They say: "That which is good." For those who do good in this world, there is good, and the home of the Hereafter will be better. And excellent indeed will be the home (i.e. Paradise) of the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2). (An-Nahl 16:30) |

Then, those who are preferred will by no means hand over their wealth and properties to those (slaves) whom their right hands possess, so that they may be equal with them in respect thereof. Do they then deny the Favour of Allāh? (An-Nahl 16:71) |

Do they then believe in false deities and deny the Favour of Allāh (by not worshipping Allāh Alone). (An-Nahl 16:72) |
| Wa Ya`budūna Min Dūni Al-Lahi Mā Lā Yamliku Lahum Rizqāan Mina As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'Arđi Shay'āan Wa Lā Yastaţī`ūna | And they worship others besides Allāh, such as do not and cannot own any provision for them from the heavens or the earth. (An-Nahl 16:73) |
| Falā Tađribū Lillahi Al-'Amthāla 'Inna Al-Laha Ya`lamu Wa 'Antum Lā Ta`lamūna | So put not forward similitudes for Allāh (as there is nothing similar to Him, nor He resembles anything). Truly! Allāh knows and you know not. (An-Nahl 16:74) |

Can they be equal? (By no means, not). All the praises and thanks be to Allāh. Nay! (But) most of them know not. (An-Nahl 16:75) |

Is such a man equal to one (believer in the Islāmic Monotheism) who commands justice, and is himself on a Straight Path? (An-Nahl 16:76) |

Thus does He perfect His Grace unto you, that you may submit yourselves to His Will (in Islām). (An-Nahl 16:81) |

These are our partners whom we used to invoke besides you." But they will throw back their word at them (and say): "Surely! You indeed are liars!" (An-Nahl 16:86) |

Allāh only tests you by this [i.e who obeys Allāh and fulfills Allāh's Covenant and who disobeys Allāh and breaks Allāh's Covenant]. And on the Day of Resurrection, He will certainly make clear to you that wherein you used to differ [i.e. a believer confesses and believes in the Oneness of Allāh and in the Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad SAW which the disbeliever denies it and that was their difference amongst them in the life of this world]. (An-Nahl 16:92) |

The tongue of the man they refer to is foreign, while this (the Qur'ān) is a clear Arabic tongue. (An-Nahl 16:103) |
