(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and whatsoever is in between them, the Most Beneficent,

لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابً۬ا  

none can dare to speak with Him (on the Day of Resurrection except after His Leave).

38

يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةُ صَفًّ۬ا‌ۖ

The Day that Ar-Rooh (Jibrael (Gabriel) or another angel) and the angels will stand forth in rows,

لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابً۬ا  

none shall speak except him whom the Most Beneficent (Allah) allows, and he will speak what is right.

39

ذَٲلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلۡحَقُّ‌ۖ

That is without doubt the True Day,

فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا  

so, whosoever wills, let him seek a place with (or a way to) His Lord (by obeying Him in this worldly life)!

40

إِنَّآ أَنذَرۡنَـٰكُمۡ عَذَابً۬ا قَرِيبً۬ا يَوۡمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاهُ

Verily, We have warned you of a near torment, the Day when man will see that (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth,

وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ يَـٰلَيۡتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٲبَۢا

and the disbeliever will say: "Woe to me! Would that I were dust!"
