WHAT, THEN, is amiss with such as are bent on denying the truth, that they run about confusedly to and fro before thee, 36 towards thee on the right hand and on the left hand in knots? 37 Does every one of them hope to enter [by this means] 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 [Our being] the Sustainer of all the points of sunrise and sunset: verily, well able are We 40 To bring instead (others) better than them, and We shall not be overcome. 41 So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they encounter that Day of theirs which they have been promised!- 42 the Day when they shall come forth in haste from their graves, as if racing towards a goal-post, 43 Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised. 44
