when the wrongdoers will say: 'Lord, grant us respite for a while. We
will obeyYour call, and followYour apostles.'
But did you not once swear that you would never cease to be? You
lived in the dwellings of those who wronged themselves: yet you knew
full well how We had dealt with them, and We had given you many a
parable.
They plot their plots. But their plots are (known) toAllah.And even if
their plots canmovemountains, (Allahwill foil them).
Do not think thatAllah will break the pledge He gave to HisApostles.
Mighty isAllah, and capable of revenge.
On the day when the earth is changed into a different earth and the
heavens (into new heavens), mankind shall stand before Allah, the
One, the Conqueror. On that day, you shall see the guilty bound
together with chains; their garments shall be of pitch, and their faces
(shall be) coveredwith flames.
Allah will reward each soul according to its deeds. Swift is Allah's
reckoning.
This is a clear message to mankind. Let them heed thereby, and know
thatAllah is one God. Let the wise bear this inmind.
