On the day when the punishment will overwhelm them from above them and from underneath their feet, and HE will say, `Taste ye the fruit of your actions.' 56. O MY servants who believe ! verily, MY earth is vast; so worship ME alone. 57. Every soul shall taste of death; then to US shall you all be brought back. 58. And those who believe and do righteous deeds - them shall WE, surely, house in lofty mansions of Paradise, beneath which streams flow. They will abide therein. Excellent is the reward of those who labour for good, 59. Those who are steadfast, and put their trust in their Lord. 60. And how many an animal there is that carries not its sustenance ! ALLAH provides for it and for you. And HE is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. 61. And if thou ask them, `Who has created the heavens and the earth and pressed into service the sun and the moon ? They will, surely, say, `ALLAH.' How then are they being turned away from the truth ? 62. ALLAH enlarges the means of sustenance for such of his servants as HE pleases, and straitens them for whom HE pleases. Surely, ALLAH has full knowledge of all things. 63. And if thou ask them, `Who sends down water from the sky and therewith gives life to the earth after its death ?' They will, surely, say, `ALLAH.' Say, `All praise belongs to ALLAH.' But most of them understand not. |
