Any more (to come)?"

Who kept (His Law),

36. But how many
Generations before them
Did We destroy (for their
Sins),—stronger in power
Than they? Then did they
Wander through the land:
Was there any place
Of escape (for them)?

37. Inna fee thalika lathikra liman kana lahu qalbun aw alqa alssamAAa wahuwa shaheedun

Is a Message
For any that has
A heart and understanding
Or who gives ear and
Earnestly witnesses (the truth).

And the earth and all
Between them in Six Days,
Nor did any sense
Of weariness touch Us.

All that they say,
And celebrate the praises
Of thy Lord, before
The rising of the sun
And before (its) setting,

40. Wamina allayli fasabbihhu waadbara alssujoodi

40. And during part
Of the night, (also,)
Celebrate His praises,
And (so likewise)
After the postures
Of adoration.

When the Caller will call
Out from a place
Quite near,—

Hear a (mighty) Blast
In (very) truth: that
Will be the Day
Of Resurrection.

Give Life and Death;
And to Us is
The Final Goal—

44. Yawma tashaqqaqu al-ardu AAanhum siraAAan thalika hashrun AAalayna yaseerun

44. The Day when
The Earth will be
Rent asunder, from (men)
Hurrying out: that will be
A gathering together,—
Quite easy for Us.

45. Nahnu aAAlamu bima yaqooloona wama anta AAalayhim bijabbarin fathakkir bialqur-ani man yakhafu waAAeedi

45. We know best what they
Say; and thou art not
One to overawe them
By force. So admonish
With the Qur-ān such
As fear My Warning!
