Verses
Bis-millahi ar-rahman, ar-raheem.
In the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful.All that exists on the earth will perish,[26] but the Face of your Lord will remain full of Majesty and Glory.[27] Then, O jinns and men, which of your Lord’s favors will both of you deny?[28] All who dwell in the heavens and the earth, implore Him for their needs, every day He is busy in some mighty task.[29] Then, O jinns and men, which of your Lord’s favors will both of you deny?[30] O you, the two burdens (jinns and mankind)! Soon We shall find the time to call you to account.[31] Then, O jinns and men, which of your Lord’s favors will both of you deny?[32] 55:[26-32]
O you, the assembly of jinns and men! If you have the power to get away from the boundaries of the heavens and the earth (to escape from His punishment), then get away! You cannot get away except with Our authority.[33] Then, O jinns and men, which of your Lord’s favors will both of you deny?[34] The flames of fire and molten brass will be unleashed on you both, jinns and men, and you will not be able to defend yourselves.[35] Then, O jinns and men, which of your Lord’s favors will both of you deny?[36] When the heaven splits asunder and reddens like red-oil.[37] Then, O jinns and men, which of your Lord’s favors will both of you deny?[38] 55:[33-38]
On that Day neither man nor jinn will need be asked about his sins.[39] Then, O jinns and men, which of your Lord’s favors will both of you deny?[40] Because the sinners will be recognized by their faces and they shall be seized by their forelocks and their feet.[41] Then, O jinns and men, which of your Lord’s favors will both of you deny?[42] It will be said to them: “This is the hell which the criminals had denied.”[43] They shall wander to and fro between fire and hot boiling water.[44] Then, O jinns and men, which of your Lord’s favors will both of you deny?[45] 55:[39-45]
Ameen.
