[20:99]

Thus relate We unto thee (Muhammad) some tidings of that which happened of old, and We have given thee from Our presence a reminder.

[20:100]

Whoso turneth away from it, he verily will bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection,

[20:101]

Abiding under it - an evil burden for them on the Day of Resurrection,

[20:102]

The day when the Trumpet is blown. On that day we assemble the guilty white-eyed (with terror),

[20:103]

Murmuring among themselves: Ye have tarried but ten (days).

[20:104]

We are Best Aware of what they utter when their best in conduct say: Ye have tarried but a day.

[20:105]

They will ask thee of the mountains (on that day). Say: My Lord will break them into scattered dust.

[20:106]

And leave it as an empty plain,

[20:107]

Wherein thou seest neither curve nor ruggedness.

[20:108]

On that day they follow the summoner who deceiveth not, and voices are hushed for the Beneficent, and thou hearest but a faint murmur.

[20:109]

On that day no intercession availeth save (that of) him unto whom the Beneficent hath given leave and whose word He accepteth.

[20:110]

He knoweth (all) that is before them and (all) that is behind them, while they cannot compass it in knowledge.

[20:111]

And faces humble themselves before the Living, the Eternal. And he who beareth (a burden of) wrongdoing is indeed a failure (on that day).

[20:112]

And he who hath done some good works, being a believer, he feareth not injustice nor begrudging (of his wage).

[20:113]

Thus we have revealed it as a Lecture in Arabic, and have displayed therein certain threats, that peradventure they may keep from evil or that it may cause them to take heed.
