And if they deny thee, say: Unto me my work, and unto you your work. Ye are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what ye do. 41 And some of them give ear to thee; what, wilt thou make the deaf to hear, though they understand not? 42 Some of them look fixedly at you; but can you make the blind see, bereft as they are of sight? 43 Indeed Allah does not oppress men at all, but they do wrong themselves. 44 (But today they are oblivious of everything except enjoyment of worldly life.) And on the Day when He will muster all men together, they will feel as though they had been in the world no more than an hour of the day to get acquainted with one another. (It will then become evident that) those who called the lie to meeting with Allah were utter losers and were not rightly-directed. underlies this sharp remark is the faint hope that perhaps such people would be shaken out of their slumber. 45 Whether We show you something of what We have promised them or cause you to die [before that], to Us they shall return.

Say: "Aye! by my Lord! it is the very truth! and ye cannot frustrate it!" 53
