بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
21:1 The reckoning of mankind is near, but they still turn away in disbelief.
21:2 Whenever a new message (dhikr) comes to them from their Lord, they listen to it without taking it seriously.
21:3 "Their hearts are reckless. The wrongdoers talked to each other in secret: "Is this man not a man like you? Are you going to be bewitched?"
21:4 "He said, "My Lord knows every word in heaven and earth. He is the Hearing, the Knowing. "
21:5 "They even said, "It is a vain imagination,"and, "He has fabricated it,"and, "He is a poet; let him bring us miracles like the messengers of old."
21:6 None of the people whom We destroyed before them believed; will these believe now?
21:7 We did not send before you any messenger except to men, but We revealed to them; ask the experts if you do not know.
21:8 We did not create them as bodies that did not eat, nor were they immortal.
21:9 Then We fulfilled Our promise to them; We saved them with those whom We willed, and We destroyed those who went astray.
21:10 We have sent down to you a Book containing the Message for you. Will you not use your intellect?
21:11 And how many nations did We destroy because they were unjust, and We brought after them other peoples.
21:12 As soon as they felt Our torment, they tried to flee from it.
21:13 Do not flee, but return to your homes where you lived in luxury and extravagance. For you will be questioned.
21:15 They will keep repeating this supplication until they have devoured them.
21:16 We did not create the heavens and the earth and all that is between them for play.
21:17 If We had wished to have a pastime, We would have made it from Our own Presence. Yes, if We had wished such a thing!
21:18 Nay, We throw the truth upon falsehood and it crushes and destroys it. Woe to you for what you ascribe.
21:19 To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Those who are with Him are not arrogant in worshipping Him, nor do they pause.
