37 Or have they the treasures of thy Lord with them? Or have they absolute authority? |
38 Or have they the means by which they listen? Then let their listener bring a clear authority. |
39 Or has He daughters and you have sons? |
40 Or askest thou a reward from them so that they are over-burdened by a debt? |
41 Or possess they the unseen, so they write (it) down? |
42 Or do they intend a plot? But those who disbelieve will be the ensnared ones in the plot. |
43 Or have they a god other than Allāh? Glory be to Allāh from what they set up (with Him)! |
44 And if they were to see a portion of the heaven coming down, they would say: Piled-up clouds! |
45 Leave them then till they meet that day of theirs wherein they are smitten with punishment: |
46 The day when their struggle will avail them naught, nor will they be helped. |
47 And surely for those who do wrong there is a chastisement besides that; but most of them know not. |
48 And wait patiently for the judgment of thy Lord, for surely thou art before Our eyes, and celebrate the praise of thy Lord, when thou risest, |
49 And in the night, give Him glory, too, and at the setting of the stars. |
1 By the star when it sets! |
2 Your companion errs not, nor does he deviate. |
3 Nor does he speak out of desire. |
