| 43. And among them are some who look towards thee. But canst thou guide the blind, even though they will not see. 44. Certainly, ALLAH wrongs not men at all; it is they who wrong their own souls. 45. And on the day when HE will gather them together, it will appear to them as though they had not tarried in the world save for an hour of a day. They will recognize one another. Losers indeed are those who deny the meeting with ALLAH and would not follow guidance. 46. And if WE show thee in thy lifetime the fulfillment of some of the things with which WE have threatened them, thou wilt know it; or if WE cause thee to die before that, then to US is their return, and thou wilt have knowledge of it in the next world; and ALLAH is Witness to all that they do. 47. And for every people there is a Messenger. So when their Messenger comes, it is judged between them with equity, and they are not wronged. 48. And they say, `When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful ?' 49. Say, `I have no power over any harm or benefit for myself save that which ALLAH wills. For every people there is an appointed term. When their term is come, they cannot remain behind a single moment, nor can they get ahead of it.' 50. Say, `Tell me, if HIS punishment come upon you by night or by day, how will the guilty run away from it ? 51. `Is it then when it has overtaken you that you will believe in it ? What ! you believe now ! And before this you used to demand its speedy coming ? 52. Then it will be said to those who did wrong, `Taste ye the abiding punishment. You are not requited save for that which you earned.' 53. And they ask thee to tell them whether it is true ? Say, `Yea, by my Lord ! it is most surely true; and you cannot frustrate it.' |
