Verily, for the Righteous, are Gardens of Delight, in the Presence of their Lord. 34 Should We treat those who submit and obey in the same way as those who are culpable? 35 What ails you? How ill you judge! 36 Or, have you a Book from which you study 37 that tells you to do whatever you want? 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 has something been guaranteed by any of those whom they associate with Allah in His Divinity?” If so, let them bring forth their associates, if they are truthful. 41 On the day when the Shin* will be exposed and they will be called to prostrate themselves, they will be unable. (Used as a metaphor) 42 Their eyes shall be downcast and ignominy shall overwhelm them. For when they were safe and sound, they were summoned to prostrate themselves, (and they refused). 43 So leave Me and him who rejects this announcement; We will overtake them by degrees, from whence they perceive not: 44 And I do bear with them, surely My plan is firm. 45 Or are you asking them for some compensation so that they feel burdened with debt? 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 If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured. 49 And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous. 50 Hence, [be patient,] even though they who are bent on denying the truth would all but kill thee with their eyes whenever they hear this reminder, and [though] they say: "[As for Muhammad,] behold, most surely he is a madman!" 51 Whereas it is not but an advice to the entire creation! 52
