WHAT, THEN, is amiss with such as are bent on denying the truth, that they run about confusedly to and fro before thee, 36 On the right and on the left, in companies? 37 What, is every man of them eager to be admitted to a Garden of Bliss? 38 By no means! For We have created them out of the (base matter) they know! 39 But nay! I call to witness the Lord of the Easts and the Wests, that We have the power 40 to replace them with [people] better than they are; for there is nothing to prevent Us [from doing what We will]. 41 So leave them to their vain disputes and amusement till they meet their day (of reckoning) promised them, 42 the Day when they shall come forth in haste from their graves, as if racing towards a goal-post, 43 Their eyes will be downcast and disgrace will overwhelm them. Such is the Day that they were promised. 44
