[23:60]
And those who give that which they give with
hearts afraid because they are about to return unto their Lord,
[23:61]
These race for the good things, and they shall
win them in the race.
[23:62]
And we task not any soul beyond its scope, and
with Us is a Record which speaketh the truth, and they
will not be wronged.
[23:63]
Nay, but their hearts are in ignorance of this
(Qur’an), and they have other works, besides, which they are doing;
[23:64]
Till when We grasp
their luxurious ones with the punishment, behold! they
supplicate.
[23:65]
Supplicate not this day! Assuredly ye will not
be helped by Us.
[23:66]
My revelations were recited unto you, but ye
used to turn back on your heels,
[23:67]
In scorn thereof. Nightly did ye rave together.
[23:68]
Have they not pondered the Word, or hath that
come unto them which came not unto their fathers of old ?
[23:69]
Or know they not their messenger, and so reject him ?
[23:70]
Or say they: There is a madness in him ? Nay, but he bringeth them the Truth; and most of them
are haters of the Truth.
[23:71]
And if the Truth had
followed their desires, verily the heavens and the earth and whosoever is
therein had been corrupted. Nay, We have brought them their Reminder, but from their Reminder
they now turn away.
[23:72]
Or dost thou ask of them (O Muhammad) any tribute ? But the bounty of thy Lord is better, for He is Best of all who make provision.
[23:73]
And lo! thou summonest
them indeed unto a straight path.
[23:74]
And lo! those who believe
not in the Hereafter are indeed astray from the path.
