Sura 37: AS-SAAFFAT (THOSE WHO SET THE RANKS) - Juz' 23 - Translation Shakir

فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمْ مَنْ خَلَقْنَا إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُمْ مِنْ طِينٍ لَازِبٍ ﴿۱۱﴾
Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay (11)
بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ ﴿۱۲﴾
Nay! you wonder while they mock, (12)
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا لَا يَذْكُرُونَ ﴿۱۳﴾
And when they are reminded, they mind not, (13)
وَإِذَا رَأَوْا آيَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ ﴿۱۴﴾
And when they see a sign they incite one another to scoff, (14)
وَقَالُوا إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُبِينٌ ﴿۱۵﴾
And they say: This is nothing but clear magic: (15)
أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ﴿۱۶﴾
What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then certainly be raised, (16)
أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ ﴿۱۷﴾
Or our fathers of yore? (17)
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنْتُمْ دَاخِرُونَ ﴿۱۸﴾
Say: Aye! and you shall be abject (18)
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ ﴿۱۹﴾
So it shall only be a single cry, when lo! they shall see (19)
وَقَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا هَذَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ ﴿۲۰﴾
And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day of requital (20)
