Do they not know that Allah extends the provision to whomever He wills, and constricts it? In that are signs for people who believe.
Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves: do not despair of Allah's mercy, for Allah forgives all sins. He is indeed the Forgiver, the Clement."

And follow the best of what was revealed to you from your Lord, before the punishment comes upon you suddenly, while you are unaware.
So that a soul may not say, "How sorry I am, for having neglected my duty to Allah, and for having been of the scoffers."
Or say, "Had Allah guided me; I would have been of the pious."
Or say, when it sees the penalty, "If only I had another chance, I would be of the virtuous."
Yes indeed! My Verses did come to you, but you called them lies, turned arrogant, and were of the faithless.
On the Day of Resurrection, you will see those who told lies about Allah with their faces blackened. Is there not a place in Hell for the arrogant?
