50:13  and also the brethren of Lot
50:14  and the inhabitants of the wood near Midian, and the people of Tobba: All these accused the apostles of imposture; wherefore the judgments which I threatened were justly inflicted on them

50:16  We created man, and We know what his soul whispereth within him; and We are nearer unto him than his jugular vein
50:17  When the two angels deputed to take account of a man's behaviour, take an account thereof; one sitting on the right hand, and the other on the left
50:18  He uttereth not a word, but there is with him a watcher, ready to note it
50:19  And the agony of death shall come in truth: This, O man, is what thou soughtest to avoid
50:20  And the trumpet shall sound: This will be the day which hath been threatened
50:21  And every soul shall come; and therewith shall be a driver and a witness
50:22  And the former shall say unto the unbeliever, thou wast negligent heretofore of this day: But we have removed thy veil from off thee; and thy sight is become piercing this day
50:23  And his companion shall say, this is what is ready with me to be attested
50:24  And God shall say, cast into hell every unbeliever, and perverse person
50:25  and every one who forbad good, and every transgressor, and doubter of the faith
50:26  who set up another god with the true God; and cast him into a grievous torment
50:27  His companion shall say, O Lord, I did not seduce him; but he was in a wide error
50:28  God shall say, wrangle not in my presence: Since I threatened you before hand with the torments which ye now see prepared for you

50:32  and it shall be said unto them, this is what ye have been promised; unto every one who turned himself unto God, and kept his commandments

50:34  Enter the same in peace: This is the day of eternity
50:35  Therein shall they have whatever they shall desire; and there will be a superabundant addition of bliss with Us
50:36  How many generations have We destroyed before the Meccans, which were more mighty than they in strength? Pass, therefore, through the regions of the earth, and see whether there be any refuge from our vengeance
50:37  Verily herein is an admonition unto him who hath a heart to understand, or giveth ear, and is present with an attentive mind
