Part 17 / Chapter 21Chapter 21 / اقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ
 
Their accounting draws near for mankind, while they are turning away in heedlessness1اقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ
Not comes to them a reminder anew from their Lordمَا يَأْتِيْهِمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ مُّحْدَثٍ
except they listen to it while they play2إِلَّا اسْتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُوْنَ
He said, “my Lord knows what is said in the heavens and the earthقَالَ رَبِّي يَعْلَمُ القَوْلَ فِي السَّمَآءِ وَالأَرْضِ
and He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing.4وَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ العَلِيْمُ
111
he said, “my Lord! judge You in truth! our Lord is the Most Gracious,قَالَ رَبِّ احْكُم بِالحَقِّ رَبُّنَا الرَّحْمَانُ
the One whose help is sought against what you attribute112المُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُوْنَ
