39* Say: "O my People! Do whatever ye can: I will do (my part): but soon will ye know-  
| |40* "Who it is to whom comes a chastisement of ignominy, and on whom descends a chastisement that abides."  
| |41* Verily We have revealed the Book to thee in Truth, for (instructing) mankind. He, then, that receives guidance benefits his own soul: but he that strays injures his own soul. Nor art thou set a custodian over them.  
| |42* It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed. Verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.  
| |43* What! Do they take for intercessors others besides Allah? Say: "Even if they have no power whatever and no intelligence?"  
| |44* Say: "To Allah belongs exclusively (the right to grant) intercession: to Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: In the End, it is to Him that ye shall be brought back."  
| |45* When Allah, alone, is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust; but when (gods) other than He are mentioned, behold, they are filled with joy!  
| |46* Say: "O Allah. Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of all that is hidden and open! It is Thou that wilt judge between Thy Servants in those matters about which they have differed."  
| |47* Even if the wrong-doers had all that there is on earth, and as much more, (in vain) would they offer it for ransom from the pain of the Chastisement on the Day of Judgment: but something will confront them from Allah, which they could never have counted upon!  
| |48* For the evils of their Deeds will confront them, and they will be (completely) encircled by that which they used to mock at!
