HE will say, `Did you not swear before this that you would never have a fall ? 45. `And you dwell in the dwellings of those who wronged themselves and it has become plain to you how WE dealt with them; and WE set forth clear parables for you.' 46. And they have tried all their designs; but their designs are with ALLAH. And even though their designs be such as to make the mountains move, they will not succeed. 47. Think not then that ALLAH will ever fail to keep HIS promise to HIS Messengers. Surely, ALLAH is Mighty, Lord of retribution, 48. On the day when this earth will be changed into another earth, and the heavens too; and they will appear before ALLAH, the One, the Most Supreme. 49. And thou wilt see the guilty on that day bound in chains. 50. Their garments will be, as if, of pitch and the fire shall envelop their faces. 51. This will be so that ALLAH may requite each soul for what it has wrought. Surely, ALLAH is swift at reckoning. 52. This is a sufficient admonition for mankind that they may benefit by it and that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that HE is the only One God and that those possessed of understanding may take heed. |
