as a provision to the slaves (of Allah). And We gave life with it to a dead land. Similar will be the exit (of the dead from their graves).

It (resurrection) was rejected prior to them by the people of Nuh, and the people of Rass and Thamud,

and ` Ad, and Fir'aun, and the brothers of Lut,

and dwellers of Aykah, and the people of Tubba'. Each one of them rejected the messengers; so My threat came true.

Is it then that We were worn out by the first creation? No, but they are in confusion about the new creation.

And indeed We have created man, and We know whatever thoughts his inner self develops, and We are closer to him than (his) jugular vein,

when the two receiving angels receive (every human act to record it), seated (one) on the right and (one) on the left.

Not a single word is uttered by one, but there is a watcher near him, ready (to record).

And the daze of death has (to) come with truth. That is what you tried to escape.

And the Horn will be blown. That will be the day of (which) threat (was given).
