"And think not Allah to be heedless of what the unjust do. He only respites them to a day when the eyes will stare (in terror), Hastening forward, their heads upraised, their gaze not returning to them, and their hearts vacant. And warn people of a day when the chastisement will come to them, then the wrongdoers will say: Our Lord, respite us to a near term, we will respond to Thy call and follow the messengers. Did you not swear before that there will be no passing away for you? And you dwell in the abodes of those who wronged themselves, and it is clear to you how We dealt with them and We made (them) examples for you. And they have indeed planned their plan, and their plan is with Allah, though their plan is such that the mountains should be moved thereby. So think not that Allah will fail in His promise to His messengers. Surely Allah is Mighty, the Lord of retribution. On the day when the earth will be changed into a different earth, and the heavens (as well), and they will come forth to Allah, the One, the Supreme. And thou wilt see the guilty on that day linked together in chains -- Their shirts made of pitch, and fire covering their faces, That Allah may repay each soul what it has earned. Surely Allah is Swift in reckoning. This is a message for the people and that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is One God, and that men of understanding may mind."
