041.029 And the Unbelievers will say: "Our Lord! Show us those, among Jinns and men, who misled us: We shall crush
them beneath our feet, so that they become the vilest (before all)."
041.030 In the case of those who say, "Our Lord is God", and, further, stand straight and steadfast, the angels descend
on them (from time to time): "Fear ye not!" (they suggest), "Nor grieve! but receive the Glad Tidings of the Garden (of
Bliss), the which ye were promised!
041.031 "We are your protectors in this life and in the Hereafter: therein shall ye have all that your souls shall desire;
therein shall ye have all that ye ask for!-
041.032 "A hospitable gift from one Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful!"
041.033 Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to God, works righteousness, and says, "I am of those who
bow in Islam"?
041.034 Nor can goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: Then will he between whom and thee
was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate!
041.035 And no one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint,- none but
persons of the greatest good fortune.
041.036 And if (at any time) an incitement to discord is made to thee by the Evil One, seek refuge in God. He is the
One Who hears and knows all things.
041.037 Among His Sings are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. Adore not the sun and the moon, but
adore God, Who created them, if it is Him ye wish to serve.
041.038 But is the (Unbelievers) are arrogant, (no matter): for in the presence of thy Lord are those who celebrate
His praises by night and by day. And they never flag (nor feel themselves above it).
041.039 And among His Signs in this: thou seest the earth barren and desolate; but when We send down rain to it, it
is stirred to life and yields increase. Truly, He Who gives life to the (dead) earth can surely give life to (men) who are
dead. For He has power over all things.
041.040 Those who pervert the Truth in Our Signs are not hidden from Us. Which is better?- he that is cast into the
Fire, or he that comes safe through, on the Day of Judgment? Do what ye will: verily He seeth (clearly) all that ye do.
041.041 Those who reject the Message when it comes to them (are not hidden from Us). And indeed it is a Book of
exalted power.
041.042 No falsehood can approach it from before or behind it: It is sent down by One Full of Wisdom, Worthy of
all Praise.
041.043 Nothing is said to thee that was not said to the apostles before thee: that thy lord has at his Command (all)
forgiveness as well as a most Grievous Penalty.
041.044 Had We sent this as a Qur'an (in the language) other than Arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its verses
explained in detail? What! (a Book) not in Arabic and (a Messenger an Arab?" Say: "It is a Guide and a Healing to those
who believe; and for those who believe not, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes): They
are (as it were) being called from a place far distant!"
041.045 We certainly gave Moses the Book aforetime: but disputes arose therein. Had it not been for a Word that went
forth before from thy Lord, (their differences) would have been settled between them: but they remained in suspicious
disquieting doubt thereon.
041.046 Whoever works righteousness benefits his own soul; whoever works evil, it is against his own soul: nor is thy
Lord ever unjust (in the least) to His Servants.
041.047 To Him is referred the Knowledge of the Hour (of Judgment: He knows all): No date-fruit comes out of its
sheath, nor does a female conceive (within her womb) nor bring forth the Day that (God) will propound to them the
(question), "Where are the partners (ye attributed to Me?" They will say, "We do assure thee not one of us can bear
witness!"
041.048 The (deities) they used to invoke aforetime will leave them in the lurch, and they will perceive that they have
no way of escape.
041.049 Man does not weary of asking for good (things), but if ill touches him, he gives up all hope (and) is lost in
despair.
041.050 When we give him a taste of some Mercy from Ourselves, after some adversity has touched him, he is sure
