Read in Context

Chapter 16, Page 273, Juz 14

51. Allah has said, “Do not take two gods. He is but One God. So, Me alone you fear.” 52. And to Him belongs what is in the heavens and the earth, and it is only He who deserves obedience as ever due. Would you, then, fear someone other than Allah? 53. Whatever blessing you have is from Allah. Then, once you are touched by distress, to Him alone you cry for help. 54. Then, as soon as He removes the distress from you, a group from among you starts ascribing partners to their Lord. 55. Thus, they deny what We have given to them. Well, enjoy yourself (for some time), and soon you will come to know (the fate of your misdeeds). 56. They allocate a share from what We have given to them for those (idols) the reality of whom they do not even know. By Allah, you shall definitely be responsible for the fabrications you have been inventing. 57. They ascribe daughters to Allah - Pure is He - and for themselves is what they desire! 58. When one of them is given the good news of a female child, his face becomes gloomy and he is choked with grief. 59. He hides himself from people because of the (self-presumed) bad news given to him (and wonders): Shall he keep it despite the disgrace (he will face in the society), or put it away into the dust? In fact, evil is what they decide. 60. Those who do not believe in the Hereafter have evil attributes, and to Allah belong the most exalted attributes. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
