Awa aabaaa’unal awwaloon
Qul innal awwaleena wal aakhireen
Lamajmoo’oona ilaa meeqaati yawmim ma’loom

English:
For that they were wont to be indulged, before that, in wealth (and luxury),
And persisted obstinately in wickedness supreme!
And they used to say, “What! when we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised up again?-
“(We) and our fathers of old?”
Say: “Yea, those of old and those of later times,
“All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known.
“Then will ye truly,- O ye that go wrong, and treat (Truth) as Falsehood!-

45. إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ
46. وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنْثِ الْعَظِيمِ
47. وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
48. أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ
49. قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ
50. لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ
51. ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا الضَّالُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ
