PT. 23 YĀ SIN CH. 36 الْأَجْدَاثِ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَنْسِلُوْنَ they will hasten on to their <mark><mark><mark><mark>Lord</mark></mark></mark></mark>. 3247 53. They will say, 'O! woe to قَالُوْا يُوَيْلَنَا مَنْ بَعَثَنَا مِنْ مَّرْقَدِنَا هَذَا us! <mark>who</mark> has raised us from our E مَا وَعَدَ الرَّحْمَنُ وَصَدَقَ الْمُرْسَلُونَ place of sleep? This is what the * Gracious <mark><mark>God</mark></mark> had promised, and the Messengers indeed spoke the truth. '3248 اِنْ كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَاحِدَةً فَإِذَاهُمْ It will be but one blast and. 54 جَمِيعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ lo! they will all be brought before Us. 3249 فَالْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئًا وَ لَا تُجْزَوْنَ And on that day, no soul. 55 will be wronged in aught; nor will you be requited but for what you used to do. إِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ 3247.
