Ayah: 47

۞ إِلَيۡهِ يُرَدُّ عِلۡمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِۚ وَمَا تَخۡرُجُ مِن ثَمَرَٰتٖ مِّنۡ أَكۡمَامِهَا وَمَا تَحۡمِلُ مِنۡ أُنثَىٰ وَلَا تَضَعُ إِلَّا بِعِلۡمِهِۦۚ وَيَوۡمَ يُنَادِيهِمۡ أَيۡنَ شُرَكَآءِي قَالُوٓاْ ءَاذَنَّٰكَ مَا مِنَّا مِن شَهِيدٖ

47. To Allāh 'alone, learned men' refer the knowledge of the Hour 'of Doom'. No fruit comes forth from their husks, nor does any female conceives or delivers except with His knowledge. On the Day when He will call them, where are (those whom you considered) My associates in worship? They will say: "We declare to You, none of us are a witness (now of that falsehood)."

Ayah: 48

وَضَلَّ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَدۡعُونَ مِن قَبۡلُۖ وَظَنُّواْ مَا لَهُم مِّن مَّحِيصٖ

48. Whatever they used to invoke before 'of idols, etc' will forsake them, and they will know for certain that there is no escape for them 'from Allah’s torment'.

Ayah: 49

لَّا يَسۡـَٔمُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِن دُعَآءِ ٱلۡخَيۡرِ وَإِن مَّسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ فَيَـُٔوسٞ قَنُوطٞ

49. One never tires of praying for good, but if adversity touches him, then he is desperate, despondent.

Ayah: 50

وَلَئِنۡ أَذَقۡنَٰهُ رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتۡهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ هَٰذَا لِي وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةٗ وَلَئِن رُّجِعۡتُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّيٓ إِنَّ لِي عِندَهُۥ لَلۡحُسۡنَىٰۚ فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنۡ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٖ

50. Yet when We let him taste Mercy from Us after some adversity that has touched him, he would certainly say: "This is for me (due to my merit). I do not think that the Hour 'of Doom' will ever come. Even if I am returned to 'Allāh' my Lord, I will have from Him the most beautiful reward. We shall certainly inform the deniers 'of the Truth' of what they did, and We will surely make them taste a difficult torment.

Ayah: 51

وَإِذَآ أَنۡعَمۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡإِنسَٰنِ أَعۡرَضَ وَنَـَٔا بِجَانِبِهِۦ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ فَذُو دُعَآءٍ عَرِيضٖ

51. When We bestow favor upon man, he turns away and distances himself with pride; but when evil fortune touches him, he makes lengthy supplications.

Ayah: 52

قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ كَفَرۡتُم بِهِۦ مَنۡ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنۡ هُوَ فِي شِقَاقِۭ بَعِيدٖ

52. Say: "Have you considered if it 'this Qur’an' is from Allāh 'God'; then you deny it, who is more astray than he who is in extreme dissension, far away 'from Truth'?"

Ayah: 53

سَنُرِيهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا فِي ٱلۡأٓفَاقِ وَفِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمۡ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡحَقُّۗ أَوَلَمۡ يَكۡفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٌ

53. We will show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own selves, until it becomes clear to them that this 'Qur’an' is the very Truth. Is it not enough that your Lord 'Allāh' is a Witness over all things?

Ayah: 54

أَلَآ إِنَّهُمۡ فِي مِرۡيَةٖ مِّن لِّقَآءِ رَبِّهِمۡۗ أَلَآ إِنَّهُۥ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٖ مُّحِيطُۢ
