Chapter 70, Page 569, Juz 29

36. So what is the matter with the disbelievers that they rush ˹head-long˺ towards you ˹O Prophet˺, 37. from the right and the left, in groups ˹to mock you˺? 38. Does every one of them expect to be admitted into a Garden of Bliss? 39. But no! Indeed, they ˹already˺ know what We created them from. 40. So, I do swear by the Lord of ˹all˺ the points of sunrise and sunset that We are truly capable 41. of replacing them with ˹others˺ better than them, and We cannot be prevented ˹from doing so˺. 42. So let them indulge ˹in falsehood˺ and amuse ˹themselves˺ until they face their Day, which they have been threatened with— 43. the Day they will come forth from the graves swiftly, as if racing to an idol ˹for a blessing˺, 44. with eyes downcast, utterly covered with disgrace. That is the Day they have ˹always˺ been warned of.
