Or is it that you (O Prophet) demand remuneration from them? But the remuneration from your Lord is best, and He is the best of all givers.

Chapter 23, Page 346, Juz 18

62. We do not place a burden on anyone except according to his ability. With Us there is a book which speaks with truth, and they shall not be wronged. 63. But their hearts are in ignorance about this, and they have deeds, other than that, which they are continuously doing. 64. Until when We will seize their affluent ones with punishment, they will suddenly start crying. 65. (Then it will be said to them,) “Do not cry today. You will not be helped by Us. 66. My verses used to be recited to you, but you used to turn back on your heels 67. in arrogance, making it a subject of tales at night, talking nonsense (about it).” 68. Then, is it that they did not ponder over the Word (of Allah), or there has come to them something that did not come to their forefathers? 69. Or did they not recognize their messenger and therefore they denied him? 70. Or do they say, “He is suffering from madness?” No, but he has come to them with truth, but it is the truth that most of them dislike. 71. Had the truth followed their desires, the heavens and the earth and all those therein would have fallen in total disorder. However, We have brought to them their advice, but it is their advice that they are averse to. 72. Or is it that you (O Prophet) demand remuneration from them? But the remuneration from your Lord is best, and He is the best of all givers. 73. Surely you are inviting them to a straight path, 74. and those who do not believe in the Hereafter are surely the deviators from the Path. 75. And if We have mercy on them and remove whatever distress they have, they would still persist obstinately in their rebellion, wandering blindly (in disbelief). 76. We have already seized them with punishment, but they did not turn humble to their Lord, nor do they supplicate in humility, 77. until when We will open against them the door of a severe punishment, they will be taken aback in despair.
