The Justice of Allah and the Frivolity of the Idolators

Allah tells us of His justice towards His servants in this world, in that He does not task any person except according to his capacity, i.e., He does not burden any soul with more than it can bear. On the Day of Resurrection He will call them to

Chapter 23, Page 346, Juz 18

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. 63. Nay, but their hearts are in ignorance of this (Qur'an), and they have other works, besides, which they are doing; 64. Till when We grasp their luxurious ones with the punishment, behold! they supplicate. 65. Supplicate not this day! Assuredly ye will not be helped by Us. 66. My revelations were recited unto you, but ye used to turn back on your heels, 67. In scorn thereof. Nightly did ye rave together. 68. Have they not pondered the Word, or hath that come unto them which came not unto their fathers of old? 69. Or know they not their messenger, and so reject him? 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. 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. 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. 73. And lo! thou summonest them indeed unto a straight path. 74. And lo! those who believe not in the Hereafter are indeed astray from the path. 75. Though We had mercy on them and relieved them of the harm afflicting them, they still would wander blindly on in their contumacy. 76. Already have We grasped them with punishment, but they humble not themselves unto their Lord, nor do they pray, 77. Until, when We open for them the gate of extreme punishment, behold! they are aghast thereat.
