*
"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

Sra Vii.: A
'Rf, Or The Heights

Section 6

48.
Wanada as-habu al-aAArafi rijalan yaAArifoonahum biseemahum qaloo ma aghna AAankum jamAAukum wama kuntum tastakbiroonA

48.
The men on the Heights

Will call to certain men

Whom they will know

From their m arks, saying:


"Of what profit to you

Were your hoards and your

Arrogant ways?

49.
Ahaola-i allatheena aqsamtum la yanaluhumu Allahu birahmatin odkhuloo aljannata la khawfun AAalaykum wala antum tahzanoonA

49.
\"Behold! are these not

The men whom you swore

That God with His Mercy

Would never bless?

Enter ye the Garden:


No fear shall be on you,

Nor shall ye grieve."

50. Wanada as-habu aLnari as-haba aljannati an afeedoo AAalayna mina alma-i aw mimma razaqakumu Allahu qaloo inna Allaha harramahuma AAala alkafireenA

50.
The Companions of the Fire

Will call to the Companions

Of the Garden: "Pour down

To us water or anything

That God doth provide

For your sustenance."

They will say: "Both

These things hath God forbidden

To those who rejected Him;--

51.
Allatheena ittakhathoo deenahum lahwan walaAAiban wagharrat-humu alhayatu aLddunya faAlyawma nansahum kama nasoo liqaa yawmihim hatha wama kanoo bi-ayatina yajhadoonA

51.
\"Such as took their religion

To be mere amusement

And play, and were deceived

By the life of the world."

That day shall We forget them

As they forgot the meeting

Of this day of theirs,

And as they were wont

To reject Our Signs.

52.
Walaqad ji/nahum bikitabin fassalnahu AAala AAilmin hudan warahmatan liqawmin yu/minoonA

52.
For We had certainly

Sent unto them a Book,

Based on knowledge,

Which We explained

In detail,--a guide

And a mercy

To all who believe.

53.
Hal yan"th"uroona illa ta/weelahu yawma ya/tee ta/weeluhu yaqoolu allatheena nasoohu min qablu qad jaat rusulu rabbina biAlhaqqi fahal lana min shufaAAaa fayashfaAAoo lana aw nuraddu fanaAAmala ghayra allathee kunna naAAmalu qad khasiroo anfusahum wadalla AAanhum ma kanoo yaftaroonA

53.
Do they just wait

For the final fulfilment

Of the event? On the day

The event is finally fulfilled,

Those who disregarded it

Before will say: "The apostles

Of our Lord did indeed

Bring true (tidings). Have we

No intercessors now to intercede

On our behalf? Or could we

Be sent back? Then should eve

Behave differently from our

Behaviour in the past."

In fact they will have lost

Their souls, and the things

They invented will leave

Them in the lurch.
