36. Ja Sin · verses 43–46

وَإِن نَّشَأۡ نُغۡرِقۡهُمۡ فَلَا صَرِيخَ لَهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنقَذُونَ

Wain nasha nughriqhum fala sareekha lahum wala hum yunqathoona

If it were Our Will, We could drown them: then would there be no helper (to hear their cry), nor could they be delivered,

إِلَّا رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنَّا وَمَتَٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٖ

Illa rahmatan minna wamataAAan ila heenin

Except by way of Mercy from Us, and by way of (world) convenience (to serve them) for a time.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُواْ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ

Waitha qeela lahumu ittaqoo ma bayna aydeekum wama khalfakum laAAallakum turhamoona

When they are told, "Fear ye that which is before you and that which will be after you, in order that ye may receive Mercy," (they turn back).

وَمَا تَأۡتِيهِم مِّنۡ ءَايَةٖ مِّنۡ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهَا مُعۡرِضِينَ

Wama tateehim min ayatin min ayati rabbihim illa kanoo AAanha muAArideena

Not a Sign comes to them from among the Signs of their Lord, but they turn away therefrom.
