| 33. And when an affliction befalls people, they cry unto their Lord, turning sincerely to HIM; then, when HE has made them taste of mercy from HIM, lo ! a section of them associate partners with their Lord, 34. So that they begin to deny that which WE have bestowed upon them. So enjoy yourselves awhile but soon you will come to know. 35. Have WE sent down to them any authority which speaks in favour of what they associate with HIM ? 36. And when WE make people taste of mercy, they rejoice therein; but if some evil befalls them because of that which their own hands have sent on, behold ! they are in despair. 37. See they not that ALLAH enlarges the provision to whomsoever HE pleases and straitens it to whomsoever HE pleases ? In that, truly, are Signs for a people who believe. 38. So give to the kinsman his due and to the needy and to the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek the favour of ALLAH, and it is they who will prosper. 39. Whatever you lay out at interest that it may increase the wealth of the people, it does not increase in the sight of ALLAH; but whatever you give in Zakat, seeking the pleasure of ALLAH - it is these who will increase their wealth manifold. 40. It is ALLAH Who has created you, and then HE has provided for you; then HE will cause you to die, and then HE will bring you to life. Is there any of your so-called associate-gods, who can do any of these things ? Glorified be HE and exalted far above that which they associate with HIM. 41. Corruption have spread on land and sea because of what men's hands has wrought, that HE may make them taste the fruit of some of their doings, so that they may turn back from evil. |
