And a Sign for them is that We bore their race (through the Flood) in the loaded Ark; (۴۱)

And We have created for them similar (vessels) on which they ride. (۴۲)

If it were Our Will, We could drown them: then would there be no helper (to hear their cry), nor could they be delivered, (۴۳)

Except by way of Mercy from Us, and by way of (world) convenience (to serve them) for a time. (۴۴)

When they are told, "Fear ye that which is before you and that which will be after you, in order that ye may receive Mercy," (they turn back). (۴۵)

Not a Sign comes to them from among the Signs of their Lord, but they turn away therefrom. (۴۶)

And when they are told, "Spend ye of (the bounties) with which Allah has provided you," the Unbelievers say to those who believe: "Shall we then feed those whom, if Allah had so willed, He would have fed, (Himself)?- Ye are in nothing but manifest error." (۴۷)

Further, they say, "When will this promise (come to pass), if what ye say is true?" (۴۸)

They will not (have to) wait for aught but a single Blast: it will seize them while they are yet disputing among themselves! (۴۹)

No (chance) will they then have, by will, to dispose (of their affairs), nor to return to their own people! (۵۰)
