appointed term. Surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect. |
43 Or, take they intercessors besides Allāh? Say: What! Even though they control naught, nor do they understand. |
44 Say: Allāh’s is the intercession altogether. His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. Then to Him you will be returned. |
45 And when Allāh alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter shrink, and when those besides Him are mentioned, lo! they are joyful. |
46 Say: O Allāh, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Thou judgest between Thy servants as to that wherein they differ. |
47 And had those who do wrong all that is in the earth and the like of it with it, they would certainly offer it as ransom from the evil of the chastisement on the day of Resurrection. And what they never thought of shall become plain to them from Allāh. |
48 And the evil of what they wrought will become plain to them, and that which they mocked at will beset them. |
49 So when harm afflicts a man he calls upon Us; then, when We give him a boon from Us, he says: I have been given it only by means of knowledge. Nay, it is a trial, but most of them know not. |
50 Those before them did say it indeed, but what they earned availed them not. |
51 So there befell them the evil which they had earned. And those who are unjust from among these, there shall befall them the evil which they earn, and they shall not escape. |
52 Know they not that Allāh gives ample subsistence to whom He pleases, and He straitens; surely there are signs in this for a people who believe. |
53 Say: O My servants who have been prodigal regarding their souls, despair not of the mercy of Allāh; surely Allāh forgives sins altogether. He is indeed the Forgiving, the Merciful. |
54 And turn to your Lord and submit to Him before chastisement comes to you, then you will not be helped. |
