Certainly, We have brought them a Book (the Qur'ân) which We have
explained in detail with knowledge, - a guidance and a mercy to a people who
believe. (52) Await they just for the final fullfilment of the event? On the
Day the event is finally fulfilled (i.e. the Day of Resurrection), those who
neglected it before will say: "Verily, the Messengers of our Lord did come
with the truth, now are there any intercessors for us that they might intercede
on our behalf? Or could we be sent back (to the first life of the world) so
that we might do (good) deeds other than those (evil) deeds which we used to
do?" Verily, they have lost their ownselves (i.e. destroyed themselves)
and that which they used to fabricate (invoking and worshipping others besides
Allâh) has gone away from them. (53) Indeed your Lord is Allâh, Who created the
heavens and the earth in Six Days, and then He rose over (Istawâ) the Throne
(really in a manner that suits His Majesty). He brings the night as a cover
over the day, seeking it rapidly, and (He created) the sun, the moon, the stars
subjected to His Command. Surely, His is the Creation and Commandment. Blessed
is Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)! (54) Invoke your Lord with
humility and in secret. He likes not the aggressors. (55) And do not do
mischief on the earth, after it has been set in order, and invoke Him with fear
and hope; Surely, Allâh's Mercy is (ever) near unto the good-doers. (56) And it is He Who
sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His Mercy (rain). Till
when they have carried a heavy-laden cloud, We drive it to a land that is dead,
then We cause water (rain) to descend thereon. Then We produce every kind of
fruit therewith. Similarly, We shall raise up the dead, so that you may
remember or take heed. (57)
