How do you judge? 36 Or, have you a Book from which you study 37 that you will be granted whatever you choose? 38 Or is it that you have a covenant from Us, right up to the Day of Judgement, that you will get all what you claim? 39 Ask then, which of them will stand thereof a surety? 40 Have they associate gods? Then let them produce their associate gods if they say sooth! 41 Upon the day when the leg shall be bared, and they shall be summoned to bow themselves, but they cannot; 42 humbled shall be their eyes, and abasement shall overspread them, for they had been summoned to bow themselves while they were whole. 43 Let Me alone with him who belieth this discourse; step by step We lead them on when they perceive not. 44 Yet I will give them respite: Surely My plan is compact. 45 Or do you ask from them a reward, so that they are burdened with debt? 46 Or, is the Unseen with them, and they are writing 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 his Lord not bestowed His favour upon him, he would have been cast upon that barren shore (and would have remained there) in disgrace. 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 When it is naught else than a Reminder to creation. 52
