Benefit
....



They learn by which hurt them and not benefit them
1

the ships which run upon the sea with that
which is of use to men, are signs of Allah
1

Say: In both is great sin, and (some) utility
for men; but the sin of them is greater than
their usefulness.
1

Your parents or your children: Ye know not 
which of them is nearer unto you in usefulness.
1

Say: Serve ye in place of Allah that which
possesseth for you neither hurt nor use? 
1

Allah saith: This is a day in which their truthfulness
profiteth the truthful, for theirs are Gardens underneath
which rivers flow, wherein they are secure for ever,
Allah taking pleasure in them and they in Him.
That is the great triumph
1

Say: Shall we cry, instead of unto Allah,
unto that which neither profiteth us nor
hurteth us, and shall we turn back after
Allah hath guided us, like one bewildered
whom the devils have infatuated in the earth,
who hath companions who invite him to the
guidance (saying): Come unto us?
1

In the day when one of the portents from thee Lord
cometh, its belief availeth naught a soul which
theretofore believed not, nor in its belief earned
good (by works).
1

Say: For myself I have no power to benefit,
nor power to hurt, save that which Allah willeth.
Had I knowledge of the Unseen, I should have
abundance of wealth, and adversity would not
touch me. I am but a warner, and a bearer of
good tidings unto folk who believe.
1


That is because neither thirst nor toil nor hunger
afflicteth them in the way of Allah, nor step
they any step that angereth the disbelievers,
nor gain they from the enemy a gain, but a
good deed is recorded for them therefor. 
1

They worship beside Allah that which neither
hurteth them nor profiteth them, and they
say: These are our intercessors with Allah
1

Say: I have no power to hurt or benefit myself,
save that which Allah willeth.
1

If only there had been a community (of all those
that were destroyed of old) that believed and
profited by its belief as did the folk of Jonah
1

And cry not, beside Allah, unto that which cannot
profit thee nor hurt thee, for if thou didst
so then wert thou of the wrong-doers.
