Translation of Verse 20-27

20. One of His signs is that He created you from dust, then-behold! -you are human beings spreading over ˹the earth˺.

21. And one of His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find comfort in them. And He has placed between you compassion and mercy. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect.

22. And one of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colours. Surely in this are signs for those of ˹sound˺ knowledge.

23. And one of His signs is your sleep by night and by day ˹for rest˺ as well as your seeking His bounty ˹in both˺. Surely in this are signs for people who listen.

24. And one of His signs is that He shows you lightning, inspiring ˹you with˺ hope and fear. ⁸²⁵ And He sends down rain from the sky, reviving the earth after its death. Surely in this are signs for people who understand.

25. And one of His signs is that the heavens and the earth persist by His command. Then when He calls you out of the earth just once, you will instantly come forth.

26. And to Him belong all those in the heavens and the earth-all are subject to His Will. ⁸²⁶

27. And He is the One Who originates the creation then will resurrect it-which is even easier for Him. ⁸²⁷ To Him belong the finest attributes in the heavens and the earth. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise.
