When hardship touches a person, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him. But when Allah grants him a favour, he forgets what he prayed for before and sets up rivals to Allah, leading others astray. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief for a little while, you will be among the people of the Fire."

So that Allah may punish the hypocrites, men and women, and the idolaters, men and women, and turn in mercy to the believers, men and women.

When he embraces her, she carries a light burden and moves about freely. But when it grows heavy, they call upon Allah, their Lord, saying, “If You grant us a good child, we will be grateful.”

But when He grants them a healthy child, they attribute partners to Him in what He has given them.

When hardship strikes at sea, those you invoke vanish, except Him. But when He brings you safely to shore, you turn away. Man is ever ungrateful.

But when He removes your distress, some among you return to their idols

"Besides Allah?" They will reply, "They have abandoned us. In truth, we never worshiped anything." That is how Allah leads the disbelievers astray.

But their faith was of no benefit once they witnessed Our punishment. This has always been Allah’s way with His servants; the disbelievers were utterly lost.

When they saw Our punishment, they cried, "We believe in Allah alone and reject what we had been associating with Him!"

Among people is one who worships Allah on the edge: if good befalls him, he is content; but if trial strikes, he turns away, losing both this world and the next. That is the clearest loss.

What you call them to is burdensome for the idolaters.

They assign to Allah what they dislike for themselves, and their tongues utter lies: “The best belongs to us.”

Let them deny what We have given them and enjoy themselves for a while, they will soon know.

Yet they worship besides Allah what He has sent no authority for, and what they have no knowledge of. The wrongdoers will have no helper.

Why then did those they took as gods besides Allah not help them? Instead, they vanished from them. That was their lie and what they used to fabricate.

They took their rabbis and monks as lords besides Allah, as well as the Messiah, son of Mary, though they were commanded to worship only one God. There is no god but Him.

As for the believers, Jews, Sabaeans, Christians, Magians, and polytheists, Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection.

He nearly led us away from our gods, had we not been steadfast.” But soon they will know, when they see the punishment, who is furthest astray.

Say, “Come, let me recite what your Lord has forbidden: Do not associate anything with Him.

Say, "I am forbidden to worship those you call upon besides Allah, since clear proofs have come to me from my Lord. I am commanded to submit to the Lord of all worlds."

Say, “My Lord has forbidden shameful deeds, both open and hidden, sin, oppression, associating others with Him without authority, and speaking about Him without knowledge.”

Say, “Travel the earth and see the fate of those before you, most of them were polytheists.”

You will surely be tested in your wealth and yourselves, and you will hear much abuse from those who were given the Scripture before you and from the polytheists. But if you remain patient and mindful of Allah, that is the best course.

We are sufficient for you against those who mock

Turn away from those who associate others with Him.

If you obey them, you will be among the wrongdoers.

But if they pressure you to associate with Me what you have no knowledge of, do not obey them. To Me is your return, and I will inform you of what you did.

If any of them were to say, “I am a god besides Him,” We would punish him with Hell. This is how We repay the wrongdoers.
