وَیَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ یُقْسِمُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ مَا لَبِثُوا غَیْرَ سَاعَة کَذَلِکَ کَانُوا یُؤْفَکُونَ(( 55 ))

55- AND THE DAY WHEN THE HOUR COMES, THE SINNERS WILL SWEAR THAT THEY TARRIED NOT EXCEPT ONE HOUR. SO WERE THEY DEVIATED. (FROM THE TRUTH)

وَقَالَ الَّذِینَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ وَالاِْیمَانَ لَقَدْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِی کِتَابِ اللهِ إِلَى یَوْمِ الْبَعْثِ فَهَذَا یَوْمُ الْبَعْثِ وَلَکِنَّکُمْ کُنتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ(( 56 ))

56- AND THOSE WHO ARE ENDOWED WITH KNOWLEDGE AND FAITH WILL SAY:- ``VERILY YOU HAVE TARRIED UP TO THE RESURRECTION DAY IN THE BOOK OF ALLAH, AND THIS IS THE RESURRECTION DAY, BUT YOU WERE NOT AWARE.''

فَیَوْمَئِذ لاَ یَنفَعُ الَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ وَلاَ هُمْ یُسْتَعْتَبُونَ(( 57 ))

57- THEN IN THAT DAY, THE EXCUSE OF THOSE WHO HAVE OPPRESSED WILL NOT PROFIT THEM, NOR IS THEIR REPENTANCE ACCEPTED.

وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِی هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ مِنْ کُلِّ مَثَل وَلَئِنْ جِئْتَهُمْ بِآیَة لَیَقُولَنَّ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُوا إِنْ أَنْتُمْ إِلاَّ مُبْطِلُونَ(( 58 ))

58- AND VERILY WE HAVE STRUCK FOR PEOPLE IN THIS QURÄN OF ALL SORTS OF SIMILITUDE. AND IF YOU BRING THEM A SIGN, THE NON-BELIEVERS WILL SAY; YOU ARE NOTHING BUT VOIDED.

کَذَلِکَ یَطْبَعُ اللهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِ الَّذِینَ لاَ یَعْلَمُونَ(( 59 ))

59- SO DOES ALLAH SEAL THE HEART OF THOSE WHO KNOW NOT.

فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللهِ حَقٌّ وَلاَ یَسْتَخِفَّنَّکَ الَّذِینَ لاَ یُوقِنُونَ(( 60 ))

60- THEN BE PATIENT, THAT THE PROMISE OF ALLAH IS TRUE. AND LET NOT THOSE WHO ARE NOT SURE TO WAVER YOU.
