وَإِذَا رَآکَ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُوا إِنْ یَتَّخِذُونَکَ إِلاَّ هُزُواً أَهَذَا الَّذِى یَذْکُرُ آلِهَتَکُمْ وَهُمْ بِذِکْرِ الرَّحْمنِ هُمْ کَافِرُونَ(( 36 ))

36- AND WHEN THE UNBELIEVERS SEE YOU, THEY TAKE YOU NOT, EXCEPT FOR AN OBJECT OF MOCKERY. (THEY SAY:ِ ) ``IS HE WHO TALKS AGAINST YOUR GODS?'' AND THEY THEMSELVES BLASPHEME AT THE MENTION OF THE MERCIFUL.

خُلِقَ الاِْنسَانُ مِنْ عَجَل سَأُرِیکُمْ آیَاتِى فَلاَ تَسْتَعْجِلُونِ(( 37 ))

37- MAN HAS BEEN CREATED OF HASTE. SOON WILL I SHOW YOU MY SIGNS. THEN DO NOT ASK ME TO HASTEN.

وَیَقُولُونَ مَتَى هَذَا الْوَعْدُ إِنْ کُنتُمْ صَادِقِینَ(( 38 ))

38- AND THEY SAY:ِ ``WHEN IS THE PROMISE COMING TO PASS, IF YOU ARE TRUTHFULS?''

لَوْ یَعْلَمُ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُوا حِینَ لاَ یَکُفُّونَ عَنْ وُجُوهِهِمُ النَّارَ وَلاَ عَنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ یُنْصَرُونَ(( 39 ))

39- IF THE UNBELIEVERS COULD ONLY KNOW WHEN THEY CANNOT WARD OFF THE FIRE FROM THEIR FACES, NOR FROM THEIR BACKS, AND NEITHER ARE THEY HELPED.

بَلْ تَأْتِیهِمْ بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ فَلاَ یَسْتَطِیعُونَ رَدَّهَا وَلاَ هُمْ یُنظَرُونَ(( 40 ))

40- IT WILL COME UPON THEM AT ONCE, AND CONFOUNDS THEM SO THAT THEY CANNOT BYِPASS IT; NOR WILL THEY BE RESPITED.
