Among those We created is a community—they guide by truth, and do justice thereby.
As for those who reject Our messages, We will gradually lead them from where they do not know.
And I will encourage them. My plan is firm.
Do they not think? There is no madness in their friend. He is but a plain warner.
Have they not observed the government of the heavens and the earth, and all the things that Allah created, and that their time may have drawn near? Which message, besides this, will they believe in?
Whomever Allah misguides has no guide. And He leaves them blundering in their transgression.
They ask you about the Hour, "When will it come?" Say, "Knowledge of it rests with my Lord. None can reveal its coming except He. It weighs heavily on the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except suddenly." They ask you as if you are responsible for it. Say, "Knowledge of it rests with Allah," but most people do not know.
Say, "I have no control over any benefit or harm to myself, except as Allah wills. Had I known the future, I would have acquired much good, and no harm would have touched me. I am only a warner, and a herald of good news to a people who believe."
It is He who created you from a single person, and made from it its mate, that he may find comfort with her. Then, when he has covered her, she conceives a light load, and she carries it around. But when she has grown heavy, they pray to Allah their Lord, "if You give us a good child, we will be among the thankful."
But when He has given them a good child, they attribute partners to Him in what He has given them. Allah is exalted above what they associate.
