39* Allah doth blot out or confirm what He pleaseth: with Him is the Mother of the Book.  
| |40* Whether We shall show thee (within thy life-time) part of what We promised them or take to Us thy soul (before it is all accomplished),- thy duty is to make (the Message) reach them: it is Our part to call them to account.  
| |41* See they not that We gradually reduce the land from its outlying borders? (Where) Allah commands, there is none to put back His command: and He is swift in calling to account.  
| |42* Those before them did (also) devise plots; but in all things the master- Allah is the devising all together. He knoweth the doings of every soul: and soon will the Unbelievers know who gets home in the end.  
| |43* The Unbelievers say: "No messenger art thou." Say: "Enough for a witness between me and you is Allah, and such as have knowledge of the Book."
