Chapter 39, Page 464, Juz 24

47. If the evildoers possessed the earth’s assets twice over they would offer them to ransom themselves from the terrible suffering on the Day of Resurrection: God will show them something they had not reckoned with, 48. the evil of their deeds will become plain to them, and they will be overwhelmed by that at which they used to laugh. 49. When man suffers some affliction, he cries out to Us, but when We favour him with Our blessing, he says, ‘All this has been given to me because of my knowledge’- it is only a test, though most of them do not know it. 50. Those who lived before them said the same. What they did was of no use to them; 51. they suffered its evil effects. Today’s wrongdoers will also suffer the evil effects of their deeds: they will not escape. 52. Do they not know that God provides abun-dantly for anyone He will and gives sparingly to anyone He will? There truly are signs in this for those who believe.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
