The Majestic Quran

36 The disbelievers will be in the Fire of Hell, they won’t die and the punishment will not be reduced for them. That is how We reward every ungrateful person . 37 There they will cry loud, “Our Lord, let us out to do good works, not like what we used to do.” God will say , “Did We not give you long enough to live? Whoever wished to reflect had enough time to do so. And the warner came to you. So, taste the Fire of Hell . There is no helper for the wrongdoers.” T ’ 38 God Knows the unseen in the Heavens and the Earth, He knows people’s innermost thoughts. 39 He made you successors of people on Earth. Anyone who disbelieves must bear the consequences of his disbelief; the disbelief of disbelievers increases the dislike of their Lord; the disbelief of disbelievers only increases loss. 40 Say: “Have you really thought about the false partners you call beside God? Show me what they have created on Earth. Do they have a share of the Heavens, or have We given them a book on whose guidance they rely?” On the contrary, the wrongdoers promise nothing but false hopes to each other. W 41 God keeps the Heavens and Earth from disappearing, were they to disappear, could anyone else preserve them? He is Gentle, Forgiving. 42 They swore solemn oaths by God that if a warner came to them, they would be the most rightly guided people. When a warner came to them, it increased their hatred of the truth , 43 behaving arrogantly in the land and plotting evil – and evil plots only ever rebound on those who devise them. So, what else can they expect but what happened in practice to the people of the past? And you will never see change in God’s good practice, nor will you see a modification in God’s good practice. 44 Haven’t they travelled the Earth and seen how those before them met their end, though they were far greater than them in strength? Nothing in the Heavens or the Earth can weaken God. He is Knowing, Powerful. 45 Were God to take people to task for what wrong they did, then He wouldn’t leave a single creature on the face of the Earth , but He grants a delay for a fixed period for reflection ; when their time comes, that’s it , God observes His servants.
