بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِیمِ

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MERCIFUL THE COMPASSIONATE

اقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِى غَفْلَة مُّعْرِضُونَ(( 1 ))

1- THE TIME HAS APPROACHED FOR PEOPLE'S RECKONING AND YET THEY TURN AWAY IN NEGLIGENCE.

مَا یَأْتِیهِمْ مِنْ ذِکْر مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ مُّحْدَث إِلاَّ اسْتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمْ یَلْعَبُونَ(( 2 ))

2- NO NEW REMINDER CAME TO THEM FROM THEIR LORD, EXCEPT THAT THEY HEARD IT WHILE THEY WERE PLAYING!

لاَهِیَةً قُلُوبُهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَى الَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا هَلْ هَذَا إِلاَّ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُکُمْ أَفَتَأْتُونَ السِّحْرَ وَأَنْتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ(( 3 ))

3- THEIR HEARTS ARE AMUSED. AND THE OPPRESSORS HIDE WHISPERING; ``IS HE OTHER THAN A HUMAN LIKE YOURSELVES? DO YOU THEN GO TO WITCHCRAFT WHILE YOU CAN SEE?''

قَالَ رَبِّى یَعْلَمُ الْقَوْلَ فِى السَّمَاءِ وَالاَْرْضِ وَهُوَ السَّمِیعُ الْعَلِیمُ(( 4 ))

4- HE SAID:ِ ``MY LORD KNOWS WHATEVER IS SAID IN THE HEAVENS AND EARTH, AND HE IS ALL-HEARING, ALL-KNOWING.''

بَلْ قَالُوا أَضْغَاثُ أَحْلاَم بَلِ افْتَرَاهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ فَلْیَأْتِنَا بِآیَة کَمَا أُرْسِلَ الاَْوَّلُونَ(( 5 ))

5- THEY SAID:ِ (THESE ARE NOT INSPIRATIONS. THEY ARE ONLY) NIGHTMARES, OR HE HAS FORGED IT, OR HE MIGHT BE A POET, (OR IF NOT SO) THEN LET HIM BRING US A SIGN, LIKE THAT WITH WHICH THE FIRST MESSENGERS WERE SENT.
