56:59  Did you create it, or did we?
56:60  We have predetermined death for you. Nothing can stop us -
56:61  from substituting new generations in your place, and establishing what you do not know.

56:63  Have you noted the crops you reap?
56:64  Did you grow them, or did we?

56:82  Do you make it your business that you disbelieve?
56:83  When the time comes and it (your soul) reaches your throat -
56:84  you will then look around.
56:85  We are closer to it than you are, but you do not see.
56:86  If it is true that you do not owe any accounting -
56:87  why do you not restore (your soul), if you are truthful?
56:88  If he is one of those close to Me -
56:89  then joy, flowers, and gardens of bliss.
56:90  And if he is one of the right -
56:91  peace is the lot of those on the right.
56:92  But if he is one of the disbelievers, the strayers -
56:93  then an abode of inferno -
56:94  and burning in Hell.
56:95  This is the absolute truth.
56:96  You shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
