Al-Mu'minun 23:71 ولو اتبع الحق اهواءهم لفسدت السماوات والارض ومن فيهن بل اتيناهم بذكرهم فهم عن ذكرهم معرضون ٧١

23:71
وَلَوِ

ٱلۡحَقُّ
أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ
لَفَسَدَتِ
ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ
وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ
وَمَن
فِيهِنَّۚ
بَلۡ
أَتَيۡنَٰهُم
بِذِكۡرِهِمۡ
فَهُمۡ
عَن
ذِكۡرِهِم
مُّعۡرِضُونَ

Chapter 23, Page 346, Juz 18

62. We do not burden any soul with more than it can bear- We have a Record that tells the truth- they will not be wronged. 63. But the disbelievers’ hearts are steeped [in ignorance of ] all this; and there are other things besides this that they do. 64. When We bring Our punishment on those corrupted with wealth, they will cry for help: 65. ‘Do not cry out today: you will get no help from Us. 66. Time and time again My messages were recited to you, but you turned arrogantly on your heels, 67. and spent the evening making fun of [the Quran].’ 68. Have they not contemplated the Word of God? Has something come to them that did not come to their forefathers? 69. Do they not recognize their Messenger? So why do they reject him? 70. Why do they say he is possessed? He has brought them the truth and most of them hate it, 71. but if the truth were in accordance with their desires, the heavens, the earth, and everyone in them would disintegrate. We have brought them their Reminder and they turn away from it. 72. Do you [Prophet] ask them for any payment? Your Lord’s is the best payment: He is the Best of Providers. 73. You call them to a straight path 74. and those who do not believe in the Hereafter turn away from that path. 75. Even if We were to show them mercy and relieve them of distress, they would blindly persist in their transgression. 76. We have already afflicted them, yet they did not submit to their Lord: they will not humble themselves 77. until We open a gate to severe torment for them- then they will be plunged into utter despair.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
