THE TEST PAPER
As for man, when his Lord tests him by exalting
him and bestowing favours on him, he says: ‘My
Lord is bountiful to me.’ But when He tests him by
restricting his subsistence, he says: ‘My Lord
humiliates me.’
No! But you show no kindness to the orphan, nor
do you urge one another to feed the poor. Greedily
you lay your hands on the inheritance of the weak,
and you love riches with all your hearts.
No! But when the earth is crushed to fine dust,
and your Lord comes down with the angels, in
their ranks, and Hell is brought near -- on that day
man will remember his deeds. But what will
memory avail him?
He will say: ‘Would that I had done good works in
my lifetime!’ But on that day none will punish as
He will punish, nor will any bind with chains like
His.
