Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them! Therefor, worship thou Him and be thou steadfast in His service. Knowest thou one that can be named along with Him

And man saith: When I am dead, shall I forsooth be brought forth alive

Doth not man remember that We created him before, when he was naught

And, by thy Lord, verily We shall assemble them and the devils, then We shall bring them, crouching, around hell

Then We shall pluck out from every sect whichever of them was most stubborn in rebellion to the Beneficent

And surely We are Best Aware of those most worthy to be burned therein

There is not one of you but shall approach it. That is a fixed ordinance of thy Lord

Then We shall rescue those who kept from evil, and leave the evil-doers crouching there

And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Which of the two parties (yours or ours) is better in position, and more imposing as an army

How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who were more imposing in respect of gear and outward seeming

Say: As for him who is in error, the Beneficent will verily prolong his span of life until, when they behold that which they were promised, whether it be punishment (in the world), or the Hour (of doom), they will know who is worse in position and who is weaker as an army

Allah increaseth in right guidance those who walk aright, and the good deeds which endure are better in thy Lord's sight for reward, and better for resort
