وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيۡفَ رُفِعَتۡ
(88:18) And the sky: how it was raised high?
وَإِلَى ٱلۡجِبَالِ كَيۡفَ نُصِبَتۡ
(88:19) And the mountains: how they were fixed?
وَإِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَيۡفَ سُطِحَتۡ
(88:20) And the earth: how it was spread out?7
فَذَكِّرۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٞ
(88:21) So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel,
لَّسۡتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِمُصَيۡطِرٍ
(88:22) and are not invested with the authority to compel them.8
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ
(88:23) But whoever will turn away (from the Truth),
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرَ
(88:24) Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement.
إِنَّ إِلَيۡنَآ إِيَابَهُمۡ
(88:25) Surely to Us is their return;
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا حِسَابَهُم
(88:26) and then it is for Us to call them to account.
