفۡءٞ وَمَنَٰفِعُ وَمِنۡهَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

WaalanAAama khalaqaha lakum feeha difon wamanafiAAu waminha takuloona

And cattle He has created for you (men): from them ye derive warmth, and numerous benefits, and of their (meat) ye eat.

6

وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا جَمَالٌ حِينَ تُرِيحُونَ وَحِينَ تَسۡرَحُونَ

Walakum feeha jamalun heena tureehoona waheena tasrahoona

And ye have a sense of pride and beauty in them as ye drive them home in the evening, and as ye lead them forth to pasture in the morning.
