Surely your Lord best knows him who errs from His way, and He best knows the followers of the right course.

On the day when there shall be a severe affliction, and they shall be called upon to make obeisance, but they shall not be able,

On the right hand and on the left, in sundry parties?

So that We might try them with respect to it; and whoever turns aside from the reminder of his Lord, He will make him enter into an afflicting chastisement:

About the guilty:

What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition

About the great event,

And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,

They ask you about the hour, when it will come.

Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.

That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.

Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.

Who are unmindful of their prayers,
