21. 21.42 . Say : Who guardeth you in the night or in the day from the Beneficent? Nay , but they turn away from mention of their Lord ,
21. 21.43 . Or have they gods who can shield them from Us? They cannot help themselves nor can they be defended from Us .
21. 21.44 . Nay , but We gave these and their fathers ease until life grew long for them . See they not how we visit the land , reducing it of its outlying parts? Can they then be the victors?
21. 21.45 . Say ( O Muhammad , unto mankind ) : I warn you only by the Inspiration . But the deaf hear not the call when they are warned .

21. 21.47 . And We set a just balance for the Day of Resurrection so that no soul is wronged in aught . Though it be of the weight of a grain of mustard seed , We bring it . And We suffice for reckoners .
21. 21.48 . And We verily gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion ( of right and wrong ) and a light and a Reader far those who keep from evil
21. 21.49 . Those who tear their Lord in secret and who dread the Hour ( of doom ) .
21. 21.50 . This is a blessed Reminder that We have revealed : Will ye then reject it?
