| 36. And how many a generation, who were mightier than they in prowess, have WE destroyed before them ! But when the punishment came, they went about in the lands, devising plans to escape it. But was there any place of refuge for them ? 37. Therein, verily, is a reminder for him who has an understanding heart, or, who gives ear and is attentive. 38. And, verily, WE created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six periods and no weariness touched US. 39. So bear with patience what they say, and celebrate the praises of thy Lord, before the rising of the sun and before its setting; 40. And in parts of the night also do thou glorify HIM, and after the prescribed prostrations. 41. Hearken ! On the day when the caller will call from a place nearby, 42. The day when they will hear the inevitable blast; that will be the day of coming forth from the graves. 43. Verily, it is WE Who give life and cause death, and to US is the final return. 44. On the day when the earth will cleave asunder and in consequence of their misdeeds they will come forth hastening - that will be a raising up of the dead easy for US. 45. WE know best what they say; and thou art not to compel them in any way. So admonish, by means of the Qur'an, him who fears MY warning. 1. By those that scatter with a true scattering, 2. Then carry the load, 3. Then speed lightly along, 4. And then distribute by Our command, 5. Surely, that which you are promised is true, 6. And Judgment will, surely, come to pass. |
