What sort of a judgement you impose! 36 Is there with you a Book wherein ye study: 37 That you have surely therein what you choose? 38 Or have ye a covenant on oath from Us that reacheth to the Day of Judgment, that yours shall be all that ye ordain? 39 Ask thou of them, which of them will stand surety for that! 40 Or have they other partners [besides God]? Let them bring forth their other partners, if what they say be true. 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 will be lowered and disgrace will cover them. They had certainly been told to prostrate themselves before God when they were safe and sound. 43 So leave Me and him who rejects this announcement; We will overtake them by degrees, from whence they perceive not: 44 And I will give them respite; indeed My plan is very solid. 45 Or is it that thou dost ask them for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt?- 46 Or that they possess the hidden, so they are writing it? 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 If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured. 49 And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous. 50 When the unbelievers hear the Reminder, they nearly strike you down with their glances, and say: 'Surely, he is mad' 51 But it is nothing other than a Reminder for all the worlds. 52
