[40:17]
This day is each soul requited that which it
hath earned; no wrong (is done) this day. Lo! Allah is swift at reckoning.
[40:18]
Warn them (O Muhammad) of the Day of the
approaching (doom), when the hearts will be choking
the throats, (when) there will be no friend for the wrong-doers, nor any intercessor
who will be heard.
[40:19]
He knoweth the traitor of the eyes, and that
which the bosoms hide.
[40:20]

they cry instead of Him judge not at all. Lo! Allah, He is
the Hearer, the Seer.
[40:21]
Have they not travelled in the land to see the
nature of the consequence for those who disbelieved before them
? They were mightier than these in power and (in the) traces (which they
left behind them) in the earth. Yet Allah seized them for their sins, and they
had no protector from Allah.
[40:22]
That was because their messengers kept bringing
them clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty) but they disbelieved; so Allah
seized them. Lo! He is Strong, severe in punishment.
[40:23]
And verily We sent
Moses with Our revelations and a clear warrant
[40:24]
Unto Pharaoh and Haman and Korah, but they said:
A lying sorcerer!
[40:25]
And when he brought them the Truth from Our
presence, they said: Slay the sons of those who believe with him, and spare their
women. But the plot of disbelievers is in naught but error.
