But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing.

When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant [i.e., unlikely] return."
— Saheeh International
We know what the earth diminishes [i.e., consumes] of them, and with Us is a retaining record.
— Saheeh International
But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused condition.
— Saheeh International
Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?
— Saheeh International
And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind,
— Saheeh International
Giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allāh].
— Saheeh International
And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest
— Saheeh International
And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers -
— Saheeh International
As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the emergence [i.e., resurrection].
— Saheeh International
The people of Noah denied before them,1 and the companions of the well2 and Thamūd
— Saheeh International
And ʿAad and Pharaoh and the brothers [i.e., people] of Lot
— Saheeh International
And the companions of the thicket and the people of Tubbaʿ. All denied the messengers, so My threat was justly fulfilled.
— Saheeh International
Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation.
— Saheeh International
And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer1 to him than [his] jugular vein.
— Saheeh International
When the two receivers [i.e., recording angels] receive,1 seated on the right and on the left.

— Saheeh International
And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat.
— Saheeh International
And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness.1
— Saheeh International
[It will be said], "You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover,1 so your sight, this Day, is sharp."
— Saheeh International
And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared."
— Saheeh International
[Allāh will say], "Throw into Hell every obstinate disbeliever,
— Saheeh International
Preventer of good, aggressor, and doubter,
— Saheeh International
Who made [as equal] with Allāh another deity; then throw him into the severe punishment."
— Saheeh International
His [devil] companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not make him transgress, but he [himself] was in extreme error."
— Saheeh International
[Allāh] will say, "Do not dispute before Me, while I had already presented to you the threat [i.e., warning].
— Saheeh International
The word [i.e., decree] will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants."
— Saheeh International
On the Day We will say to Hell, "Have you been filled?" and it will say, "Are there some more,"
— Saheeh International
And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far,
— Saheeh International
[It will be said], "This is what you were promised - for every returner [to Allāh] and keeper [of His covenant].
— Saheeh International
Who feared the Most Merciful in the unseen and came with a heart returning [in repentance].
— Saheeh International
Enter it in peace. This is the Day of Eternity."
— Saheeh International
They will have whatever they wish therein, and with Us is more.
— Saheeh International
And how many a generation before them did We destroy who were greater than them in [striking] power and had explored throughout the lands. Is there any place of escape?
— Saheeh International
Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind].
— Saheeh International
And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness.
— Saheeh International
So be patient, [O Muḥammad], over what they say and exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting,
— Saheeh International
And [in part] of the night exalt Him and after prostration [i.e., prayer].
