The Majestic Quran

43 Have they chosen intermediaries beside God? Say: “Though they haven’t got power nor understanding?” 44 Say: “God has complete authority for intercession.” He controls the Heavens and the Earth, then to Him you shall be returned. 45 When God’s Oneness is declared, the disbelievers of the Hereafter hat e 32 it intensely, yet when their gods beside God are mentioned they are thrilled. 46 Say: “God, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen worlds, You shall decide between Your servants about their differences.” A 47 If everything on Earth plus twice as much belonged to the wicked, they would happily offer it as a ransom against the terrible punishment of Judgement Day. God will show them what they couldn’t have imagined. 48 Their evil deeds will be disclosed, and their mocking will track them as punishment . 49 When people are distressed they call on Us, but when We give them Our gifts, they claim: “We’ve been given this because of our knowledge.” No, it is a test but most do not know this. 50 Those before them said the same. Their works will not save them that Day . 51 The evil of what they did will distress them; the sinners will suffer the distress because of their deeds, and they will not escape. 52 Don’t they know God provides plentifully to some and sparingly to others as He pleases. In that are lessons for the faithful. I 53 Say: “My servants who wronged themselves, don’t be hopeless of God’s Kindness; God forgives all the sins, He is the Forgiver, the Kind.” 54 Turn devoutly to your Lord, and submit to Him before the punishment overtakes you – then you shall not be helped. 55 And follow the best teachings sent down to you by your Lord before the unexpected punishment overtakes you when you are unaware 56 and a soul will cry out: “Woe to me since I disobeyed God and mocked His revelations .” 57 Or he will say, “Had God guided me I would be among the pious,” 58 or when he sees the punishment he will say, “If I could live again I would be among the righteous.” 59 No, My signs came to you but you denied them; you were arrogant and among the disbelievers. 60 You will see on Judgement Day those who denied God, their faces darkened – isn’t Hell
