39 Praise be to Allāh, Who has given me, in old age, Ishmael and Isaac! Surely my Lord is the Hearer of prayer. |
40 My Lord, make me keep up prayer and from my offspring (too), our Lord, and accept my prayer. |
41 Our Lord, grant me protection and my parents and the believers on the day when the reckoning comes to pass. |
42 And think not Allāh to be heedless of what the unjust do. He only respites them to a day when the eyes will stare (in terror), |
43 Hastening forward, their heads upraised, their gaze not returning to them, and their hearts vacant. |
44 And warn people of a day when the chastisement will come to them, then the wrongdoers will say: Our Lord, respite us to a near term, we will respond to Thy call and follow the messengers. Did you not swear before that there will be no passing away for you? |
45 And you dwell in the abodes of those who wronged themselves, and it is clear to you how We dealt with them and We made (them) examples for you. |
46 And they have indeed planned their plan, and their plan is with Allāh, though their plan is such that the mountains should be moved thereby. |
47 So think not that Allāh will fail in His promise to His messengers. Surely Allāh is Mighty, the Lord of retribution. |
48 On the day when the earth will be changed into a different earth, and the heavens (as well), and they will come forth to Allāh, the One, the Supreme. |
49 And thou wilt see the guilty on that day linked together in chains — |
50 Their shirts made of pitch, and fire covering their faces, |
51 That Allāh may repay each soul what it has earned. Surely Allāh is Swift in reckoning. |
52 This is a message for the people and that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is One God, and that men of understanding may mind. |
