To Him (Alone) is referred the knowledge of the Hour[]. No fruit
comes out of its sheath, nor does a female conceive, nor brings forth (young),
except by His Knowledge. And on the Day when He will call unto them
(polytheists) (saying): "Where are My (so-called) partners (whom you did
invent)?" They will say: "We inform You that none of us bears witness
to it (that they are Your partners)!" (47) And those whom they
used to invoke before before (in this world) shall disappear from them, and
they will perceive that they have no place of refuge (from Allâh's
punishment).[] (48) Man (the disbeliever) does not get tired of asking good (things
from Allâh), but if an evil touches him, then he gives up all hope and is lost
in despair. (49) And truly, if We give him a taste of mercy from Us, after some
adversity (severe poverty or disease, etc.) has touched him, he is sure to say:
"This is due to me (merit), I think not that the Hour will be established.
But if I am brought back to my Lord, surely, there will be for me the best
(wealth) with Him. Then, We verily, will show to the disbelievers what they
have done and We shall make them taste a severe torment. (50) And when We show favour
to man, he withdraws and turns away; but when evil touches him, then he has
recourse to long supplications. (51) Say: "Tell me, if it (the Qur'ân) is
from Allâh, and you disbelieve in it, who is more astray than one who is in
opposition far away (from Allâh's Right Path and His obedience). (52) We will show them Our
Signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to
them that this (the Qur'ân) is the truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to
your Lord that He is a Witness over all things? (53) Verily, they are in
doubt concerning the Meeting with their Lord? (i.e. Resurrection after their
death, and their return to their Lord). Verily! He it is Who is surrounding all
things! (54)
