Verily, for the Muttaqun (pious and righteous persons - see V. 2:2) are Gardens of delight (Paradise) with their Lord. 34 Shall We then treat the People of Faith like the People of Sin? 35 What is the matter with you? How could you judge this to be so? 36 Is there a Book for you, from which you read? 37 That indeed for you is whatever you choose? 38 Or have you received from Us an agreement confirmed by an oath extending to the day of resurrection that you shall surely have what you demand? 39 Ask them (O Muhammad) which of them will vouch for that! 40 Or have they associates if they are truthful. 41 On the day when it befalleth in earnest, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves but are not able, 42 Lowered will be their eyes, disgrace overwhelming them. They had indeed been called to bow in homage when they were free of blame. 43 So leave Me and him who rejects this announcement; We will overtake them by degrees, from whence they perceive not: 44 for, behold, though I may give them rein for a while, My subtle scheme is exceedingly 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 Be patient thou, then, with thy Lord's judgment, and be thou not like him of the fish, when he cried out while he was in anguish. 48 Had not grace from his Lord reached him, he had surely been cast into the wilderness in a plight. 49 And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous. 50 When the unbelievers hear the Reminder, they nearly strike you down with their glances, and say: 'Surely, he is mad' 51 Whilst it is no more than reminder for the people of the world. 52
