31. Say [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]: "Who provides for you from the sky and from the earth? Or who owns hearing and sight? And who brings out the living from the dead and brings out the dead from the living? And who disposes the affairs?" They will say: "Allah." Say: "Will you not then be afraid of Allah's Punishment (for setting up rivals in worship with Allah)?"
   
 
32. Such is Allah, your Lord in truth. So after the truth, what else can there be, save error? How then are you turned away?
   
 
33. Thus is the Word of your Lord justified against those who rebel (disobey Allah) that they will not believe [in the Oneness of Allah and in Muhammad (Peace be upon him) as the Messenger of Allah].
   
 
34. Say: "Is there of your (Allah's so-called) partners one that originates the creation and then repeats it?" Say: "Allah originates the creation and then He repeats it. Then how are you deluded away (from the Truth)?"
   
 
35. Say: "Is there of your (Allah's so-called) partners one that guides to the Truth?" Say: "It is Allah Who guides to the truth. Is then He, Who gives guidance to the truth, more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself) unless he is guided? Then, what is the matter with you? How judge you?"
   
 
36. And most of them follow nothing but conjecture. Certainly, conjecture can be of no avail against the truth. Surely, Allah is All-Aware of what they do.
   
 
37. And this Qur-an is not such as could ever be produced by other than Allah (Lord of the heavens and the earth), but it is a confirmation of (the revelation) which was before it [i.e. the Taurat (Torah), and the Injil (Gospel), etc.], and a full explanation of the Book (i.e. laws and orders, etc, decreed for mankind) - wherein there is no doubt from the the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns, and all that exists).
   
 
38. Or do they say: "He [Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] has forged it?" Say: "Bring then a Surah (chapter) like unto it, and call upon whomsoever you can, besides Allah, if you are truthful!"
   
 
39. Nay, they deny that; the knowledge whereof they could not compass and whereof the interpretation has not yet come unto them. Thus those before them did deny. Then see what was the end of the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.)!
   
 
40. And of them there are some who believe therein, and of them there are some who believe not therein, and your Lord is All-Aware of the Mufsidun (evil-doers, liars, etc.).
   
 
41. And if they belie you, say: "For me are my deeds and for you are your deeds! You are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what you do!"
   
 
42. And among them are some who listen to you, but can you make the deaf to hear, even though they apprehend not?
   
 
43. And among them are some who look at you, but can you guide the blind, even though they see not?
   
 
44. Truly! Allah wrongs not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves.
   
 
45. And on the Day when He shall gather (resurrect) them together, (it will be) as if they had not stayed (in the life of this world and graves, etc.) but an hour of a day. They will recognise each other. Ruined indeed will be those who denied the meeting with Allah, and were not guided.
   
 
46. Whether We show you [in your lifetime, O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] some of what We promise them (the torment), - or We cause you to die, - still unto Us is their return, and moreover Allah is Witness over what they used to do.
   
 
47. And for every Ummah (a community or a nation), there is a Messenger; when their Messenger comes, the matter will be judged between them with justice, and they will not be wronged.
   
 
48. And they say: "When will be this promise (the torment or the Day of Resurrection), - if you speak the truth?"
   
 
49. Say [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]: "I have no power over any harm or profit to myself except what Allah may will. For every Ummah (a community or a nation), there is a term appointed; when their term is reached, neither can they delay it nor can they advance it an hour (or a moment)." (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi).
   
 
50. Say: "Tell me, - if His torment should come to you by night or by day, - which portion thereof would the Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals) hasten on ?"
   
 
51. Is it then, that when it has actually befallen, that you will believe in it? What! Now (you believe)? And you used (aforetime) to hasten it on!"
   
 
52. Then it will be said to them who wronged themselves: "Taste you the everlasting torment! Are you recompensed (aught) save what you used to earn?"
   
 
53. And they ask you [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] to inform them (saying): "Is it true (i.e. the torment and the establishment of the Hour; - the Day of Resurrection)?" Say: "Yes! By my Lord! It is the very truth! and you cannot escape from it!"
   
 
54. And if every person who had wronged (by disbelieving in Allah and by worshipping others besides Allah), possessed all that is on earth, and sought to ransom himself therewith (it will not be accepted), and they would feel in their hearts regret when they see the torment, and they will be judged with justice, and no wrong will be done unto them.
   
 
55. No doubt, surely, all that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. No doubt, surely, Allah's Promise is true. But most of them know not.
   
 
56. It is He Who gives life, and causes death, and to Him you (all) shall return.
   
 
57. O mankind! There has come to you a good advice from your Lord (i.e. the Qur-an, ordering all that is good and forbidding all that is evil), and a healing for that (disease of ignorance, doubt, hypocrisy and differences, etc.) in your breasts, - a guidance and a mercy (explaining lawful and unlawful things, etc.) for the believers.
   
 
58. Say: "In the Bounty of Allah, and in His Mercy (i.e. Islam and the Qur-an); -therein let them rejoice." That is better than what (the wealth) they amass.
   
 
59. Say [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him) to these polytheists]: "Tell me, what provision Allah has sent down to you! And you have made of it lawful and unlawful." Say [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]: "Has Allah permitted you (to do so), or do you invent a lie against Allah?"
   
 
60. And what think those who invent lies against Allah, on the Day of Resurrection? [i.e. Do they think that they will be forgiven and excused! Nay, they will have an eternal punishment in the Fire of Hell]. Truly, Allah is full of Bounty to mankind, but most of them are ungrateful.
