58. But those who believe and work deeds of righteousness - to them shall We
give a Home in Heaven,- lofty mansions beneath which flow rivers,- to dwell
therein for aye;- an excellent reward for those who do (good)!-
59. Those who persevere in patience, and put their trust, in their Lord and
Cherisher.
60. How many are the creatures that carry not their own sustenance? It is Allah
who feeds (both) them and you: for He hears and knows (all things).
61. If indeed thou ask them who has created the heavens and the earth and
subjected the sun and the moon (to his Law), they will certainly reply,
"(Allah)". How are they then deluded away (from the truth)?
62. Allah enlarges the sustenance (which He gives) to whichever of His servants
He pleases; and He (similarly) grants by (strict) measure, (as He pleases): for
Allah has full knowledge of all things.
63. And if indeed thou ask them who it is that sends down rain from the sky, and
gives life therewith to the earth after its death, they will certainly reply,
"(Allah)!" Say, "Praise be to Allah." But most of them understand not.
64. What is the life of this world but amusement and play? but verily the Home
in the Hereafter,- that is life indeed, if they but knew.
65. Now, if they embark on a boat, they call on Allah, making their devotion
sincerely (and exclusively) to Him; but when He has delivered them safely to
(dry) land, behold, they give a share (of their worship to others)!-
66. Disdaining ungratefully Our gifts, and giving themselves up to (worldly)
enjoyment! But soon will they know.
67. Do they not then see that We have made a sanctuary secure, and that men are
being snatched away from all around them? Then, do they believe in that which is
vain, and reject the Grace of Allah.
68. And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allah or rejects
the Truth when it reaches him? Is there not a home in Hell for those who reject
Faith?
69. And those who strive in Our (cause),- We will certainly guide them to our
Paths: For verily Allah is with those who do right.
