47. Every community is sent a mes-senger, and when their messenger comes, they will be judged justly; they will not be wronged. 48. They ask, ‘When will this promise be fulfilled, if what you say is true?’ 49. Say [Prophet], ‘I cannot control any harm or benefit that comes to me, except as God wills. There is an appointed term for every community, and when it is reached they can neither delay nor hasten it, even for a moment.’ 50.

Will you believe in it, when it actually happens?’ It will be said, ‘Now [you believe], when [before] you sought to hasten it?’ 52. It will be said to the evildoers, ‘Taste lasting punishment. Why should you be rewarded for anything but what you did?’ 53. They ask you [Prophet], ‘Is it true?’ Say, ‘Yes, by my Lord, it is true, and you cannot escape it.’
