| 47. And they demand of thee to hasten on the punishment, but ALLAH will never break HIS promise. And, verily, a day with thy Lord is sometimes as a thousand years of your reckoning. 48. And how many a city I have respited, while it was given to wrongdoing. Then I seized it, and unto ME is the return. 49. Say, `O Mankind, I am but a plain Warner to you;' 50. `Those who believe and do good works, for them is forgiveness and an honourable provision; 51. `But those who strive against Our Signs, seeking to frustrate Our purpose - these shall be the inmates of the Fire.' 52. Never did WE send a Messenger or a Prophet before thee, but when he sought to attain his object, Satan put obstacles in the way of what he sought after. But ALLAH removes the obstacles that are placed by Satan. Then ALLAH firmly establishes HIS Signs. And ALLAH is All-Knowing, Wise. 53. This happens that HE may make the obstacles which Satan puts in the way of the Prophet a trial for those in whose hearts is a disease and, those whose hearts are hardened and surely, the wrongdoers are gone far in opposition - 54. And that those to whom knowledge is given may know that it is the truth from thy Lord, so that they may believe therein and their hearts may be humble unto HIM. And, surely, ALLAH guides those who believe to the right path; 55. And those who disbelieve will not cease to be in doubt about it until the Hour comes suddenly upon them, or there comes to them the punishment of a destructive day. |
