M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

We say to it, Be, and it is.

41. And those who fly for Allah’s sake after they are oppressed,We will most certainly give them a good abode in the world, and the reward of the hereafter is certainly much greater, did they but know;

42. Those who are patient and on their Lord do they rely.

43. And We did not send before you any but men to whom We sent revelation — so ask the followers of the Reminder if you do not know —

44. With clear arguments and scriptures; and We have revealed to you the Reminder that you may make clear to men what has been revealed to them, and that haply they may reflect.

45. Do they then who plan evil (deeds) feel secure (of this) that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them or that punishment may overtake them from whence they do not perceive?

46. Or that He may seize them in the course of their journeys, then shall they not escape;

47. Or that He may seize them by causing them to suffer gradual loss, for your Lord is most surely Compassionate, Merciful.
