Read in Context

Chapter 21, Page 326, Juz 17

42. Tell them, (O Muhammad): "Who protects you, during the night or the day from the Most Compassionate Lord?" And yet they turn away from the Admonition of their Lord. 43. Do they have any gods who would protect them against Us? They have no power even to help themselves; nor do they enjoy Our support. 44. Nay, We generously provided them and their fathers, and they enjoyed Our provision for long. Do they not see that We are now advancing into their territory, diminishing it from different sides? Is it they, then, who will triumph?" 45. Tell them: "I only warn you by the Revelation." But the deaf do not hear the cry when they are warned. 46. Were only the slightest whiff from your Lord's punishment to touch them, they would cry out: "Woe to us; we were indeed wrong-doers." 47. We shall set up just scales on the Day of Resurrection so that none will be wronged in the least. (We shall bring forth the acts of everyone), even if it be the weight of a grain of mustard seed. We shall suffice as Reckoners.

- A. Maududi (Tafhim commentary)
