S: And (as to) those who reject Our communications, We draw them near (to destruction) by degrees from whence they know not. 007.183 Y: Respite will I grant unto them: for My scheme is strong (and unfailing). P: I give them rein (for) lo! My scheme is strong. S: And I grant them respite; surely My scheme is effective. 007.184 Y: Do they not reflect? Their companion is not seized with madness: he is but a perspicuous warner. P: Have they not bethought them (that) there is no madness in their comrade? He is but a plain warner. S: Do they not reflect that their companion has not unsoundness in mind; he is only a plain warner. 007.185 Y: Do they see nothing in the government of the heavens and the earth and all that Allah hath created? (Do they not see) that it may well be that their term is nigh drawing to an end? In what message after this will they then believe? P: Have they not considered the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and what things Allah hath created, and that it may be that their own term draweth nigh? In what fact after this will they believe? S: Do they not consider the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatever things Allah has created, and that may be their doom shall have drawn nigh; what announcement would they then believe in after this? 007.186 Y: To such as Allah rejects from His guidance, there can be no guide: He will leave them in their trespasses, wandering in distraction. P: Those whom Allah sendeth astray, there is no guide for them. He leaveth them to wander blindly on in their contumacy. S: Whomsoever Allah causes to err, there is no guide for him; and He leaves them alone in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on. 007.187 Y: They ask thee about the (final) Hour - when will be its appointed time? Say: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord (alone): None but He can reveal as to when it will occur. Heavy were its burden through the heavens and the earth. Only, all of a sudden will it come to you." They ask thee as if thou Wert eager in search thereof: Say: "The knowledge thereof is with Allah (alone), but most men know not." P: They ask thee of the (destined) Hour, when will it come to port. Say: Knowledge thereof is with my Lord only. He alone will manifest it at its proper time. It is heavy in the heavens and the earth. It cometh not to you save unawares. They question thee as if thou couldst be well informed thereof. Say: Knowledge thereof is with Allah only, but most of mankind know not. S: They ask you about the hour, when will be its taking place? Say: The knowledge of it is only with my Lord; none but He shall manifest it at its time; it will be momentous in the heavens and the earth; it will not come on you but of a sudden. They ask you as if you were solicitous about it. Say: Its knowledge is only with Allah, but most people do not know.
