Wanada as-habu al-aAArafi rijalan yaAArifoonahum biseemahum qaloo ma aghna AAankum jamAAukum wama kuntum tastakbiroona\n48. The men on the Heights\n Will call to certain men\n Whom they will know\n From their m arks, saying:\n \"Of what profit to you\n Were your hoards and your\n Arrogant ways?\n49. Ahaola-i allatheena aqsamtum la yanaluhumu Allahu birahmatin odkhuloo aljannata la khawfun AAalaykum wala antum tahzanoona\n49. \"Behold! are these not\n The men whom you swore\n That God with His Mercy\n Would never bless?\n Enter ye the Garden:\n No fear shall be on you,\n Nor shall ye grieve.\"\n50. Wanada as-habu alnari as-haba aljannati an afeedoo AAalayna mina alma-i aw mimma razaqakumu Allahu qaloo inna Allaha harramahuma AAala alkafireena\n50. The Companions of the Fire\n Will call to the Companions\n Of the Garden: \"Pour down\n To us water or anything\nThat God doth provide\n For your sustenance.\"\n They will say: \"Both\n These things hath God forbidden\n To those who rejected Him;\u2014\n51. Allatheena ittakhathoo deenahum lahwan walaAAiban wagharrat-humu alhayatu alddunya faalyawma nansahum kama nasoo liqaa yawmihim hatha wama kanoo bi-ayatina yajhadoona\n51. \"Such as took their religion\n To be mere amusement\n And play, and were deceived\n By the life of the world.\"\n That day shall We forget them\n As they forgot the meeting\n Of this day of theirs,\n And as they were wont\n To reject Our Signs.\n52. Walaqad ji/nahum bikitabin fassalnahu AAala AAilmin hudan warahmatan liqawmin yu/minoona\n52. For We had certainly\n Sent unto them a Book,\n Based on knowledge,\n Which We explained\n In detail,\u2014a guide\n And a mercy\n To all who believe.\n53. Hal yanthuroona 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\n53. Do they just wait\n For the final fulfilment\n Of the event? On the day\n The event is finally fulfilled,\n Those who disregarded it\n Before will say: \"The apostles\n Of our Lord did indeed\n Bring true (tidings). Have we\n No intercessors now to intercede\n On our behalf? Or could we\nBe sent back? Then should eve\n Behave differently from our\n Behaviour in the past.\"\n In fact they will have lost\n Their souls, and the things\n They invented will leave\n Them in the lurch.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra VII.: A\u2019r\u0101f, or the Heights: Section 6 (48-53)","type":"page"}
