Sura 16, The Bee (Al-Nahl) 16:0 – 16:6

[16:0] In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

16:1 GOD’s command has already been issued (and everything has already been written), so do not rush it.* Be He glorified; the Most High, far above any idols they set up.

*16:1 Everything is already recorded (57:22). See also Appendix 14.

16:2 He sends down the angels with the revelations, carrying His commands, to whomever He chooses from among His servants: “You shall preach that there is no other god beside Me; You shall reverence Me.”

16:3 He created the heavens and the earth for a specific purpose. He is much too High, far above any idols they set up.

16:4 He created the human from a tiny drop, then he turns into an ardent opponent.
