The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,

And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."

Neither those who disbelieve from the People of the Scripture nor the polytheists wish that any good should be sent down to you from your Lord. But Allah selects for His mercy whom He wills, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty.

Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.

It is He who forms you in the wombs however He wills. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

He selects for His mercy whom He wills. And Allah is the possessor of great bounty.
