سورة يس
48

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

Wayaqooloona mata hatha alwaAAdu in kuntum sadiqeena

Further, they say, "When will this promise (come to pass), if what ye say is true?"

49

مَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ تَأۡخُذُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ يَخِصِّمُونَ

Ma yanthuroona illa sayhatan wahidatan takhuthuhum wahum yakhissimoona

They will not (have to) wait for aught but a single Blast: it will seize them while they are yet disputing among themselves!

50

فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ تَوۡصِيَةٗ وَلَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ

Fala yastateeAAoona tawsiyatan wala ila ahlihim yarjiAAoona

No (chance) will they then have, by will, to dispose (of their affairs), nor to return to their own people!

51

وَنُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَنسِلُونَ

Wanufikha fee alssoori faitha hum mina alajdathi ila rabbihim yansiloona

The trumpet shall be sounded, when behold! from the sepulchres (men) will rush forth to their Lord!

52

قَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا مَنۢ بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرۡقَدِنَاۜۗ هَٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَصَدَقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ

Qaloo ya waylana man baAAathana min marqadina hatha ma waAAada alrrahmanu wasadaqa almursaloona

They will say: "Ah! Woe unto us! Who hath raised us up from our beds of repose?"... (A voice will say:) "This is what (Allah) Most Gracious had promised. And true was the word of the messengers!"
