36:6To warn a people whose ancestors were not warned, and so they are unaware.

36:7The Word was realized against most of them, for they do not believe.

36:8We placed shackles around their necks, up to their chins, so they are stiff-necked.

36:9And We placed a barrier in front of them, and a barrier behind them, and We have enshrouded them, so they cannot see.

36:10It is the same for them, whether you warn them, or do not warn them—they will not believe.

36:12It is We who revive the dead; and We write down what they have forwarded, and their traces. We have tallied all things in a Clear Record.

36:14We sent them two messengers, but they denied them both, so We reinforced them with a third. They said, “We are messengers to you.”

36:15They said, “You are nothing but humans like us, and the Gracious did not send down anything; you are only lying.”

36:16They said, “Our Lord knows that we are messengers to you.

36:18They said, “We see an evil omen in you; if you do not give up, we will stone you, and a painful punishment from us will befall you.”

36:19They said, “Your evil omen is upon you. Is it because you were reminded? But you are an extravagant people.”

36:23Shall I take other gods instead of Him? If the Merciful desires harm for me, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor will they save me.

36:29It was just one Cry, and they were stilled.

36:30Alas for the servants. No messenger ever came to them, but they ridiculed him.

36:31Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them; and that unto them they will not return?

36:33And there is a sign for them in the dead land: We give it life, and produce from it grains from which they eat.

36:35That they may eat from its fruits, although their hands did not make it. Will they not be appreciative?

36:36Glory be to Him who created all the pairs; of what the earth produces, and of their own selves, and of what they do not know.

36:37Another sign for them is the night: We strip the day out of it—and they are in darkness.

36:42And We created for them the like of it, in which they ride.

36:43If We will, We can drown them—with no screaming to be heard from them, nor will they be saved.

36:46Yet never came to them a sign of their Lord’s signs, but they turned away from it.

36:48And they say, “When will this promise be, if you are truthful?”

36:49All they can expect is a single blast, which will seize them while they feud.

36:50They will not be able to make a will, nor will they return to their families.

36:51The Trumpet will be blown, then behold, they will rush from the tombs to their Lord.

36:52They will say, “Woe to us! Who resurrected us from our resting-place?” This is what the Most Gracious had promised, and the messengers have spoken the truth.”

36:53It will be but a single scream; and behold, they will all be brought before Us.

36:56They and their spouses, in shades, reclining on couches.

36:57They will have therein fruits. They will have whatever they call for.

36:65On this Day, We will seal their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify to everything they had done.

36:66If We will, We can blind their eyes as they rush towards the path—but how will they see?

36:67And if We will, We can cripple them in their place; so they can neither move forward, nor go back.

36:68Whomever We grant old age, We reverse his development. Do they not understand?

36:71Have they not seen that We created for them, of Our Handiwork, livestock that they own?

36:72And We subdued them for them. Some they ride, and some they eat.

36:73And they have in them other benefits, and drinks. Will they not give thanks?

36:74Yet they have taken to themselves gods other than God, that perhaps they may be helped.

36:75They cannot help them, although they are arrayed as troops for them.

36:76So let their words not sadden you. We know what they conceal, and what they reveal.

36:78And he produces arguments against Us, and he forgets his own creation. He says, “Who will revive the bones when they have decayed?”
