النحل

[1]GOD'S JUDGMENT is [bound to] come: do not, therefore, call for its speedy advent! Limitless is He in His glory and sublimely exalted above anything to which men may ascribe a share in His divinity!

[10]It is He who sends down water from the skies; you drink thereof, and thereof [drink] the plants upon which you pasture your beasts;
