and will drive the sinners towards the Jahannam as herds of cattle (are driven) towards water,

none will have power to intercede, except the one who has entered into a covenant with the All-Merciful (Allah).

They say, “The All-Merciful (Allah) has got a son.”

Indeed you have come up with such an abominable statement

that the heavens are well-nigh to explode at it, and the earth to burst apart, and the mountains to fall down crumbling,

for they have ascribed a son to the All-Merciful (Allah),

while it does not behove the All-Merciful to have a son.

There is none in the heavens and the earth, but bound to come to the All-Merciful as a salve.

He has fully encompassed them and precisely calculated their numbers,

and each one of them is bound to come to Him on the Day of Judgment, all alone.

Surely, those who believe and do righteous deeds, for them the All-Merciful (Allah) will create love.

So We have made it (the Qur’ān) easy through your tongue, so that you give with it the good news to the God-fearing, and warn with it an obstinate people.

And how many a generation We have destroyed before them! Do you sense (the presence of) any one of them, or hear from them even a whisper?
