Surely, the cautious shall have Gardens of Bliss with their Lord. 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 then, how do you judge? 36 Or have you a book wherein you read, 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, for that [claim], is responsible. 40 Or have they "partners"? Then let them bring their "partners" if they are truthful! 41 The Day that the shin shall be laid bare, and they shall be summoned to bow in adoration, but they shall not be able,- 42 Their looks cast down, abasement shall overtake them; and they were called upon to make obeisance indeed while yet they were safe. 43 So leave Me with him who cries lies to this discourse! We will draw them on little by little whence they know not; 44 for, behold, though I may give them rein for a while, My subtle scheme is exceedingly firm! 45 Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down? 46 Or that they possess the hidden, so they are writing it? 47 So bear with patience until the Judgement of your Lord comes, and do not belike the man in the fish (i.e., Jonah) who called out, choking with grief: 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 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 And it is nothing but a Reminder unto all beings. 52
