[40:50]

They say: Came not your messengers unto you with clear proofs ? They say: Yea, verily. They say: Then do ye pray, although the prayer of disbelievers is in vain.

[40:51]

Lo! We verily do help Our messengers, and those who believe, in the life of the world and on the day when the witnesses arise,

[40:52]

The day when their excuse availeth not the evil-doers, and theirs is the curse, and theirs the ill abode.

[40:53]

And We verily gave Moses the guidance, and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit the Scripture,

[40:54]

A guide and a reminder for men of understanding.

[40:55]

Then have patience (O Muhammad). Lo! the promise of Allah is true. And ask forgiveness of thy sin, and hymn the praise of thy Lord at fall of night and in the early hours.

[40:56]

Lo! those who wrangle concerning the revelations of Allah without a warrant having come unto them, there is naught else in their breasts save pride which they will never attain. So take thou refuge in Allah. Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Seer.

[40:57]

Assuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind; but most of mankind know not.

[40:58]

And the blind man and the seer are not equal, neither are those who believe and do good works (equal with) the evil-doer. Little do ye reflect!
