SECTION 7: The End of Opposition

14:42 And think not Allah to be heedless of what the unjust do.

He only respites them to a day when the eyes will stare (in terror),

14:43 Hastening forward, their heads upraised, their gaze not returning to them, and their hearts vacant.

14:44 And warn people of a day when the chastisement will come to them, then the wrongdoers will say:

Our Lord, respite us to a near term, we will respond to Thy call and follow the messengers.

Did you not swear before that there will be no passing away for you?

14:45 And you dwell in the abodes of those who wronged themselves,

and it is clear to you how We dealt with them and We made (them) examples for you.

14:46 And they had indeed planned their plan, and their plan is with Allah,

though their plan is such that the mountains should be moved thereby.

14:47 So think not that Allah will fail in His promise to His messengers.

Surely Allah is Mighty, the Lord of retribution.

14:48 On the day when the earth will be changed into a different earth,

and the heavens (as well), and they will come forth to Allah, the One, the Supreme.

14:49 And thou wilt see the guilty on that day linked together in chains --

14:50 Their shirts made of pitch, and fire covering their faces,

14:51 That Allah may repay each soul what it has earned. Surely Allah is Swift in reckoning.

14:52 This is a message for the people and that they may be warned thereby,

and that they may know that He is One God, and that men of understanding may mind.

SECTION 3: Denial due to Ignorance

16:22 Your God is one God: so those who believe not in the Hereafter,

their hearts refuse to know and they are proud.

16:23 Undoubtedly Allah knows what they hide and what they manifest.

Surely He loves not the proud.

16:24 And when it is said to them, What is it that your Lord has revealed?

they say, Stories of the ancients!

16:25 That they may bear their burdens in full on the day of Resurrection,

and also of the burdens of those whom they lead astray without knowledge. Ah! evil is what they bear.

SECTION 7: The Righteous will inherit the Land

21:94 So whoever does good deeds and is a believer,

there is no rejection of his effort, and We surely write (it) down for him.

21:95 And it is forbidden to a town which We destroy: they shall not return.

21:96 Even when Gog and Magog are let loose and they sally forth from every elevated place.

21:97 And the True Promise draws nigh, then lo!

the eyes of those who disbelieve will be fixedly open:

O woe to us! Surely we were heedless of this; nay, we were unjust.

21:98 Surely you and what you worship besides Allah are fuel of hell; to it you will come.

21:99 Had these been gods, they would not have come to it. And all will abide therein.

21:100 For them therein is groaning and therein they hear not.

21:101 Those for whom the good has already gone forth from Us, they will be kept far off from it --

21:102 They will not hear the faintest sound of it and they will abide in that which their souls desire.

21:103 The great Terror will not grieve them, and the angels will meet them:

This is your day which you were promised.

21:104 The day when We roll up heaven like the rolling up of the scroll of writings.

As We began the first creation, We shall reproduce it.

A promise (binding) on Us. We shall bring it about.

21:105 And certainly We wrote in the Book after the reminder

that My righteous servants will inherit the land.

21:106 Surely in this is a message for a people who serve (us).

21:107 And We have not sent thee but as a mercy to the nations.

21:108 Say: It is only revealed to me that your God is one God:

will you then submit?

21:109 But if they turn back, say: I have warned you in fairness,

and I know not whether that which you are promised is near or far.

21:110 Surely He knows what is spoken openly and He knows what you hide.

21:111 And I know not if this may be a trial for you and a provision till a time.

21:112 He said: My Lord, judge Thou with truth.

And Our Lord is the Beneficent, Whose help is sought against what you ascribe (to Him).
