Sura LXVII (67)
The Kingdom
(
________________________________________
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Blessed
be He in whose hand is the Kingdom! and over all things is He potent:
Who
hath created death and life to prove which of you will be most righteous in
deed; and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving!
Who
hath created seven Heavens one above another:
No defect canst thou see in the creation of the God of Mercy: Repeat the gaze:
seest thou a single flaw?
Then
twice more repeat the gaze: thy gaze shall
return to thee dulled and weary.
Moreover
we have decked the lowest heaven with lights, and have placed them there to be
hurled at the Satans, for whom we have prepared the torment of the flaming
fire.
And
for those who believe not in their Lord is the torment of Hell; and horrid the
journey thither!
When
they shall be thrown into it, they shall hear it braying: and it shall boil --
Almost
shall it burst for fury. So oft as a crowd shall be thrown into it, its keepers
shall ask them, "Came not the warner to you?"
They shall
say, Yes! there came to us one charged with warnings; but we treated him as a
liar, and said, "Nothing hath God sent down:
you are in nothing but a vast delusion."
67:10 And they shall say, "Had we but
hearkened or understood, we had not been among the dwellers in the
flames;"
And
their sin shall they acknowledge: but,
"Avaunt, you dwellers in the flame."
But
pardon and a great reward for those who fear their Lord in secret!
Be
your converse hidden or open, He truly knoweth the inmost recess of your
breasts!
What!
shall He not know who hath created? for He is the Subtil, the Cognizant.
It is
He who hath made the earth level for you:
traverse then its broad sides, and eat of what He hath provided. -- Unto Him
shall be the resurrection.
What!
are you sure that He who is in Heaven will not cleave the Earth beneath you?
And lo, it shall quake.
Or are
you sure that He who is in Heaven will not send against you a stone-charged
whirlwind? Then shall you know what my warning meant!
And
verily, those who flourish before you treated their prophets as liars: and how grievous my wrath!
Behold
they not the birds over their heads, outstretching and drawing in their wings?
None, save the God of Mercy, upholdeth them:
for he regardeth all things.
67:20 Who is he that can be as an army to
you, to succour you, except the God of Mercy? Truly, the infidels are in the
merest delusion.
Or who
is he that will furnish you supplies, if He withhold His supplies? Yet do they
persist in pride and in fleeing from Him!
Is he
who goeth along grovelling on his face, better guided than he who goeth upright
on a straight path?
Say: It is He who hath brought you forth, and gifted
you with hearing and sight and heart: yet how
few are grateful!
Say: It is He who hath sown you in the earth, and to
Him shall you be gathered.
And
they say, "When shall this threat be put in force, if you speak the
truth?"
Say: Nay truly, this knowledge is with God alone: and I am only an open warner.
But
when they shall see it nigh, said shall wax the countenances of the infidels: and it shall be said, "This is what you have
been calling for."
Say: What think you? Whether God destroy me or not, and
those who follow me, or whether he have mercy on us, yet who will protect the
infidels from a woeful torment?
Say: He is the God of Mercy:
in Him do we believe, and in Him put we our trust; and you shall know hereafter
who is in a manifest error.
67:30 Say:
What think you? If at early morn your waters shall have sunk away, who then
will give you clear running water?
Sura LXVIII (68)
The Pen
(
________________________________________
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Nun.
By the Pen and by wht they write,
Thou, O
Prophet; by the grace of Thy Lord art not possessed!
And
truly a boundless recompense doth await thee,
For
thou art of a noble nature.
But
thou shalt see and they shall see
Which
of you is the demented.
Now
thy Lord! well knoweth He the man who erreth from his path, and well doth he
know those who have yielded to Guidance;
Give
not place, therefore, to those who treat thee as a liar:
They
desire thee to deal smoothly with them: then
would they be smooth as oil with thee:
68:10 But yield not to the man of oaths, a
despicable person,
Defamer,
going about with slander,
Hinderer
of the good, transgressor, criminal,
Harsh
-- beside thee, impure by birth,
Though
a man of riches and blessed with sons.
Who
when our wondrous verses are recited to him saith -- "Fables of the
ancients."
We
will brand him on the nostrils.
Verily,
we have proved them (the Meccans) as we proved the owners of the garden, when
they swore that at morn they would cut its fruits;
But
added no reserve.
Wherefore
an encircling desolation from thy Lord swept round it while they slumbered,
68:20 And in the morning it was like a
garden whose fruits had all been cut.
Then
at dawn they called to each other,
"Go
out early to your field, if you would cut your dates."
So on they
went whispering to each other,
"No
poor man shall set foot this day within your garden;"
And
they went out at daybreak with this settled purpose.
But
when they beheld it, they said, "Truly we have been in fault:
Yes!
we are forbidden our fruits."
The
most rightminded of them said, "Did I not say to you, Will you not give
praise to God?"
They
said, "Glory to our Lord! Truly we have done amiss."
68:30 And they fell to blaming one another:
They
said, "Oh woe to us! we have indeed transgressed!
Haply
our Lord will give us in exchange a better garden then this: verily we crave it of our Lord."
Such
hath been our chastisement -- but heavier shall be the chastisement of the next
world. Ah! did they but know it.
Verily,
for the God-fearing are gardens of delight in the presence of their Lord.
Shall
we then deal with those who have surrendered themselves to God, as with those
who offend him?
What
hath befallen you that you thus judge?
Have
you a Scripture wherein you can search out
That
you shall have the things you choose?
Or
have you received oaths which shall bind Us even until the day of resurrection,
that you shall have what yourselves judge right?
68:40 As them which of them will guarantee
this?
Or is
it that they have joined gods with God? let them produce those associate-gods
of theirs, if they speak truth.
On the
day when men's legs shall be bared, and they shall be called upon to bow in
adoration, they shall not be able:
Their
looks shall be downcast: shame shall cover
them: because, while yet in safety, they were
invited to bow in worship, but would not obey.
Leave
me alone therefore with him who chargeth this revelation with imposture. We
will lead them by degrees to their ruin; by ways which they know not;
Yet
will I bear long with them; for my plan is sure.
Askest
thou any recompense from them? But they are burdened with debt.
Are
the secret things within their ken? Do they copy them from the Book of God?
Patiently
then await the judgment of thy Lord, and be not like him who was in the fish,
when in deep distress he cried to God.
Had
not favour from his Lord reached him, cast forth would he have been on the
naked shore, overwhelmed with shame:
68:50 But his Lord chose him and made him of
the just .
Almost
would the infidels strike thee down with their very looks when they hear the
warning of the Koran. And they say, "he is certainly possessed."
Yet is
is nothing less than a warning for all creatures.
Sura LXIX -- 69
The Inevitable
(
________________________________________
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The
Inevitable!
What
is the Inevitable?
And
who shall make thee comprehend what the Inevitable is?
Themoud
and Ad treated the day of Terrors as a lie.
So as to
Themoud, they were destroyed by crashing thunder bolts;
And as
to Ad, they were destroyed by a roaring and furious blast.
It did
the bidding of God against them seven nights and eight days together, during
which thou mightest have seen the people laid low, as though they had been the
trunks of hollow palm;
And
couldst thou have see one of them surviving?
Pharaoh
also, and those who flourished before him, and the overthrown cities, committed
sin, --
69-10 And disobeyed the Sent
one of their Lord; therefore did he chastise them with an accumulated
chastisement.
When
the Flood rose high, we bare you in the
That
we might make that event a warning to you, and that the retaining ear might
retain it.
But
when one blast shall be blown on the trumpet,
And
the earth and the mountains shall be upheaved, and shall both be crushed into
dust at a single crushing,
On
that day the woe that must come suddenly shall suddenly come,
And
the heaven shall cleave asunder, for on that day it shall be fragile;
And
the angels shall be on its sides, and over them on that day eight shall bear up
the throne of thy Lord.
On
that day you shall be brought before Him: none
of your hidden deeds shall remain hidden:
And he
who shall have his book given to him in his right hand, will say to his friend,
"Take you it; read you my book;
69:20 I ever thought that to this my
reckoning I should come."
And
his shall be a life that shall please him well,
In a
lofty garden,
Whose
clusters shall be near at hand:
"Eat
you and drink with healthy relish, as the meed of what you sent on beforehand
in the days which are past."
But he
who shall have his book given into his left hand, will say, "O that my
book had never been given me!
And
that I had never known by reckoning!
O that
death had made an end of me!
My
wealth hath not profited me!
My
power hath perished from me!"
69:30 "Lay you hold on him and chain
him,
Then
at the Hell-fire burn him,
Then
into a chain whose length is seventy cubits thrust him;
For he
believed not in God, the Great,
And
was not careful to feed the poor;
No
friend therefore shall he have here this day,
Nor
food, but corrupt sores,
Which
none shall eat but the sinners."
It
needs not that I swear by what you see,
And by
thst which you see not,
69:40 That this verily is the word of an
apostle worthy of all honour!
And
that it is not the word of a poet -- how little do you believe!
Neither
is it the word of a soothsayer (Kahin) how little do you receive warning!
It is
a missive from the Lord of the worlds.
But if
Muhammad had fabricated concerning us any sayings,
We had
surely seized him by the right hand,
And
had cut through the vein of his neck.
Nor
would We have withheld any one of you from him.
But, verily,
It (the Koran) is a warning for the God-fearing;
And we
well know that there are of you who treat it as a falsehood.
69:50 But it shall be the despair of
infidels,
For it
is the very truth of sure knowledge.
Praise,
then, the name of thy Lord, the Great.
Sura LXX (70)
The Steps or Ascents
(
________________________________________
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
A
suitor sued for punishment to light suddenly
On the
infidels: None can hinder
God
from inflicting it, the master of those Ascents,
By
which the angels and the spirit ascend to him in a day, whose length is fifty
thousand years.
Be
thou patient therefore with becoming patience;
They
forsooth regard that day as distant,
But we
see it nigh:
The
day when the heavens shall become as molten brass,
And
the mountains shall become like flocks of wool:
70:10 And friend shall not question of
friend,
Though
they look at one another. Fain would the wicked redeem himself from punishment
on that day at the price of his children,
Of his
spouse and his brother,
And of
his kindred who shewed affection for him,
And of
all who are on the earth that then it might deliver him.
But
no. For the fire,
Dragging
by the scalp,
Shall claim
him who turned his back and went away,
And
amassed and hoarded.
Man
truly is by creation hasty;
70:20 When evil befalleth him, impatient;
But
when good falleth to his lot, tenacious.
No so
the prayerful,
Who
are ever constant at their prayers;
And of
whose substance there is a due and stated portion
For
him who asketh, and for him who is ashamed to beg;
And
who own the judgment-day a truth,
And
who thrill with dread at the chastisement of their Lord --
For
there is none safe from the chastisement of their Lord --
And
who control their desires,
70:30 (Save with their wives or the slaves
whom their right hands have won, for there they shall be blameless;
But
whoever indulge their desires beyond this are transgressors);
And
who are true to their trusts and their engagements,
And
who witness uprightly,
And
who keep strictly the hours of prayer:
These
shall dwell, laden with honours, amid gardens.
But
what hath come to the unbelievers that they run at full stretch around thee,
On the
right hand and on the left, in bands?
Is it
that every man of them would fain enter that garden of delights?
Not at
all. We have created them, they know of what.
70:40 It needs not that I swear by the Lord
of the East and of the West that we have power
To replace
them with better than themselves: neither are
we to be hindred.
Wherefore
let them flounder on and disport them, till they come face to face with their
threatened day,
The
day on which they shall flock up out of their graves in haste like men who
rally to a standard: --
Their
eyes downcast; disgrace shall cover them. Such their threatened day.
Sura LXXI (71)
Noah
(
________________________________________
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
We
sent Noah to his people, and said to him, "Warn thou thy people ere there
come on them an afflictive punishment."
He
said, "O my people! I come to you a plain-spoken warner:
Sere
God and fear Him, and obey me:
Your
sins will He forgive you, and respite you till the fixed Time; for when God's
fixed Time hath come, it shall not be put back. Would that you knew this!"
He
said, "Lord I have cried to my people night and day; and my cry doth but
make them flee from me the more.
So oft
as I cry to them, that thou mayest forgive them, they thrust their fingers into
their ears, and wrap themselves in their garments, and persist in their error,
and are disdainfully disdainful.
Then I
cried aloud to them:
Then
again spake I with plainness, and in private did I secretly address them:
And I
said, 'Beg forgiveness of your Lord, for He is ready to forgive.
71:10 He will send down the very Heaven upon
you in plenteous rains;
And
will increase you in wealth and children; and will give you gardens, and will
give you watercourses: --
What
hath come to you that you hope not for goodness from the hand of God?
For He
it is who hath formed you by successive steps.
See
you not how God hath created the seven heavens one over the other?
And He
hath placed therein the moon as a light, and hath placed there the sun as a
torch;
And
God hath caused you to spring forth from the earth like a plant;
Hereafter
will He turn you back into again, and will bring you forth anew --
And
God hath spread the earth for you like a carper,
That
you may walk therein along spacious paths.'"
71:20 Said Noah, "O my Lord! they rebel
against me, and they follow those whose riches and children do but aggravate
their ruin."
And
they plotted a great plot;
And
they said, "Forsake not your Gods; forsake not Wadd nor Sowah,
Nor
Yaghuth and Yahuk and Nesr;"
And
they caused many to err; -- and thou, too, O Muhammad! shall be the means of
increasing only error in the wicked --
Because
of their sins they were drowned, and made to go into the Fire;
And
they found that they had no helper save God.
And
Noah said, "Lord, leave not only single family of Infidels on the Earth:
For if
thou leave them they will beguile thy servants and will beget only sinners,
infidels.
O my
Lord, forgive me, and my parents, and every one who, being a believer, shall
enter my house, and believers men and women:
and add to the wicked nought by perdition."
Sura LXXII (72)
Djinn
(
________________________________________
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Say: It hath been revealed to me that a company of
Djinn listened, and said, -- "Verily, we have heard a marvellous discourse
(Koran);
It
guideth to the truth; wherefore we believed in it, and we will not henceforth
join any being with our Lord;
And
He, -- may the majesty of our Lord be exalted! -- hath taken no spouse neither
hath he any offspring.
But
the foolish among us hath spoken of God that which is unjust:
And we
verily thought that no one amongst men or Djinn would have uttered a lie
against God.
There
are indeed people among men, who have sought for refuge unto people among Djinn: but they only increased their folly:
And
they thought, as you think, that God would not raise any from the dead.
And
the Heavens did we essay, but found them filled with a mighty garrison, and
with flaming darts;
And we
sat on the some of the seats to listen, but whoever listeneth findeth an ambush
ready for him of flaming darts.
72:10 And truly we know not whether evil be
meant for them that are on earth, or whether their Lord meaneth guidance for
them.
And
there are among us good, and others among us of another kind; -- we are of
various sorts:
And
verily we thought that no one could weaken God on earth, neither could we
escape from him by flight:
Wherefore
as soon as we had heard 'the guidance' we believed in it; and whoever believeth
in his Lord, need not fear either loss or wrong.
There
are some among us who have resigned themselves to God (the Muslims); and there
are others of us who have gone astray. And whoso resigneth himself to God
pursueth the way of truth;
But
they who go astray from it shall be fuel for Hell."
Moreover,
if they (the Meccans) keep straight on in that way, we will surely give them to
drink of abundant waters,
That
we may prove them thereby: but whoso
withdraweth from the remembrance of his Lord, him will He send into a severe
torment.
It is
unto God that the temples are set apart: call not
then on any other therein with God.
When
the servant of God stood up to call upon Him, the djinn almost jostled him by
their crowds.
72:20 Say:
I call only upon my Lord, and I join no other being with Him.
Say: No control have I over what may hurt or benefit
you.
Say: Verily none can protect me against God;
Neither
shall I find any refuge beside Him.
My
sole work is preaching from God, and His message:
and for such as shall rebel against God and his apostle is the fire of Hell!
they shall remain therein alway, -- for ever!
Until
they see their threatened vengeance they will be perverse! but then shall they
know which side was the weakest in a protector and the fewest in number.
Say: I know not whether that with which you are
threatened be night, or whether my Lord hath assigned it to a distant day: He knoweth the secret, nor doth He divulge his
secret to any,
Except
to that Apostle who pleaseth Him; and before him and behind him He maketh a
guard to march:
That
He may know if his Apostles have verily delivered the messages of their Lord: and He embraceth in his knowledge all their ways,
and taketh count of all that concerneth them.
Sura LXXIII (73)
The Enfolded
(
________________________________________
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
O Thou
enfolded in thy mantle,
Stand
up all night, except a small port of it, for prayer:
Half
or curtail the half a little, --
Or add
to it: And with measured tone intone the
Koran,
For we
shall devolve on thee weighty words.
Verily,
at the oncoming of night are devout impressions strongest, and words are most
collected;
But in
the day time thou hast continual employ --
And
commemorate the name of thy Lord, and devote thyself to Him with entire devotion.
Lord
of the East and of the West! No God is there but He! Take Him for thy
protector,
73:10 And endure what they say with
patience, and depart from them with a decorous departure.
And
let Me alone with the gainsayers, rich in the pleasures of this life; and bear
thou with them yet a little while:
For
with Us are strong fetters, and a flaming fire,
And
food that choketh, and a sore torment.
The
day cometh when the earth and the mountains shall be shaken; and the mountains
shall become a loose sand heap.
Verily,
we have sent you an Apostle to witness against you, even as we sent an Apostle
to Pharaoh:
But
Pharaoh rebelled against the Apostle, and we therefore laid hold on him with a
severe chastisement.
And
how, if you believe not, will you screen yourselves from the day that shall
turn children greyheaded?
The
very heaven shall be reft asunder by it: this
threat shall be carried into effect.
Lo!
this is a warning. Let him then who will, take the way to his Lord.
73:20 Of a truth, thy Lord knoweth that thou
prayest almost two-thirds, or half, or a third of the night, as do a part of
thy followers. But God measureth the night and the day:
-- He knoweth that you cannot count its hours aright, and therefore, turneth to
you mercifully. Recite then so much of the Koran as may be easy to you. He
knoweth that there will be some among you sick, while others travel through the
earth in quest of the bounties of God; and other do battle in his cause. Recite
therefore so much of it as may be easy. And observe the Prayers and pay the
legal Alms, and lend God a liberal loan: for
whatever good works you send on before for your own behoof, you shall find with
God. This will be best and richest in the recompense. And seek the forgiveness
of God: verily, God is forgiving, Merciful.
Sura LXXIV (74)
The Enwrapped
(
________________________________________
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
O
Thou, enwrapped in thy mantle!
Arise
and warn!
Thy
Lord -- magnify Him!
Thy raiment
-- purify it!
The
abomination -- flee it!
And
bestow not favours that thou mayest receive again with increase;
And
for thy Lord wait thou patiently.
For
when there shall be a trump on the trumpet,
That
shall be a distressful day,
74:10 A day, to the Infidels, devoid of
ease.
Leave
me alone to deal with him whom I have created,
And on
whom I have bestowed vast riches,
And
sons dwelling before him,
And
for whom I have smoothed all things smoothly down; --
Yet
desireth he that I shall add more!
But
no! because to our signs he is a foe
I will
lay grievous woes upon him.
For he
plotted and he planned!
May he
be cursed! How he planned!
74:20 Again, may be be cursed! How he
planned!
Then
looked he around him,
Then
frowned and scowled,
Then
turned his back and swelled with disdain,
And
said, "This is merely magic that will be wrought;
It is
merely the word of a mortal."
We
will surely cast him in Hell-fire.
And
who shall teach thee what Hell-fire is?
It
leaveth nought, it spareth nought,
Blackening
the skin.
74:30 Over it are nineteen angels.
None
but angels have we made guardians of the fire:
nor have we made this to be their number but to perplex the unbelievers, and
that they who possess the Scriptures may be certain of the truth of the Koran,
and that they who believe may increase their faith;
And
that they to whom the Scriptures have been given, and the believers,may not
doubt;
And
that the infirm of heart and the unbelievers may say, What meaneth God by this
parable?
Thus God
misleadeth whom He will, and whom He will doth He guide aright: and none knoweth the armies of thy Lord but
Himself: and this is no other than a warning
to mankind.
Nay,
by the Moon!
By the
Night when it retreateth!
By the
Morn when it brighteneth!
Hell
is one of the most grievous woes,
Fraught
with warning toman,
74:40 To him among you who desireth to press
forward, or to remain behind.
For
its own works lieth every soul in pledge. But they of God's right hand
In
their gardens shall ask of the wicked; --
"What
hath cast you into Hell-fire?"
They
will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
And we
were not of those who fed the poor,
And we
plunged into vain disputes with vain disputers,
And we
rejected as a lie, the day of reckoning,
Till the
certainty came upon us" --
And
intercession of the interceders shall not avail them.
74:50 Then what hath come to them that they
turn aside from the Warning
As if
they affrighted asses fleeing from a lion?
And
every one of them would fain have open pages given to him out of Heaven.
It
shall not be. They fear not the life to come.
It
shall not be. For this Koran is warning enough. And whoso will, it warneth him.
But
not unless God please, shall they be warned. Meet is He to be feared. Meet is
forgiveness in Him.
Sura LXXV (75)
The Resurrection
(
________________________________________
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
It
needeth not that I swear by the day of the Resurrection,
Or
that I swear by the self-accusing soul.
Thinketh
man that we shall not re-unite his bones?
Aye!
his very finger tips are we able evenly to replace.
But
man chooseth to deny what is before him:
He
asketh, "When this day of Resurrection?"
But
when the eye shall be dazzled,
And when
the moon shall be darkened,
And
the sun and the moon shall be together
75:10 On that day man shall cry, "Where
is there a place to flee to?"
But in
vain, -- there is no refuge --
With
thy Lord on that day shall be the sole asylum.
On that
day shall man be told of all that he hath done first and last;
Yea, a
man shall be the eye witness against himself:
And
even if he put forth his plea. . . .
(Move
not thy tongue in hast to follow and master this revelation:
For we
will see to the collecting and the recital of it;
But
when we have recited it, then follow thou the recital,
And,
verily, afterwards it shall be ours to explain it to thee.)
75:20 Aye, but you love the transitory,
And
you neglect the life to come.
On
that day shall faces beam with light,
Outlooking
towards their Lord;
And
faces on that day shall be dismal,
As if
they thought that some great calamity would befal them.
Aye,
when the soul shall come up into the throat,
And
there shall be a cry, "Who hath a charm that can restore him?"
And
the man feeleth that the time of his departure is come,
And
when one leg shall be laid over the other,
75:30 To thy Lord on that day shall he be
driven on;
For he
believed not, and he did not pray,
But he
called the truth a lie and turned his back,
Then,
walking with haughty men, rejoined his people.
That
Hour is nearer to thee and hearer,
It is
ever nearer to thee and nearer still.
Thinketh
man that he shall be left supreme?
Was he
not a mere embryo?
Then
he become thick blood of which God formed him and fashioned him;
And
made him twain, male and female.
75:40 Is not He powerful enough to quicken
the dead?
Sura LXXVII (77)
The Sent

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the
train of The Sent ones,
And
the swift in their swiftness;
By the
scatterers who scatter,
And
the distinguishers who distinguish;
And by
those that give forth the word
To
excuse or warn;
Verily
that which you are promised is imminent.
When
the stars, therefore, shall be blotted out,
And
when the heaven shall be cleft,
77:10 And when the mountains shall be
scattered in dust,
And
when the Apostles shall have a time assigned them;
Until
what day shall that time be deferred?
To the
day of severing!
And
who shall teach thee what the day of severing is?
Woe on
that day to those who charged with imposture!
Have
we not destroyed them of old?
We
will next cause those of later times to follow them.
Thus
deal we with the evil doers.
Woe on
that day to those who charged with imposture!
77:20 Have we not created you of a sorry
germ,
Which
we laid up in a secure place,
Till
the term decreed for birth?
Such is
our power! and how powerful are We!
Woe on
that day to those who charged with imposture!
Have
we not made the earth to hold
The
living and the dead?
And
placed on it the tall firm mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water.
Woe on
that day to those who charged with imposture!
Begone
to that Hell which you called a lie: --
77:30 Begone to the shadows that lie in
triple masses;
"But
not against the flame shall they shade or help you:"
--
The
sparks which it casteth out are like towers --
Like
tawny camels.
Woe on
that day to those who charged with imposture!
On
that day they shall not speak,
Nor
shall it be permitted them to allege excuses.
Woe on
that day to those who charged with imposture!
This
is the day of severing, when we will assemble you and your ancestors.
If now
you have any craft truly your craft on me.
77:40 Woe on that day to those who charged
with imposture!
But
the god-fearing shall be placed amid shades and fountains,
And
fruits, whatsoever they shall desire:
"Eat
and drink, with health, as the meed of your toils."
Thus
recompense we the good.
Woe on
that day to those who charged with imposture!
"Eat
you and enjoy yourselves a little while. Verily, you are doers. of evil."
Woe on
that day to those who charged with imposture!
For
when it is said to them, bend the knee, they bend it not.
Woe on
that day to those who charged with imposture!
77:50 In what other revelation after this
will they believe?
