(37) And whoever Allah guides - for him there is no misleader. Is not Allah Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution? (38) And if you asked them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "Allah." Say, "Then have you considered what you invoke besides Allah? If Allah intended me harm, are they removers of His harm; or if He intended me mercy, are they withholders of His mercy?" Say, "Sufficient for me is Allah; upon Him [alone] rely the [wise] reliers." (39) Say, "O my people, work according to your position, [for] indeed, I am working; and you are going to know (40) To whom will come a torment disgracing him and on whom will descend an enduring punishment."
ومن يهد الله فما له من مضل أليس الله بعزيز ذي انتقام * ولئن سألتهم من خلق السماوات والأرض ليقولن الله قل أفرأيتم ما تدعون من دون الله إن أرادني الله بضر هل هن كاشفات ضره أو أرادني برحمة هل هن ممسكات رحمته قل حسبي الله عليه يتوكل المتوكلون * قل يا قوم اعملوا على مكانتكم إنى عامل فسوف تعلمون من يأتيه عذاب يخزيه ويحل عليه عذاب مقيمThe Shaykh : But.
