the pen (holy qur'an)

068:042 The Day that the shin shall be laid bare, and they shall be summoned to bow in adoration, but they shall not be able,-

068:043 Their eyes will be cast down,- ignominy will cover them; seeing that they had been summoned aforetime to bow in adoration, while they were whole, (and had refused).

068:044 Then leave Me alone with such as reject this Message: by degrees shall We punish them from directions they perceive not.

068:045 A (long) respite will I grant them: truly powerful is My Plan.

068:046 Or is it that thou dost ask them for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt?-

068:047 Or that the Unseen is in their hands, so that they can write it down?068:048 So wait with patience for the Command of thy Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish,- when he cried out in agony.

068:049 Had not Grace from his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been cast off on the naked shore, in disgrace.

068:050 Thus did his Lord choose him and make him of the Company of the Righteous.068:051 And the Unbelievers would almost trip thee up with their eyes when they hear the Message; and they say: "Surely he is possessed!"

068:052 But it is nothing less than a Message to all the worlds.
