P:  And he whom Allah guideth, for him there can be no misleader.  Is not Allah Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong)?

S:  And whom Allah guides, there is none that can lead him astray; is not Allah Mighty, the Lord of retribution?

039.038 Y:  If indeed thou ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they would be sure to say, “Allah”.  Say:  “See ye then? the things that ye invoke besides Allah,- can they, if Allah wills some Penalty for me, remove His Penalty?- Or if He wills some Grace for me, can they keep back his Grace?” Say:  “Sufficient is Allah for me!  In Him trust those who put their trust.”

P:  And verily, if thou shouldst ask them:  Who created the heavens and the earth? they will say:  Allah.  Say:  Bethink you then of those ye worship beside Allah, if Allah willed some hurt for me, could they remove from me His hurt; or if He willed some mercy for me, could they restrain His mercy?  Say:  Allah is my all.  In Him do (all) the trusting put their trust.

S:  And should you ask them, Who created the heavens and the earth?  They would most certainly say:  Allah.  Say:  Have you then considered that what you call upon besides Allah, would they, if Allah desire to afflict me with harm, be the removers of His harm, or (would they), if Allah desire to show me mercy, be the withholders of His mercy?  Say:  Allah is sufficient for me; on Him do the reliant rely.

039.039 Y:  Say:  “O my People!  Do whatever ye can:  I will do (my part):  but soon will ye know-”

P:  Say:  O my people!  Act in your manner.  Lo!  I (too) am acting.  Thus ye will come to know

S:  Say:  O my people! work in your place, surely I am a worker, so you will come to know.

039.040 Y:  “Who it is to whom comes a Penalty of ignominy, and on whom descends a Penalty that abides.”

P:  Who it is unto whom cometh a doom that will abase him, and on whom there falleth everlasting doom.

S:  Who it is to whom there shall come a punishment which will disgrace him and to whom will be due a lasting punishment.

039.041 Y:  Verily We have revealed the Book to thee in Truth, for (instructing) mankind.  He, then, that receives guidance benefits his own soul:  but he that strays injures his own soul.  Nor art thou set over them to dispose of their affairs.

P:  Lo!  We have revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture for mankind with truth.  Then whosoever goeth right it is for his soul, and whosoever strayeth, strayeth only to its hurt.  And thou art not a warder over them.

S:  Surely We have revealed to you the Book with the truth for the sake of men; so whoever follows the right way, it is for his own soul and whoever errs, he errs only to its detriment; and you are not a custodian over them.

039.042 Y:  It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep:  those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.
