Yet when they are told, ‘Beware of what lies before and behind you, so that you may be given mercy,’ they ignore every single sign that comes to them from their Lord, and when they are told, ‘Give to others out of what God has provided for you,’ the disbelievers say to the believers, ‘Why should we feed those that God could feed if He wanted? You must be deeply misguided.’ And they should we feed those that God could feed if He wanted? You must be deeply misguided.’ And they say, ‘When will this promise be fulfilled, if what you say is true?’ But all they are waiting for is a single blast that will overtake them while they are still arguing with each other. They will have no say, ‘When will this promise be fulfilled, if what you say is true?’ But all they are waiting for is a single blast that will overtake them while they are still arguing with each other. They will have no time to make bequests, nor will they have the chance to return to their own people. (36:45-50) A new translation by M. A. S. ABDEL HALEEM

*Off-topic “thoughts”: Unfortunately, I have to learn to say “No”. This has been the hardest trial for me ever. For most of my life, I’ve given freely/feed those in need. I realize that all these mysterious “encounters” have been “using” me/my “help” to their “advantage”, although in their minds they are in desperate need of me/my “support”. Yet, I felt that I had to “take a break” from tonight’s singing. I felt really bad to the bones/sick and tired to my guts for refusing what I could have done quite easily and without second thought. Alas, the decision was mine because I have observed incorrect technicalities, which would have embarrassed the “substitute”. Amen.
