(39:50) Those before them had already said it, but they were not availed by what they used to earn. (39:51) And the evil consequences of what they earned struck them. And those who have wronged of these [people] will be afflicted by the evil consequences of what they earned; and they will not cause failure. (39:52) Do they not know that Allah extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]? Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe. (39:53) Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." (39:54) And return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him before the punishment comes upon you; then you will not be helped. (39:55) And follow the best of what was revealed to you from your Lord before the punishment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive, (39:56) Lest a soul should say, "Oh [how great is] my regret over what I neglected in regard to Allah and that I was among the mockers."
