وَإِذَا مَسَّ النَّاسَ ضُرٌّ دَعَوْا رَبَّهُمْ مُنِیبِینَ إِلَیْهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا أَذَاقَهُمْ مِنْهُ رَحْمَةً إِذَا فَرِیقٌ مِنْهُمْ بِرَبِّهِمْ یُشْرِکُونَ(( 33 ))

33- WHEN PEOPLE ARE TOUCHED WITH A TROUBLE, THEY CALL THEIR LORD (FOR HELP) WHILE TURNING TO HIM, (IN PRAYER) THEN WHEN HE MAKES THEM TO TASTE OF HIS MERCY, SOME OF THEM ASSIGN ASSOCIATES TO THEIR LORD.

لِیَکْفُرُوا بِمَا آتَیْنَاهُمْ فَتَمَتَّعُوا فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ(( 34 ))

34- LET THEM DENY WHAT WE HAVE GIVEN THEM, THAT THEY MAY ENJOY THEMSELVES (FOR A LITTLE WHILE) AND SOON WILL THEY COME TO KNOW. (THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ENJOYMENT)

أَمْ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ سُلْطَاناً فَهُوَ یَتَکَلَّمُ بِمَا کَانُوا بِهِ یُشْرِکُونَ(( 35 ))

35- OR HAVE WE SENT DOWN UPON THEM ANY AUTHORITY TO SPEAK OF WHAT THEY ASSOCIATED WITH HIM? (IN ORDER TO CONFIRM IT)

وَإِذَا أَذَقْنَا النَّاسَ رَحْمَةً فَرِحُوا بِهَا وَإِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَیِّئَةٌ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَیْدِیهِمْ إِذَا هُمْ یَقْنَطُونَ(( 36 ))

36- AND WHEN WE HAVE A MERCY ON PEOPLE TO TASTE, THEY REJOICE IN IT, BUT IF SOMETHING BAD BEFALLS THEM FOR WHAT THEIR OWN HANDS HAVE SENT FORTH, THEY ABANDON TO DESPAIR.
