Chapter 23, Page 346, Juz 18

62. On no soul do We place a burden greater than it can bear: before Us is a record which clearly shows the truth: they will never be wronged. 63. But their hearts are in confused ignorance of this; and there are, besides that, deeds of theirs, which they will (continue) to do,- 64. Until, when We seize in Punishment those of them who received the good things of this world, behold, they will groan in supplication! 65. (It will be said): "Groan not in supplication this day: for ye shall certainly not be helped by Us. 66. "My Signs used to be rehearsed to you, but ye used to turn back on your heels- 67. "In arrogance: talking nonsense about the (Qur'an), like one telling fables by night." 68. Do they not ponder over the Word (of Allah), or has anything (new) come to them that did not come to their fathers of old? 69. Or do they not recognise their Messenger, that they deny him? 70. Or do they say, "He is possessed"? Nay, he has brought them the Truth, but most of them hate the Truth. 71. If the Truth had been in accord with their desires, truly the heavens and the earth, and all beings therein would have been in confusion and corruption! Nay, We have sent them their admonition, but they turn away from their admonition. 72. Or is it that thou askest them for some recompense? But the recompense of thy Lord is best: He is the Best of those who give sustenance. 73. But verily thou callest them to the Straight Way; 74. And verily those who believe not in the Hereafter are deviating from that Way. 75. If We had mercy on them and removed the distress which is on them, they would obstinately persist in their transgression, wandering in distraction to and fro. 76. We inflicted Punishment on them, but they humbled not themselves to their Lord, nor do they submissively entreat (Him)!- 77. Until We open on them a gate leading to a severe Punishment: then Lo! they will be plunged in despair therein!
