لَا

يَمۡلِكُ

بَعۡضُكُمۡ

لِبَعۡضٖ

نَّفۡعٗا

وَلَا

ضَرّٗا

وَنَقُولُ

لِلَّذِينَ

Chapter 34, Page 433, Juz 22

37. Your riches or your children are not the things that bring you near Us closely; however, the one who believes and acts righteously (is close to Us). Therefore, such people will have the double reward for what they did, and they will be at peace in the upper chambers (of Paradise). 38. As for those who strive against our signs trying to frustrate (them), they will be arraigned into the torment. 39. Say, “ Surely, my Lord extends provision for whomsoever He wills, and straitens (it) for him. And whatever thing you spend, He replaces it, and He is the best of the sustainers. 40. (Remember) the Day when He will gather all of them together, then will say to the angels, “Is it you that these people used to worship?” 41. They will say, “Pure are You! You are our mentor, not these. Rather, they used to worship the Jinns. Most of these believed in them.” 42. So, you have no power today to benefit or harm one another, and We will say to the wrongdoers, “Taste the punishment of the Fire that you used to deny.” 43. When Our evident verses are recited to them, they say, “He is nothing but a man who wishes to divert you from what your fathers used to worship.” And they say, “This is nothing but a forged lie.” And the disbelievers say about the Truth, when it came to them, “This is nothing but an explicit magic.” 44. We did not give them any books that they might study, nor did We send to them any warner before you. 45. And those before them had rejected (the prophets), while these (infidels of Makkah) have not reached even one tenth of what We gave to those (before them). So, they rejected my Messengers. Then (imagine) how was My censure!
