7 When they are cast therein, they will hear a loud moaning of it as it heaves,

8 Almost bursting for fury. Whenever a group is cast into it, its keepers ask them: Did not a warner come to you?

9 They say: Yea, indeed a warner came to us, but we denied and said: Allāh has revealed nothing; you are only in great error.

10 And they say: Had we but listened or pondered, we should not have been among the inmates of the burning Fire.

11 Thus they will confess their sins; so far (from good) are the inmates of the burning Fire.

12 Those who fear their Lord in secret, for them is surely forgiveness and a great reward.

13 And conceal your word or manifest it, truly He is Knower of that which is in the hearts.

14 Does He not know Who created? And He is the Knower of subtleties, the Aware.

15 He it is Who made the earth subservient to you, so go about in the spacious sides thereof, and eat of His sustenance. And to Him is the rising (after death).

16 Do you feel secure that He Who is in the heaven will not make the earth to swallow you up? Then lo! it will shake.

17 Or do you feel secure that He Who is in the heaven will not send on you a violent wind? Then shall you know how (truthful) was My warning!

18 And certainly those before them denied, then how (terrible) was My disapproval!

19 Do they not see the birds above them spreading and contracting (their wings)? Naught upholds them save the Beneficent. Surely He is Seer of all things.

20 Or who is it that will be a host for you to help you against the Beneficent? The disbelievers are in naught but delusion.

21 Or who is it that will give you sustenance, if He should withhold His sustenance? Nay, they persist in disdain and aversion.
