وَمَا ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لاَ يَشْكُرُونَ

 

wamā ẓannu alladhīna yaftarūna ʿalā l-lahi l-kadhiba yawma l-qiyāmati inna l-laha ladhū faḍlin ʿalā l-nāsi walākinna aktharahum lā yashkurūna

 

The Aya says:

And what do the ones who concoct falsehoods and attribute them to Allah expect on the day of Judgement?! Indeed Allah is one of Generosity upon the people. However, the majority of them are not grateful.

My personal note:

The Aya reminds people that there will be payback for making things up and attribute them to Allah. The question is rhetorical suggesting that if they expect good things for their false actions then they are really wrong.  The Aya ends by reminding us that the majority of us are not grateful for all the good things that Allah had provided us.  In essence worshipping Allah is thanking Allah for all his blessings upon us.

The Aya continues the subject from the previous one.  It explains that the advice, wisdom, healing and grace.  All those are great gifts from Allah to us as humans and they are much better for us than hoarding or gathering material wealth.
