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 those who have surrendered as We treat the guilty? 35 What is the matter with you? How could you judge this to be so? 36 Or do you have a Book wherein you read 37 surely in it you shall have whatever you choose! 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, who among them is a guarantor for it? 40 Or have they any partners? Let them bring their partners then, if what they say is true. 41 on the Day when man's very being shall be bared to the bone, and when they [who now deny the truth] shall be called upon to prostrate themselves [before God,] and shall be unable to do so: 42 downcast will be their eyes, with ignominy overwhelming them - seeing that they had been called upon [in vain] to prostrate themselves [before Him] while they were yet sound [and alive]. 43 Let Me alone with him who belieth this discourse; step by step We lead them on when they perceive not. 44 A (long) respite will I grant them: truly powerful is My Plan. 45 (Muhammad), do you ask for your preaching any recompense which is too heavy a price for them to pay? 46 Is with them the unseen, so that they write down? 47 Wait patiently for your Lord's judgement; do not be like the man who, having been swallowed by a whale, called out in distress. 48 Had there not overtaken him a blessing from his Lord he would have been cast upon the wilderness, being condemned. 49 Then his Lord chose him and placed him among the upright. 50 And indeed the disbelievers seem as if they would topple you with their evil gaze when they hear the Qur’an, and they say, “He is indeed insane.” 51 While it is naught but an admonition unto the worlds. 52
