Verily, for the Muttaqun (pious and righteous persons - see V. 2:2) are Gardens of delight (Paradise) with their Lord. 34 Shall We treat the Muslims like criminals? 35 What is the matter with you? How ill do you judge! 36 Or have ye a scripture wherein ye learn 37 That you can surely have whatever you choose? 38 Or, have you an oath from Us that stretches to the Day of Resurrection (if so) you shall surely have what you judge! 39 (Muhammad), ask which of them can guarantee that on the Day of Judgment. 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 when there shall be a severe affliction, and they shall be called upon to make obeisance, but they shall not be able, 42 With lowered eyes, disgrace overcoming them; and indeed they used to be called to prostrate themselves whilst they were healthy. 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 I shall respite them, My stratagem is firm. 45 Askest thou a hire from them so that they are laden with debt? 46 Or have they (the knowledge of) the unseen, so that they write (it) down? 47 So be patient with the judgement of your Lord and do not be like the Companion of the Whale (Jonah), when he called out choking inwardly. 48 [And remember:] had not grace from his Sustainer reached him, he would indeed have been cast forth upon that barren shore in a state of disgrace: 49 But his Lord chose him and placed him among the righteous. 50 And lo! those who disbelieve would fain disconcert thee with their eyes when they hear the Reminder, and they say: Lo! he is indeed mad; 51 When it is naught else than a Reminder to creation. 52
