يَقُولُ أَإِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُصَدِّقِينَ ﴿۵۲﴾
Who said: What! are you indeed of those who accept (the truth)? (52)
أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ﴿۵۳﴾
What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be certainly brought to judgment? (53)
قَالَ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُطَّلِعُونَ ﴿۵۴﴾
He shall say: Will you look on? (54)
فَاطَّلَعَ فَرَآهُ فِي سَوَاءِ الْجَحِيمِ ﴿۵۵﴾

قَالَ تَاللَّهِ إِنْ كِدْتَ لَتُرْدِينِ ﴿۵۶﴾
He shall say: By Allah! you had almost caused me to perish; (56)
وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنْتُ مِنَ الْمُحْضَرِينَ ﴿۵۷﴾
And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought up (57)

Is it then that we are not going to die, (58)
إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا الْأُولَى وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ﴿۵۹﴾
Except our previous death? And we shall not be chastised? (59)
إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ ﴿۶۰﴾
Most surely this is the mighty achievement (60)
