Verily for the God-fearing, are with their Lord Gardens of Delight. 34 What! Shall We treat those who have submitted (to Our command) like those who have acted as criminals? 35 What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge? 36 Or have ye a book through which ye learn- 37 that (in the Hereafter) you shall have all that you choose for yourselves? 38 Or have you received a solemn promise, binding on Us till Resurrection Day, that yours will assuredly be whatever you judge [to be your rightful due]? 39 Ask them: “Which of them can guarantee that? 40 Or have they associates if they are truthful. 41 On the Day when the leg shall be bared, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves, they will be unable. 42 Downcast will be their looks; abjectness will overspread them. Surely they had been called upon to prostrate themselves while yet they were whole. 43 Hence, leave Me alone with such as give the lie to this tiding. We shall bring them low, step by step, without their perceiving how it has come about: 44 I shall respite them, My stratagem is firm. 45 Do you ask for any compensation from them that they are burdened with want? 46 Or have they (the knowledge of) the unseen, so that they write (it) down? 47 But wait thou for thy Lord's decree, and be not like him of the fish, who cried out in despair. 48 Had not a Grace from his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been (left in the stomach of the fish, but We forgave him), so he was cast off on the naked shore, while he was to be blamed. 49 Then his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous. 50 And those who disbelieve would almost smite you with their eyes when they hear the reminder, and they say: Most surely he is mad. 51 And it is nothing but a Reminder unto all beings. 52
