Observing and reflecting: these verses call for both, inviting people to travel through the earth and consider the end of the disbelievers and the corrupters. They turn the gaze to the realm of the heavens and the earth, to the rain that revives the land, to the blessings of night and day and to ships sailing on the sea, and they also invite reflection on the Quran.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what was revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and what was revealed before you? They wish to refer legislation to ṭāghūt, while they were commanded to reject it; and Satan wishes to lead them far astray.
Have you not seen those who were told, "Restrain your hands [from fighting] and establish prayer and give zakāh"? But then when battle was ordained for them, at once a party of them feared men as they fear Allāh or with [even] greater fear. They said, "Our Lord, why have You decreed upon us fighting? If only You had postponed [it for] us for a short time." Say, "The enjoyment of this world is little, and the Hereafter is better for he who fears Allāh. And injustice will not be done to you, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date seed]."
