—the day the Trumpet will be blown; on that day We shall muster the guilty with blind eyes.

They will whisper to one another: ‘You have stayed only for ten [days].’

We know best what they will say, when the smartest of them in approach will say, ‘You stayed only a day!’

Then He will leave it a level plain.

On that day they will follow the summoner without zigzagging. Their voices will be muted before the All-beneficent, and you will hear nothing but a murmur.

يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا تَنْفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ اِلَّا مَنْ اَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَرَضِىَ لَهٗ قَوْلًا‏(109)

Intercession will not avail that day except from him whom the All-beneficent allows and approves of his word.

He knows what is before them and behind them, though they do not comprehend Him in their knowledge.

All faces shall be humbled before the Living One, the All-sustainer, and those who bear [the burden of] wrongdoing will fail.

But whoever does righteous deeds, being faithful, will neither fear any injustice or disparagement.

Thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Quran and We have paraphrased the warnings in it variously so that they may be Godwary, or it may prompt them to remembrance.

فَتَعٰلَى اللّٰهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ‌ ۚ وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِالْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يُّقْضٰٓى اِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهٗ‌ وَقُلْ رَّبِّ زِدْنِىْ عِلْمًا‏(114)

So exalted is Allah, the True Sovereign. Do not hasten with the Quran before its revelation is completed for you, and say, ‘My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.’

وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَاۤ اِلٰٓى اٰدَمَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَنَسِىَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهٗ عَزْمًا‏(115)

Certainly We had enjoined Adam earlier; but he forgot, and We did not find any resoluteness in him.

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْۤا اِلَّاۤ اِبْلِيْسَؕ اَبٰى‏(116)

When We said to the angels, ‘Prostrate before Adam,’ they prostrated, but not Iblis: he refused.

فَقُلْنَا يٰۤاٰدَمُ اِنَّ هٰذَا عَدُوٌّ لَّكَ وَلِزَوْجِكَ فَلَا يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقٰى‏(117)

We said, ‘O Adam! This is indeed an enemy of yours and your mate’s. So do not let him expel you from paradise, or you will be miserable.

You will neither be thirsty in it, nor suffer from [the heat of] the sun.’

Then Satan tempted him. He said, ‘O Adam! Shall I show you the tree of immortality, and an imperishable kingdom?’

So they both ate of it, and their nakedness became evident to them, and they began to stitch over themselves with the leaves of paradise. Adam disobeyed his Lord, and went amiss.

Then his Lord chose him, and turned to him clemently, and guided him.

Thus do We requite those who transgress and do not believe in the signs of their Lord, and the punishment of the Hereafter is severer and more lasting.

Does it not dawn upon them how many generations We have destroyed before them, amid [the ruins of] whose dwellings they walk? There are indeed signs in this for those who have reason.

So be patient with what they say, and celebrate the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the sunset, and glorify Him in watches of the night and at the day’s ends, that you may be pleased.

Do not extend your glance toward what We have provided certain groups of them as a glitter of the life of this world, so that We may test them thereby. The provision of your Lord is better and more lasting.
