Lo! for those who keep from evil are gardens of bliss with their Lord. 34 What, shall We make those who are submissive like the wrongdoers? 35 What is amiss with you? On what do you base your judgment [of right and wrong]? 36 Or have ye a book through which ye learn- 37 That you shall have all that you 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 stand surety for that! 40 Or have they, perchance, any sages to support their views? Well, then, if they are sincere in this their claim, let them produce those supporters of theirs 41 On the day the great calamity befalls, and they are called to bow in homage, they will not be able to do so. 42 Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound. 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 is it that thou dost ask them for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt?- 46 Is the unseen within their grasp so that they write it down? 47 Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed. 48 Had it not been that favour from his Lord had reached him he surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate. 49 But his Lord exalted him, and included him among His righteous servants. 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 naught but a reminder to the nations. 52
