| 20. Did WE not create you from an insignificant fluid, 21. And placed it in a safe resting place, 22. For a known measure of time ? 23. Thus did WE determine; and how excellent Determiner are WE ! 24. Woe on that day unto those who reject the Truth ! 25. Have WE not made the earth so as to hold 26. The living and the dead ? 27. And WE placed therein high mountains, and gave you sweet water to drink. 28. Woe on that day unto those who reject the Truth ! 29. They will be commanded: `Now move on towards that which you treated as a lie, 30. `Aye, move on towards a three-pronged shadow, 31. `Neither affording shade, nor protecting from the blame.' 32. It throws up sparks like huge castles, 33. As if they were tawny camels. 34. Woe on that day unto those who reject the Truth ! 35. This is a day when they shall not be able to speak, 36. Nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses. 37. Woe on that day unto those who reject the Truth ! 38. This is the Day of Decision. WE have gathered you and all the earlier peoples together; 39. `If now you have any stratagem, try your stratagem against me.' 40. Woe on that day unto those who reject the Truth ! 41. The righteous will be in the midst of shades and springs, 42. And fruits such as they will desire. 43. It will be said to them, `Eat and drink pleasantly as a reward for what you did' - 44. Thus, surely, do WE reward those who do good. 45. Woe on that day unto those who reject the Truth ! 46. Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little while in this world, O rejectors of Truth, surely, you are the guilty ones.' 47. Woe on that day unto those who reject the Truth ! 48. And when it is said unto them, `Bow down,' they bow not down. 49. Woe on that day unto those who reject the Truth ! 50. In what discourse then, after this, will they believe ? |
