[37:52]

Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words) ?

[37:53]

Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book ?

[37:54]

He saith: Will ye look ?

[37:55]

Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell.

[37:56]

He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,

[37:57]

And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom).

[37:58]

Are we then not to die

[37:59]

Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished ?

[37:60]

Lo! this is the supreme triumph.

[37:61]

For the like of this, then, let the workers work.

[37:62]

Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum ?

[37:63]

[37:66]

And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith.

[37:67]

And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.

[37:69]

They indeed found their fathers astray,

[37:70]

[37:71]

And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,

[37:72]

And verily We sent among them warners.

[37:73]

Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,

[37:74]

Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

[37:75]

And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer

[37:76]

And We saved him and his household from the great distress,
