Verily, for the Muttaqun (pious and righteous persons - see V. 2:2) are Gardens of delight (Paradise) with their Lord. 34 What! Shall We treat those who have submitted (to Our command) like those who have acted as criminals? 35 What ails you then, how you judge? 36 Have you a Scripture that tells you 37 That therein is yours that which ye may choose? 38 Or have you taken a binding promise from Us which would hold till the Day of Judgement, that you will get whatever you demand? 39 Ask them, who among them is a guarantor for it? 40 Or have they any partners? Let them bring their partners then, if what they say is true. 41 Upon the day when the leg shall be bared, and they shall be summoned to bow themselves, but they cannot; 42 downcast will be their eyes, with ignominy overwhelming them - seeing that they had been called upon [in vain] to prostrate themselves [before Him] while they were yet sound [and alive]. 43 So leave Me, (O Prophet), to deal with him who gives the lie to this Discourse. We shall draw them little by little (to their undoing) in a way that they will not know. 44 and I shall respite them -- assuredly My guile is sure. 45 Do you demand some recompense from them that would weigh them down with debt? 46 Or have they (the knowledge of) the unseen, so that they write (it) down? 47 So wait with patience for the Decision of your Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish, when he cried out (to Us) while he was in deep sorrow. (See the Quran, Verse 21:87). 48 Had the favor of his Lord not come upon him, he would have been blamed, cast upon the shore. 49 And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous. 50 When the unbelievers hear this Exhortation, they look at you as though they would knock you off your feet with their (hostile) glances. They say: “Surely he is afflicted with madness”; 51 The Quran is nothing but a reminder from God to mankind. 52
