34 Surely the dutiful have with their Lord Gardens of bliss.

35 Shall We then make those who submit as the guilty?

36 What is the matter with you? How do you judge?

37 Or have you a book wherein you read

38 That you shall surely have therein what you choose?

39 Or have you covenants from Us on oath, extending to the day of Resurrection, that yours is surely what you judge?

40 Ask them which of them will vouch for that.

41 Or have they associate-gods? Then let them bring their associates, if they are truthful.

42 On the day when there is a severe affliction, and they are called upon to prostrate themselves, but they are not able —

43 Their looks cast down, abasement will cover them. And they were indeed called upon to prostrate themselves, while yet they were safe.

44 So leave Me alone with him who rejects this announcement. We shall overtake them by degrees, from whence they know not.

45 And I bear with them, surely My plan is firm.

46 Or dost thou ask from them a reward, so that they are burdened with debt?

47 Or is the unseen with them so that they write (it) down?

48 So wait patiently for the judgment of thy Lord, and be not like the Companion of the fish, when he cried while he was in distress.

49 Had not favour from his Lord reached him, he would certainly have been cast down on naked ground, while he was blamed.

50 Then his Lord chose him, and He made him of the righteous.

51 And those who disbelieve would almost smite thee with their eyes when they hear the Reminder, and they say: Surely he is mad!

52 And it is naught but a Reminder for the nations.
