"Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!"

By those who range themselves in ranks, {1} And so are strong in repelling (evil), {2} And thus proclaim the Message (of Allah)! {3} Verily, verily, your Allah is one!- {4} Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them, and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun! {5} We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars,- {6} (For beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits, {7} (So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side, {8} Repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty, {9} Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness. {10} Just ask their opinion: are they the more difficult to create, or the (other) beings We have created? Them have We created out of a sticky clay! {11} Truly dost thou marvel, while they ridicule, {12} And, when they are admonished, pay no heed,- {13} And, when they see a Sign, turn it to mockery, {14} And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery! {15} "What! when we die, and become dust and bones, shall we (then) be raised up (again) {16} "And also our fathers of old?" {17} Say thou: "Yea, and ye shall then be humiliated (on account of your evil)." {18} Then it will be a single (compelling) cry; and behold, they will begin to see! {19} They will say, "Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!" {20} (A voice will say,) "This is the Day of Sorting Out, whose truth ye (once) denied!" {21}
