29* And they (sometimes) say: "There is nothing except our life on this earth, and never shall we be raised up again."  
| |30* If thou couldst but see when they shall be made to stand before their Lord! He will say: "Is not this the truth?" They will say: "Yea, by our Lord!" He will say: "Taste ye then the chastisement, because ye rejected Faith."  
| |31* Lost indeed are they who treat it as a falsehood that they must meet Allah,- until on a sudden the hour is on them, and they say: "Ah! woe unto us that we neglected"; for they bear their burdens on their backs, and evil indeed are the burdens that they bear?  
| |32* Nothing is the life of this world but play and amusement. But best is the Home in the Hereafter, for those who are righteous. Will ye not then understand?  
| |33* We know indeed the grief which their words do cause thee: It is not thee they reject: it is the Signs of Allah, which the wicked deny.  
| |34* Rejected were the messengers before thee: with patience and constancy they bore their rejection and their persecution, until Our aid did reach them: there is none that can alter the Words (and Decrees) of Allah. Already hast thou received some account of those messengers.  
| |35* If their spurning is hard on thee, yet if thou wert able to seek a tunnel in the ground or a ladder to the skies and bring them a Sign,- (what good?). If it were Allah's Will, He could gather them together unto true guidance: so be not thou amongst those who are swayed by ignorance (and impatience)!  
| |36* Those who listen (in truth), be sure, will accept: as to the dead, Allah will raise them up; then will they be returned unto Him.  
| |37* They say: "Why is not a Sign sent down to him from his Lord!" Say: "Allah hath certainly power to send down a Sign: but most of them understand not."  
| |38* There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you. Nothing have We omitted from the Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the end.
