لاَ یَسْأَمُ الاِْنْسَانُ مِنْ دُعَاءِ الْخَیْرِ وَإِنْ مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَیَئُوسٌ قَنُوطٌ(( 49 ))

49- MAN GETS NOT WEARIED OF PRAYING FOR GOOD (THINGS), BUT IF EVIL BEFALLS HIM, THEN HE LOSES HOPE AND ABANDONS TO DESPAIR.

وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَاهُ رَحْمَةً مِنَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ ضَرَّاءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَیَقُولَنَّ هَذَا لِی وَمَا أَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَائِمَةً وَلَئِنْ رُجِعْتُ إِلَى رَبِّی إِنَّ لِی عِنْدَهُ لَلْحُسْنَى فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُوا بِمَا عَمِلُوا وَلَنُذِیقَنَّهُمْ مِنْ عَذَاب غَلِیظ(( 50 ))

50- AND IF WE LET HIM TASTE A MERCY FROM US, AFTER THE ADVERSITY THAT TOUCHED HIM, HE WILL SAY:- ``I DESERVED IT; AND I DON'T THINK THE HOUR WILL BE ESTABLISHED. AND

EVEN IF I EVER RETURN TO MY LORD, VERILY WITH HIM IS A GOOD REWARD FOR ME.''

      WE WILL CERTAINLY INFORM THOSE WHO DISBELIEVED, OF WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING, AND WE WILL LET THEM TASTE OF A CONCENTRATED PUNISHMENT.

وَإِذَا أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى الاِْنْسَانِ أَعْرَضَ وَنَآى بِجَانِبِهِ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَذُو دُعَاء عَرِیض(( 51 ))

51- AND WHEN WE BESTOW OUR BOUNTY ON MAN, HE TURNS AWAY, AND WITHDRAWS PROUDLY. AND WHEN AN EVIL TOUCHES HIM, HE IS IN A WIDE SUPPLICATION.

قُلْ أَرَأَیْتُمْ إِنْ کَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ ثُمَّ کَفَرْتُمْ بِهِ مَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنْ هُوَ فِی شِقَاق بَعِید(( 52 ))

52- SAY:- ``WHAT IF IT (THE QURÄN) IS REALLY FROM GOD, AND YOU HAVE IT REJECTED?'' WHO IS MORE ASTRAY THAN HE WHO IS IN A FAR SCHISM?
