Sura 68: AL-QALAM (THE PEN) - Juz' 29 - Translation Shakir

قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا طَاغِينَ ﴿۳۱﴾
Said they: O woe to us! surely we were inordinate: (31)
عَسَى رَبُّنَا أَنْ يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا رَاغِبُونَ ﴿۳۲﴾
Maybe, our Lord will give us instead one better than it; surely to our Lord do we make our humble petition (32)
كَذَلِكَ الْعَذَابُ وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۳۳﴾
Such is the chastisement, and certainly the chastisement of the hereafter is greater, did they but know! (33)
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ ﴿۳۴﴾
Surely those who guard (against evil) shall have with their Lord gardens of bliss (34)
أَفَنَجْعَلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَالْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿۳۵﴾
What! shall We then make (that is, treat) those who submit as the guilty? (35)
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ﴿۳۶﴾
What has happened to you? How do you judge? (36)
أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَابٌ فِيهِ تَدْرُسُونَ ﴿۳۷﴾
Or have you a book wherein you read, (37)
إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ ﴿۳۸﴾
That you have surely therein what you choose? (38)
أَمْ لَكُمْ أَيْمَانٌ عَلَيْنَا بَالِغَةٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَ ﴿۳۹﴾
Or have you received from Us an agreement confirmed by an oath extending to the day of resurrection that you shall surely have what you demand? (39)
سَلْهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ بِذَلِكَ زَعِيمٌ ﴿۴۰﴾
Ask them which of them will vouch for that, (40)
