36:40-64

36:40

It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).

36:41

And a Sign for them is that We bore their race (through the Flood) in the loaded Ark;

36:42

And We have created for them similar (vessels) on which they ride.

36:43

If it were Our Will, We could drown them: then would there be no helper (to hear their cry), nor could they be delivered,

36:44

Except by way of Mercy from Us, and by way of (world) convenience (to serve them) for a time.

36:45

When they are told, “Fear ye that which is before you and that which will be after you, in order that ye may receive Mercy,” (they turn back).

36:46

Not a Sign comes to them from among the Signs of their Lord, but they turn away therefrom.

36:47

And when they are told, “Spend ye of (the bounties) with which Allah has provided you,” the Unbelievers say to those who believe: “Shall we then feed those whom, if Allah had so willed,He would have fed, (Himself)?- Ye are in nothing but manifest error.”

36:48

Further, they say, “When will this promise (come to pass), if what ye say is true?”

36:49

They will not (have to) wait for aught but a single Blast: it will seize them while they are yet disputing among themselves!

36:50

No (chance) will they then have, by will, to dispose (of their affairs), nor to return to their ownpeople!

36:51

The trumpet shall be sounded, when behold! from the sepulchres (men) will rush forth to theirLord!

36:52

They will say: “Ah! Woe unto us! Who hath raised us up from our beds of repose?”… (A voice will say:) “This is what (Allah) Most Gracious had promised. And true was the word of the messengers!”

36:53

It will be no more than a single Blast, when lo! they will all be brought up before Us!

36:54

Then, on that Day, not a soul will be wronged in the least, and ye shall but be repaid the meeds of your past Deeds.

36:55

Verily the Companions of the Garden shall that Day have joy in all that they do;

36:56

They and their associates will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on Thrones (of dignity);

36:57

(Every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for;

36:58

“Peace!” – a word (of salutation) from a Lord Most Merciful!

36:59

“And O ye in sin! Get ye apart this Day!

36:60

“Did I not enjoin on you, O ye Children of Adam, that ye should not worship Satan; for that he was to you an enemy avowed?-

36:61

“And that ye should worship Me, (for that) this was the Straight Way?

36:62

“But he did lead astray a great multitude of you. Did ye not, then, understand?

36:63

“This is the Hell of which ye were (repeatedly) warned!

36:64

“Embrace ye the (fire) this Day, for that ye (persistently) rejected (Truth).”
