Surely those who guard (against evil) shall have with their Lord gardens of bliss. 34 Shall We then treat those who have surrendered as We treat the guilty? 35 What is the matter with you? How judge you? 36 Or, have you a Book from which you study 37 That ye shall have, through it whatever ye choose? 38 Or have We sworn a covenant with you which We are bound to keep till the Day of Resurrection, (a covenant requiring that whatever you ordain for yourselves shall be yours)? 39 Ask them which of them will vouch for that, 40 Or have they "partners"? Then let them bring their "partners" 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 With eyes downcast, abasement stupefying them. And they had been summoned to prostrate themselves while they were yet unhurt. 43 Then leave Me alone with such as reject this Message: by degrees shall We punish them from directions they perceive not. 44 And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm. 45 Askest thou a hire from them so that they are laden with debt? 46 Do they possess the knowledge of the unseen which confirms the truthfulness of their belief? 47 So be patient with the judgement of your Lord and do not be like the Companion of the Whale (Jonah), when he called out choking inwardly. 48 Had not Grace from his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been cast off on the naked shore, in disgrace. 49 But his Lord chose him for His own and made him one 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 Whereas it is not but an advice to the entire creation! 52
