Say (O Muhammad SAW) "Be you stones or iron," (50) "Or some created
thing that is yet greater (or harder) in your breasts (thoughts to be
resurrected, even then you shall be resurrected)" Then, they will say:
"Who shall bring us back (to life)?" Say: "He Who created you
first!" Then, they will shake their heads at you and say: "When will
that be ?" Say: "Perhaps it is near!" (51) On the Day when He
will call you, and you will answer (His Call) with (words of) His Praise and
Obedience, and you will think that you have stayed (in this world) but a little
while! (52) And say to My slaves (i.e. the true believers of Islâmic
Monotheism) that they should (only) say those words that are the best.
(Because) Shaitân (Satan) verily, sows state of conflicit and disagreements
among them. Surely, Shaitân (Satan) is to man a plain enemy. (53) Your Lord knows you
best, if He wills, He will have mercy on you, or if He wills, He will punish
you. And We have not sent you (O Muhammad SAW) as a guardian over them. (54) And your Lord knows
best all who are in the heavens and the earth. And indeed, We have preferred
some of the Prophets above others, and to Dawûd (David) We gave the Zabûr
(Psalms). (55) Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Call upon those - besides Him - whom
you pretend [to be gods like angels, Isâ (Jesus), 'Uzair (Ezra) and others].
They have neither the power to remove the adversity from you nor even to shift
it from you to another person." (56) Those whom they call upon [like
'Īsā (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), 'Uzair (Ezra), angel] desire (for
themselves) means of access to their Lord (Allâh), as to which of them should
be the nearest and they ['Īsā (Jesus), 'Uzair (Ezra), angels and
others] hope for His Mercy and fear His Torment. Verily, the Torment of your
Lord is (something) to be afraid of! (57) And there is not a town (population)
but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a
severe torment. That is written in the Book (of our Decrees)[]. (58)
