They will say, “We were not among those who offered Salāh , (obligatory prayer)

and we did not give food to the needy,

and we indulged (in mocking at the truth) along with those who indulged,

and we used to deny the Day of Requital,

until when we were overtaken by that which is certain.”

Then intercession of intercessors will not benefit them.

So what has happened to them that they are turning away from the Reminder,

as if they were wild donkeys,

fleeing from a lion?

Rather, every one of them wishes that he should be given unrolled (divine) scriptures.

Never! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

Never! Indeed, this is a Reminder.

So, whoever so wishes may take advice from it.

And they will not take advice unless Allah so wills. He is worthy to be feared, and worthy to forgive.
