50 And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign, and We gave them refuge on a lofty ground having meadows and springs. |
51 O ye messengers, eat of the good things and do good. Surely I am Knower of what you do. |
52 And surely this your community is one community, and I am your Lord, so keep your duty to Me. |
53 But they became divided into sects, each party rejoicing in that which was with them. |
54 So leave them in their ignorance till a time. |
55 Think they that by the wealth and children wherewith We aid them, |
56 We are hastening to them of good things? Nay, they perceive not. |
57 Surely they who live in awe for fear of their Lord, |
58 And those who believe in the messages of their Lord, |
59 And those who associate naught with their Lord, |
60 And those who give what they give while their hearts are full of fear that to their Lord they must return — |
61 These hasten to good things and they are foremost in attaining them. |
62 And We lay not on any soul a burden except to the extent of its ability, and with Us is a book which speaks the truth, and they are not wronged. |
63 Nay, their hearts are in ignorance about it, and they have besides this other deeds which they do. |
64 Until, when We seize those who lead easy lives among them with chastisement, lo! they cry for succour. |
65 Cry not for succour this day. Surely you will not be helped by Us. |
66 My messages were indeed recited to you, but you used to turn back on your heels |
67 Haughtily, passing nights in talking nonsense about it. |
68 Do they not then ponder the Word? Or has there come to them that which did not come to their fathers of old? |
