The Foreign Ministers of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar, and Egypt expressed their deepest concern regarding the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, which has been exacerbated by severe, harsh, and unstable weather conditions, including heavy rainfall and storms, and compounded by the continued lack of sufficient humanitarian access, acute shortages of essential life-saving supplies, and the slow pace of the entry of essential materials required for the rehabilitation of basic services and the establishment of temporary housing.

We jokingly asked Maresca if this was his newest signing. He looked the part, after all. Young, and already wearing a club tracksuit. ‘Yes!’ Maresca replied. ‘It’s my new centre back!’

BREAKING: MILITARY NEUTRALIZES SUICIDE BOMBERS, FOILS ATTACK IN BORNO

A major catastrophe was averted in Borno State today as troops of the Joint Task Force, Operation Hadin Kai, neutralized three suicide bombers and several armed escorts during a high-stakes operation in Gwoza Local Government Area.
​The operation was carried out along the Guduf–Pulka axis following actionable intelligence that indicated the movement of suicide bombers toward civilian-populated areas.
​Acting on the information, military forces, in collaboration with local volunteer groups, mounted a covert surveillance and tracking mission. This led to the successful interception of the terrorists before they could reach their intended targets.
​According to military sources, the suicide bombers were engaged and neutralized in a controlled encounter, preventing what could have resulted in mass civilian casualties. The troops also engaged the armed terrorists escorting the bombers, inflicting heavy casualties and forcing the surviving elements to flee toward the Mandara Mountains under sustained fire.
​Following the encounter, troops recovered suicide vests and various Improvised Explosive Device (IED) components. These materials were immediately secured and rendered safe by Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams. Further exploitation of the area led to the recovery of four AK-47 rifles abandoned by the fleeing insurgents, while two motorcycles used for logistics were destroyed.
​Preliminary intelligence assessments reveal that the bombers were dispatched from hideouts in the Mandara Mountains by the Ali Ngulde-led Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS) faction of Boko Haram. The faction has continued to attempt the deployment of suicide operatives against soft targets despite ongoing military pressure.
​In response to the foiled plot, the Theatre Command has intensified operations across known terrorist enclaves, focusing on detecting and neutralizing suicide networks through a combination of human intelligence and communication intercepts.
​Authorities have also strengthened collaboration with community-based volunteer groups and other security agencies across Borno and Yobe States to prevent infiltration. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and promptly report any suspicious persons or movements to the nearest security post.

By: Zagazola Makama

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have arrested four suspected ISWAP informants during clearance operations in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa.

Zagazola Makama report that the arrests were carried out at about 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 30 in Garaha and Kakara general areas of Hong LGA.

The report stated that the suspects were apprehended by troops in conjunction with local hunters, following a tip-off.

Those arrested were identified as Chollu Alhaji, Malam Bako Abubakar, Naftali Gabriel and Madaiba Joseph.

According to the sources, the suspects are alleged to have provided intelligence that was instrumental to a successful terrorist attack carried out in Dubang village of Hong LGA on Dec. 29, leading to the death of several residents.

The sources added that the suspects were currently in the custody of the Theatre Prosecution Section and were undergoing investigation.

Troops clear terrorist enclaves, neutralise IEDs in Sambisa offensive

By: Zagazola Makama

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have cleared several terrorist enclaves and neutralised multiple Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs during an ongoing offensive into the Sambisa Forest axis of Borno State.

Sources told Zagazola Makama that the operation, conducted under Operation Desert Sanity V, involved troops of 21 Special Armoured Brigade (SAB) and 26 Task Force Brigade, operating in conjunction with vigilante forces.

According to the source, the troops departed their Harbour Area at about 9:20 a.m. on Dec. 31, and conducted clearance operations along designated withdrawal routes within the Sambisa axis.

“The troops successfully cleared the terrorist enclaves of Garin Kago, Garin Alhaji Bita and Garin Malam Muazu during the operation,” the source said.

The areas were described as active terrorist locations; however, the insurgents reportedly fled before the arrival of the advancing troops.

“Despite the terrorists’ withdrawal, several life-support structures within the enclaves were identified and destroyed in line with operational guidelines,” the source added.

During the withdrawal phase, troops encountered three buried IEDs, which were promptly detonated in situ by the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team without incident.

The troops later returned safely to Brigade Headquarters at about 4:45 p.m., while casualties recorded during the operation were immediately evacuated to the 7 Division Medical Hospital for further medical attention.

The operation forms part of sustained efforts by Operation Hadin Kai to degrade terrorist networks, dismantle logistics bases and deny insurgents freedom of movement within the Sambisa Forest and surrounding areas.

NIGERIAN ARMY POUNDS TERRORIST IN NATIONWIDE OFFENSIVE, NEUTRALIZES 47

The Nigerian Army has recorded major operational successes across several theatres of operation within the last 72 hours, neutralising 47 terrorists, arresting 19 criminal suspects, rescuing over 30 kidnapped victims and recovering a cache of arms, ammunition and other logistics.

These coordinated land and air operations underscore the Nigerian Army’s sustained offensive against terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, and other criminal elements threatening national security.

In the North West and North Central regions, troops conducted aggressive ground operations based on credible intelligence. In Sokoto State, troops from forward operating bases in Binji and Tangaza Local Government Areas (LGAs) neutralised three Lakurawa terrorists during successful ambushes, recovering one AK-47 rifle, a motorcycle, communication radios, mobile phones and other items. Similarly, in Niger State, troops engaged armed terrorists on motorcycles in Munya LGA, neutralising one terrorist and recovering weapons, ammunition, communication equipment and logistics.

In Zamfara State, sustained fighting patrols by troops in Anka and Maru LGAs disrupted terrorist activities, neutralised two terrorists, destroyed their hideouts and rescued civilians who had sustained gunshot wounds. While in Kaduna State, troops’ interventions in Sanga and Zango Kataf LGAs foiled armed robbery and kidnapping attempts, rescued victims and led to the arrest of suspected cattle rustlers. Items recovered included a fabricated rifle, ammunition and rustled livestock. Similar successes were recorded in Plateau State, where troops arrested three cattle rustling suspects in Barkin Ladi and Wase LGAs, recovering motorcycles, knives, mobile phones and cash.

Operations in the South-South and South-East zones also yielded notable results. In Rivers State, troops thwarted planned illegal activities along the Cawthorne Channel in Degema LGA, arresting two suspects and recovering tools intended for sabotage. In Delta State, troops uncovered two wooden boats conveying about 1,700 litres of stolen crude oil, dealing a significant blow to economic sabotage. In Imo State, one suspect linked to the shooting of a civilian was arrested and handed over to the Nigerian Police for further investigation.

In the Federal Capital Territory, an anti-illegal mining operation in Gwagwalada led to the arrest of 11 suspects and the recovery of a motorcycle and petroleum products.
Meanwhile, the Air Component of ongoing operations delivered decisive strikes against terrorist enclaves in the North East. Precision air strikes on confirmed ISWAP/JAS logistics bases and convergence points in Borno State neutralised at least 42 terrorists, with secondary explosions confirming the destruction of weapons and explosives stockpiles. Follow-on strikes targeted fleeing terrorists and additional gatherings, further degrading their command, logistics and fighting capability.

Across the various theatres, Nigerian Army troops rescued over 30 kidnapped victims, including women and children. The victims were safely evacuated, provided with medical attention where required and reunited with their families. Recovered items included AK-47 rifles, magazines, ammunition, communication radios, motorcycles, mobile phones and other logistics vital to criminal operations.

The Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu continues to emphasise intelligence-driven, joint and people-centric operations aimed at protecting lives, property and critical national assets. The Nigerian Army reassures the public of its commitment to sustaining offensive momentum, working closely with sister services and other security agencies and consolidating gains until lasting peace and security are achieved nationwide. The continued support and cooperation of law-abiding citizens remain vital to achieving this collective objective.

NOTORIOUS TERRORIST FIDELIS GUYAMA CAPTURED IN TARABA..

Fedelis Guyama, a dreaded and known mastermind of kidnappings, armed robbery and keeeelings across Taraba, Benue and the neighbouring plateau state under the guide of Fulani Herdsmen has been arrested.

Troops of Forward Operating Base Wukari in Taraba state under the 6 Brigade Nigerian Army Sector 3 , Operation Whirl Stroke, arrested the notorious bandits ' leader responsible for multiple kidnappings in Plateau, Benue and Taraba states.

He was arrested on December 21 2025 during an intelligence driven operation in Vaase community Ukum Local Government area of Benue state.

Fidelis Gayama was arrested by the soldiers. He had been on the wanted lists of security agencies in Taraba and Benue states.

He is linked to another bandit known as Dogo who has been disturbing the Kente Wukari road.

Bismillah

In the year 2020, upon completing the memorization of Kutub Sittah, I was overtaken by a desire to compose a poem to extol the boundless grace of Allah, to express sincere gratitude to my venerable Sheikhs; Sheikh Sulayman, Sheikh Genrada(May Allah forgive his soul), Sheikh Abu Hafs, and to modestly acknowledge my own perseverance and toil in the path of hadith.

In preparation for this, I sought to deepen my knowledge about the compilers of the 6 canonical works: Imam Bukhari, Imam Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Nasaaiyy, and Ibn Majah.

To my astonishment, I discovered that every one of these luminaries, from Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim to the remaining 4 were non-arabs. None of them hailed from the noble tribes of Arabia, yet they rose to preserve the very heart of the Sunnah for posterity.

It was at that moment the reality of Allah’s words became clear:

وَإِن تَتَوَلَّوْا يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُوا أَمْثَالَكُمْ

“And if you turn away, He will replace you with another people; then they will not be the likes of you.”

If the Arabs were to turn aside, or become deluded into imagining themselves inherently privileged, Allah could and did raise others, from distant lands and foreign tongues, to safeguard and disseminate His religion.

This realization shattered the illusion of any racial custodianship over Islam. It is not by lineage, language, or geography that one becomes a guardian of this faith, but solely through devotion, striving, and piety.

This truth is corroborated by the timeless saying of the Prophet, narrated by Jaabir bn Abdillah:

يا أيها الناس إن ربكم واحد ألا لا فضل لعربي على عجمي ولا لعجمي على عربي ولا لأحمر على أسود ولا لأسود على أحمر إلا بالتقوى إن أكرمكم عند الله اتقاكم

“O people, indeed your Lord is One. There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a non-Arab over an Arab, nor for a white over a black, nor for a black over a white, except through piety. Indeed, the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is the most God-fearing of you.”

Thus, the legacy of the Kutub Sittah stands as an eternal testimony that Islam transcends ethnicity and geography, affirming that honor lies not in ancestry but in taqwa.

So if any donkey thinks non-arabs learn the religion from them, they are drinking soar zobo from their Dubur. Jibreel Jokomba

The Foreign Ministry affirms the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s full support for the sovereignty of the brotherly Federal Republic of Somalia, and for its unity and territorial integrity. The Kingdom expresses its rejection of the announcement of mutual recognition between the Israeli occupation authorities and the Somaliland region, considering it an action that entrenches unilateral secessionist measures that violate the international law.

TROOPS OF OPERATION WHIRL STROKE FOIL KIDNAPPING ATTEMPT ON OTUKPO–ENUGU EXPRESSWAY, RESCUE PASSENGERS

Troops of the Joint Task Force Operation WHIRL STROKE have foiled a kidnapping attempt along the Otukpo–Enugu Expressway in Benue State, rescuing several passengers and forcing the assailants to flee.

The incident occurred on 22 December 2025 at about 10:00pm following a distress call, prompting troops on routine patrol to mobilise swiftly to the Amoda axis in Ohimini Local Government Area of Benue State. The armed criminals had emerged from the bush and briefly occupied an existing checkpoint. The assailants subsequently stopped two 18-seater commercial buses travelling from Jos, Plateau State, to Ibadan, Oyo State, and attempted to abduct all passengers; however, the timely intervention of troops of Operation WHIRL STROKE led to a firefight that compelled the kidnappers to abandon their victims and flee into the bush. In the initial encounter, 15 passengers were rescued and handed over to Nigerian Police Division, Otukpo, while six adults and four minors were declared missing, however, subsequent operations led to the rescue of additional five adults and all four minors now in custody of the Police Area Command, Otukpo, with search efforts ongoing to locate the remaining missing passenger.

Commenting on the development, the Force Commander Joint Task Force Operation WHIRL STROKE, Major General Moses Gara, commended the troops for their prompt response and professionalism. He reaffirmed the Task Force unwavering commitment to safeguarding lives and property within its Area of Responsibility, stressing that sustained offensive operations, intelligence-led patrols, and coordinated engagements with sister security agencies would continue to deny criminal elements freedom of action.

Major General Moses Gara, extends warm Christmas and Yuletide greetings to all Christian faithful within the Joint Operations Area, covering Benue, Nasarawa, and Taraba States. He prays that the season brings God’s abundant mercy, peace, and enduring joy to families and communities. The Force Commander urges all believers to remain united, to shun all forms of violence, and to live by the noble virtues exemplified by the Lord Jesus Christ of love, humility, tolerance, and compassion as a prerequisite for shared prosperity throughout the festive period and beyond.

Ellexy wonder whether you've come across this sad news . Travelers going for Maulud celebration were abducted in Plateau

Theflint1:
This is the man they say Nigerians should rally around and support his cry for a monopoly...volume no increase, but revenue dey increase by 42% from previous year.

"Dangote has achieved EBITDA margin of 59% in Nigeria, compared with global cement giants like Holcim (24% margin), Cemex (19%), Heidelberg (26%), Ambuja (19%), and Anhui Conch (23%)."

Why are companies declaring more profits with lower sales volume?

This pattern is not “economic recovery.” It’s price-led profit, not volume-led growth.

1. Aggressive price increases
•Inflation + FX devaluation forced companies to reprice hard
•Cement, FMCGs, fuel, food - prices went up multiple times
•Even if you sell less, each unit now brings in far more naira

In the image:
Volumes ↓ 2.1%
Revenue ↑ 23%
That gap = price hikes

2. Naira devaluation inflates “profits”
•Earnings are reported in naira
•FX collapse makes naira revenue look huge, even when real value hasn’t improved
•If costs are partially fixed or lag FX, margins expand artificially

This is accounting profit, not purchasing-power profit

3. Cost pass-through + cost cutting
•Companies passed almost all cost increases to consumers
while simultaneously:
•Cutting staff
•Reducing marketing
•Shutting marginal SKUs
•Centralizing operations

Result?
Higher EBITDA margins on lower volumes

4. Market concentration & weak competition
•Many consumers are “captive”
•Cement, food staples, fuel = inelastic demand
•People complain but still buy

When competition is weak, volume doesn’t matter as much as pricing power

5. Nigeria’s “profit illusion”
What we’re seeing is:
•Nominal profit ↑
•Real consumption ↓
•Household purchasing power ↓

So companies LOOK healthy…
But the economy underneath is shrinking

⚠️ Why this is dangerous
•It’s not sustainable
•At some point:
- Demand cracks
- Substitutes appear
- Smuggling increases
- Informal markets grow

Bottom line
These profits are not proof of recovery.
They are proof of:
•Inflation
•FX shock
•Pricing power
•Weak competition
•Consumers absorbing the pain

📌 Real recovery is higher volumes + stable margins
📌 What we have is lower volumes + inflated margins

Two very different stories.

6 Brigade Nigerian Army in Taraba State have recorded a major operational breakthrough with the arrest of a notorious bandit leader responsible for multiple kidnapping and armed robbery incidents along the Benue–Taraba axis.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect is closely linked to Aka Dogo, a wanted armed group leader, and is believed to be the ringleader of a criminal network that has terrorised travellers and communities along the Kente -Wukari Road and adjoining border areas between Benue and Taraba States.

Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:

"It is upon a person to know that the help (of Allah) will arrive (when you have) patience, happiness will arrive after sorrow, and after every hardship there will be ease. None will be able to live a life of happiness, even a Prophet, except with patience."

Troops of OPHK Foil Terrorist Logistics Movement, Neutralize 17 Insurgents in Coordinated Ambush Operation

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), in collaboration with local vigilante elements, have successfully disrupted a terrorist logistics operation and neutralized multiple insurgents during a well-coordinated long-range ambush as part of current kinetic operations conducted in the early hours of 21 December 2025.

Acting on credible intelligence from own sources regarding the movement of logistics supplies by suspected JAS/ISWAP elements, troops of OPHK and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), supported by local hunters, deployed to a designated interception point between Sojiri and Kayamla villages on the night of 20 December 2025.

At approximately 2:24 a.m. on 21 December, suspected terrorists mounted on bicycles arrived at the location conveying logistics materials, confirming earlier intelligence reports. The troops, positioned in concealed and coordinated formations, engaged the terrorists decisively.

During the ensuing exchange, 17 suspected terrorists were neutralized, while others fled the scene with gunshot wounds. Recovered items included: Several bicycles, Assorted food items, Drugs and medical supplies,Detergents,
Clothing materials, Bicycle tyres,Torch lights and other sundry logistics items, Assorted Weapons of different calibres and ammunition.

Following the successful engagement, the ambush team safely withdrew to its base location at approximately 4:20 a.m. Exploitation and follow-up are on going to further assess the area and deny insurgents freedom of movement.

Troops remain in high morale, with fighting efficiency assessed as strong and unwavering.
This operation underscores the continued effectiveness of intelligence-driven, joint security efforts in degrading terrorist networks and disrupting their sustainment capabilities.

There is an inbuilt backdoor in every digital device in case of security breach the authorities can request for access legally or do so without waiting for authorization like in the case of the San Bernardino attacker whom Apple refused to release his details.

Troops intercept vehicles conveying suspected ISWAP logistics in Yobe

By: Zagazola Makama

Troops of Sector 2 of the Nigerian Army in collaboration with Civilian Joint Task Force intercepted two pickup vans conveying assorted items suspected to be logistics supplies for the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in Borno State.

Sources told Zagazola Makama that the interception followed credible human intelligence indicating the movement of the items from Dapchi through the Magumeri general area.

According to the source, the troops intercepted the vehicles during the operation and took the drivers into custody for further interrogation.

Items recovered from the two vehicles included 31 spare tyres, 23 spare rims, two bicycles, 12 key starters, three alternators, two bags of flour, one mattress, five bags of charcoal, 34 tubers of yam, two blankets, nylon bags containing garri, adult and children clothing, one power bank, six mobile phones and a cash sum of N92,600.

The source added that the vehicles and recovered items were currently in custody, while investigations were ongoing to determine the extent of the suspects’ involvement and possible links to ISWAP logistics networks.

The troops, the source said, remained committed to disrupting the movement of supplies to terrorist groups and maintaining pressure on criminal elements across the area of responsibility.

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI Decimate Terrorists from Mandara Mountains During Foiled Infiltration Attempt into Bitta

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) have decisively thwarted an early-morning attempt by terrorists operating from the Mandara Mountains to infiltrate Bitta, neutralising several insurgents and dealing a significant blow to their operational capability.

At about 0030 hours on 18 December 2025, troops, supported by advanced surveillance systems, detected the movement of terrorists advancing towards the area. Exercising tactical restraint and professionalism, the troops allowed the terrorists to move into an effective engagement range before unleashing coordinated defensive fires. The engagement resulted in the neutralisation of several insurgents, including a top key terrorist fighter and his cameraman.

As the surviving terrorists attempted to withdraw, follow-on precision strikes were subsequently conducted by the Air Component of OPHK, further decimating the retreating elements and disrupting their escape routes.

Following the engagement, troops conducted a thorough exploitation of the area, leading to the recovery of significant terrorist equipment and logistics. Items recovered include a camcorder, AK-47 rifles, bandoliers, handheld radios, 11 AK-47 magazines with rounds, 7 mobile phones, PKT machine guns, several belts of PKT and GPMG linked ammunition, as well as motorcycles and bicycles.

Further exploitation revealed multiple blood trails and shallow graves, indicative of additional casualties sustained by the terrorists during the encounter and subsequent air strikes.

Troops’ morale and fighting efficiency remain high as operations continue to deny terrorists freedom of action and ensure the safety and security of communities within the area of responsibility.

Troops of OPHK remain resolute in their commitment to decisively defeat all terrorist elements and restore lasting peace and stability across the North East region.

Signs in the Quran for people who reason and seek for the truth.

[Quran 30:20-60]

20. And among His Signs is this, that He created you (Adam) from dust, and then (Hawwa (Eve) from Adams rib, and then his offspring from the semen, and), - behold you are human beings scattered!

21. And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.

22. And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colours. Verily, in that are indeed signs for men of sound knowledge.

23. And among His Signs is the sleep that you take by night and by day, and your seeking of His Bounty. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who listen.

24. And among His Signs is that He shows you the lightning, by way of fear and hope, and He sends down water (rain) from the sky, and therewith revives the earth after its death. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who understand.

25. And among His Signs is that the heaven and the earth stand by His Command, then afterwards when He will call you by single call, behold, you will come out from the earth (i.e from your graves for reckoning and recompense).

26. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. All are obedient to Him.

27. And He it is Who originates the creation, then will repeat it (after it has been perished), and this is easier for Him. His is the highest description (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but He, and there is nothing comparable unto Him) in the heavens and in the earth. And He is the AllMighty, the AllWise.

28. He sets forth for you a parable from your ownselves, - Do you have partners among those whom your right hands possess (i.e your slaves) to share as equals in the wealth We have bestowed on you? Whom you fear as you fear each other? Thus do We explain the signs in detail to a people who have sense.

29. Nay, but those who do wrong follow their own lusts without knowledge, Then who will guide him whom Allah has sent astray? And for such there will be no helpers.

30. So set you (O Muhammad SAW) your face towards the religion of pure Islamic Monotheism Hanifa (worship none but Allah Alone) Allahs Fitrah (i.e. Allahs Islamic Monotheism), with which He has created mankind. No change let there be in Khalqillah (i.e. the Religion of Allah Islamic Monotheism), that is the straight religion, but most of men know not. (Tafsir AtTabaree, Vol 21, Page 41)

31. (Always) Turning in repentance to Him (only), and be afraid and dutiful to Him; and perform AsSalat (IqamatasSalat) and be not of AlMushrikoon (the disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists, idolaters, etc.).

32. Of those who split up their religion (i.e. who left the true Islamic Monotheism), and became sects, (i.e. they invented new things in the religion (Bidah), and followed their vain desires), each sect rejoicing in that which is with it.

33. And when harm touches men, they cry sincerely only to their Lord (Allah), turning to Him in repentance, but when He gives them a taste of His Mercy, behold! a party of them associate partners in worship with their Lord.

34. So as to be ungrateful for the graces which We have bestowed on them. Then enjoy (your short life); but you will come to know.

35. Or have We revealed to them a Scripture, which speaks of that which they have been associating with Him?

36. And when We cause mankind to taste of mercy, they rejoice therein, but when some evil afflicts them because of (evil deeds and sins) that their (own) hands have sent forth, lo! They are in despair!

37. Do they not see that Allah enlarges the provision for whom He wills and straitens (it for whom He wills). Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who believe.

38. So give to the kindred his due, and to AlMiskeen (the poor) and to the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek Allahs Countenance, and it is they who will be successful.

39. And that which you give in gift (to others), in order that it may increase (your wealth by expecting to get a better one in return) from other peoples property, has no increase with Allah, but that which you give in Zakat seeking Allahs Countenance then those, they shall have manifold increase.

40. Allah is He Who created you, then provided food for you, then will cause you to die, then (again) He will give you life (on the Day of Resurrection). Is there any of your (socalled) partners (of Allah) that do anything of that ? Glory be to Him! And Exalted be He above all that (evil) they associate (with Him).

41. Evil (sins and disobedience of Allah, etc.) has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of men have earned (by oppression and evil deeds, etc.), that Allah may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return (by repenting to Allah, and begging His Pardon).

42. Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Travel in the land and see what was the end of those before (you)! Most of them were Mushrikoon (the disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists, idolaters, etc.)."

43. So set you (O Muhammad SAW) your face to (the obedience of Allah, your Lord) the straight and right religion (Islamic Monotheism), before there comes from Allah a Day which none can avert it. On that Day men shall be divided ((in two groups), a group in Paradise and a group in Hell).

44. Whosoever disbelieves will suffer from his disbelief, and whosoever does righteous good deeds (by practising Islamic Monotheism), then such will prepare a good place (in Paradise) for themselves (and will be saved by Allah from His Torment).

45. That He may reward those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous good deeds, out of His Bounty. Verily, He likes not the disbelievers.

46. And among His Signs is this, that He sends the winds as glad tidings, giving you a taste of His Mercy (i.e. rain), and that the ships may sail at His Command, and that you may seek of His Bounty, in order that you may be thankful.

47. And indeed We did send Messengers before you (O Muhammad SAW) to their own peoples. They came to them with clear proofs, then, We took vengeance on those who committed crimes (disbelief, setting partners in worship with Allah, sins, etc.), and (as for) the believers it was incumbent upon Us to help (them).

48. Allah is He Who sends the winds, so they raise clouds, and spread them along the sky as He wills, and then break them into fragments, until you see rain drops come forth from their midst! Then when He has made them fall on whom of His slaves as He will, lo! they rejoice!

49. And verily before that (rain), just before it was sent down upon them, they were in despair!

50. Look then at the effects (results) of Allahs Mercy, how He revives the earth after its death. Verily! That (Allah) Who revived the earth after its death shall indeed raise the dead (on the Day of Resurrection), and He is Able to do all things.

51. And if We send a wind (which would spoil the green growth (tilth) brought up by the previous rain), and they see (their tilth) turn yellow, behold, they then after their being glad, would become unthankful (to their Lord Allah as) disbelievers.

52. So verily, you (O Muhammad SAW) cannot make the dead to hear (i.e. the disbelievers, etc.), nor can you make the deaf to hear the call, when they show their backs, turning away.

53. And you (O Muhammad SAW) cannot guide the blind from their straying; you can make to hear only those who believe in Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and have submitted to Allah in Islam (as Muslims).

54. Allah is He Who created you in (a state of) weakness, then gave you strength after weakness, then after strength gave (you) weakness and grey hair. He creates what He wills. And it is He Who is the AllKnowing, the AllPowerful (i.e. Able to do all things).

55. And on the Day that the Hour will be established, the Mujrimoon (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.) will swear that they stayed not but an hour, thus were they ever deluded (away from the truth (i.e they used to tell lies and take false oaths, and turn away from the truth) in this life of the world)).

56. And those who have been bestowed with knowledge and faith will say: "Indeed you have stayed according to the Decree of Allah, until the Day of Resurrection, so this is the Day of Resurrection, but you knew not."

57. So on that Day no excuse of theirs will avail those who did wrong (by associating partners in worship with Allah, and by denying the Day of Resurrection), nor will they be allowed (then) to return to seek Allahs Pleasure (by having Islamic Faith with righteous deeds and by giving up polytheism, sins and crimes with repentance).

58. And indeed We have set forth for mankind, in this Quran every kind of parable. But if you (O Muhammad SAW) bring to them any sign or proof, (as an evidence for the truth of your Prophethood), the disbelievers are sure to say (to the believers): "You follow nothing but falsehood, and magic."

59. Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of those who know not (the proofs and evidence of the Oneness of Allah i.e. those who try not to understand true facts that which you (Muhammad SAW) have brought to them).

60. So be patient (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, the Promise of Allah is true, and let not those who have no certainty of faith, discourage you from conveying Allahs Message (which you are obliged to convey).
