Read in Context

Chapter 16, Page 273, Juz 14

51. Allah hath said: Choose not two gods. There is only One Allah. So of Me, Me only, be in awe. 52. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth, and religion is His for ever. Will ye then fear any other than Allah? 53. And whatever of comfort ye enjoy, it is from Allah. Then, when misfortune reacheth you, unto Him ye cry for help. 54. And afterward, when He hath rid you of the misfortune, behold! a set of you attribute partners to their Lord, 55. So as to deny that which We have given them. Then enjoy life (while ye may), for ye will come to know. 56. And they assign a portion of that which We have given them unto what they know not. By Allah! but ye will indeed be asked concerning (all) that ye used to invent. 57. And they assign unto Allah daughters - Be He Glorified! - and unto themselves what they desire; 58. When if one of them receiveth tidings of the birth of a female, his face remaineth darkened, and he is wroth inwardly. 59. He hideth himself from the folk because of the evil of that whereof he hath had tidings, (asking himself): Shall he keep it in contempt, or bury it beneath the dust. Verily evil is their judgment. 60. For those who believe not in the Hereafter is an evil similitude, and Allah's is the Sublime Similitude. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
