| 55. So as to deny that which WE have bestowed upon them. Well, then, enjoy yourselves a while, but soon will you know. 56. And they set apart for their false gods of which they know nothing, a portion of that which WE have bestowed on them. By ALLAH, you shall certainly be called to account for all that you forged. 57. And they ascribe daughters to ALLAH - Holy is HE - while they themselves have what they desire. 58. And when to one of them is conveyed the tidings of the birth of a female, his face darkens with inward suppressed grief; 59. He hides himself from the people because of the bad news he has had. Shall he keep it inspite of disgrace or shall he bury it in the dust ? Verily, evil is that which they judge. 60. The state of those who do not believe in the Hereafter, is evil, while all sublime attributes belong to ALLAH and HE is the Mighty, the Wise. 61. And if ALLAH were to punish men for their wrongdoing, HE would not leave on the earth a living creature, but HE gives them respite till an appointed term; and when their term is come, they cannot remain behind a single hour, nor can they go ahead of it. 62. And they assign to ALLAH what they dislike for themselves and their tongues utter the lie that they will have the best of everything. Undoubtedly, theirs shall be the Fire, and therein shall they be abandoned. 63. By ALLAH, WE certainly sent Messengers to all the peoples before thee; but Satan made their works appear beautiful to them. So he is their patron this day, and they shall have a grievous punishment. 64. And WE have not sent down to thee the Book except that thou mayest explain to them that concerning which they have created differences and as a guidance, and a mercy for a people who believe. |
