:27. They speak not before He speaks, and they act (in all things) by His Command.
:28. He knows what is before them, and what is behind them, and they offer no intercession except for those who are acceptable, and they stand in awe and reverence of His (Glory).

:31. And We have set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with them, and We have made therein broad highways (between mountains) for them to pass through: that they may receive Guidance.
:32. And We have made the heavens as a canopy well guarded: yet do they turn away from the Signs which these things (point to)!
:33. It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course.
:34. We granted not to any man before thee permanent life (here): if then thou shouldst die, would they live permanently?
:35. Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. to Us must ye return.
