Throughout your life you will not be able to let anyone touch you. This will be your punishment in this life. The time for your final punishment is inevitable. You will never be able to avoid it. Look at your god which you have been worshipping. We will burn it in the fire and scatter its ashes into the sea." 97 Your Allah is only Allah, there is no god but He; He comprehends all things in (His) knowledge. 98 Thus We relate to you the history of past events, and We have given you a reminder [the Quran] from Us. 99 Whosoever turnoth away therefrom - verily they shall bear on the Day of Judgment a burthen, 100 Abiding under it - an evil burden for them on the Day of Resurrection, 101 the Day when the Trumpet shall be sounded and We shall muster the sinners, their eyes turned blue with terror. 102 whispering unto one another, "You have spent but ten [days on earth] 103 We know well what they will say when the most upright among them will say: "You did not tarry more than a day." 104
