55 And follow the best that has been revealed to you from your Lord before chastisement comes to you all of a sudden, while you perceive not—

56 Lest a soul should say: O woe is me, that I fell short of my duty to Allāh! and surely I was of those who laughed to scorn;

68 And the trumpet is blown, so all those in the heavens and all those in the earth will swoon, except such as Allāh please. Then it will be blown again, when lo! they stand up, awaiting.

69 And the earth beams with the light of its Lord, and the Book is laid down, and the prophets and the witnesses are brought up, and
