And on the Day of Resurrection WE shall gather them together on their faces blind, dumb and deaf. Their abode shall be Hell; every time it abates, WE shall increase for them the flame. 98. That is their recompense, because they rejected Our Signs and said, `What ! when we die and are reduced to bones and broken particles, shall we really be raised up as a new creation ?' 99. Do they not see that ALLAH, WHO created the heavens and the earth, has the power to create the like of them ? And HE has appointed for them a term; there is no doubt about it. But the wrongdoers would reject everything but disbelief. 100. Say, `Even if you possessed the limitless treasures of the mercy of my Lord, you would surely hold them back for the fear of exhausting them, for man is niggardly.' 101. And certainly WE gave Moses nine manifest Signs. So ask then the Children of Israel. When he came to them, Pharaoh said to him, `I do think thee, O Moses, to be a victim of deception.' 102. He said, `Thou thinkest well that none has sent down these Signs but the Lord of the heavens and the earth as so many evidences; and I certainly consider thee, O Pharaoh, to be doomed to perish.' 103. So he resolved to remove them from the land; but WE drowned him and those who were with him, all together. 104. And after him WE said to the Children of Israel, Dwell ye in the promised land; and when the time of the promise of the Latter Days comes, WE shall bring you together out of various peoples.' |
