This is how We relate to you ˹O Prophet˺ some of the stories of the past. And We have certainly granted you a Reminder¹ from Us.

Whoever turns away from it will surely bear the burden ˹of sin˺ on the Day of Judgment,

suffering its consequences forever. What an evil burden they will carry on Judgment Day!

˹Beware of˺ the Day the Trumpet will be blown,¹ and We will gather the wicked on that Day blue-faced ˹from horror and thirst˺.²

They will whisper among themselves, “You stayed no more than ten days ˹on the earth˺.”

We know best what they will say—the most reasonable of them will say, “You stayed no more than a day.”

And ˹if˺ they ask you ˹O Prophet˺ about the mountains, ˹then˺ say, “My Lord will wipe them out completely,

leaving the earth level and bare,

with neither depressions nor elevations to be seen.”

On that Day all will follow the caller ˹for assembly˺, ˹and˺ none will dare to deviate. All voices will be hushed before the Most Compassionate. Only whispers¹ will be heard.

On that Day no intercession will be of any benefit, except by those granted permission by the Most Compassionate and whose words are agreeable to Him.
