those who walk aright [true believers in the Oneness of Allh who fear Allh much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden), and love Allh much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)]. And the righteous good deeds that last, are better with your Lord, for reward and better for resort.

77. Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our Ayt (this Qur'n and Muhammad ) and (yet) says: "I shall certainly be given wealth and children [if I will be alive (again)],"

78. Has he known the unseen or has he taken a covenant from the Most Beneficent (Allh)?

79. Nay! We shall record what he says, and We shall increase his torment (in the Hell);

80. And We shall inherit from him (at his death) all that he talks of (i.e. wealth and children which We have bestowed upon him in this world), and he shall come to Us alone.

81. And they have taken (for worship) liha (gods) besides Allh, that they might give them honour, power and glory (and also protect them from Allh's Punishment etc.).

82. Nay, but they (the so-called gods) will deny their worship of them, and become opponents to them (on the Day of Resurrection).

83. See you not that We have sent the Shaytin (devils) against the disbelievers to push them to do evil.

84. So make no haste against them; We only count out to them a (limited) number (of the days of the life of this world and delay their term so that they may increase in evil and sins).

85. The Day We shall gather the Muttaqn (pious - see V.2:2) unto the Most Beneficent (Allh), like a delegate (presented before a king for honour).

86. And We shall drive the Mujrimn (polytheists, sinners, criminals, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allh, etc.) to Hell, in a thirsty state (like a thirsty herd driven down to water),

87. None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from the Most Beneficent (Allh).

88. And they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allh) has begotten a son (or offspring or children) [as the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allh, and the Christians say that He has begotten a son ['Iesa (Christ)], and the pagan Arabs say that He has begotten daughters (angels, etc.)]."

89. Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing.

90. Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins,

91. That they ascribe a son (or offspring or children) to the Most Beneficent (Allh).

92. But it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Beneficent (Allh) that He should beget a son (or offspring or children).

93. There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Beneficent (Allh) as a slave.

94. Verily, He knows each one of them, and has counted them a full counting.

95. And everyone of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection (without any helper, or protector or defender).

96. Verily, those who believe [in the Oneness of Allh and in His Messenger (Muhammad )] and work deeds of righteousness, the Most Beneficent (Allh) will bestow love for them (in the hearts of the believers).

97. So We have made this (the Qur'n) easy in your own tongue (O Muhammad ), only that you may give glad tidings to the Muttaqn (pious and righteous persons - See V.2:2), and warn with it the Ludda (most quarrelsome) people.

98. And how many a generation before them have We destroyed! Can you (O Muhammad ) find a single one of them or hear even a whisper of them?
