ٱلْأَعْرَاف : ٥٣

  • هَلۡ Do
  • يَنظُرُونَ they wait
  • إِلَّا except
  • تَأۡوِيلَهُۥۚ (for) its fulfillment
  • يَوۡمَ (The) Day
  • يَأۡتِي (will) come
  • تَأۡوِيلُهُۥ its fulfillment
  • يَقُولُ will say
  • ٱلَّذِينَ those who
  • نَسُوهُ had forgotten it
  • مِن from
  • قَبۡلُ before
  • قَدۡ Verily
  • جَآءَتۡ had come
  • رُسُلُ (the) Messengers
  • رَبِّنَا (of) our Lord
  • بِٱلۡحَقِّ with the truth
  • فَهَل so are (there)
  • لَّنَا for us
  • مِن any
  • شُفَعَآءَ intercessors
  • فَيَشۡفَعُواْ so (that) they intercede
  • لَنَآ for us
  • أَوۡ or
  • نُرَدُّ we are sent back
  • فَنَعۡمَلَ so (that) we do (deeds)
  • غَيۡرَ other than
  • ٱلَّذِي that which
  • كُنَّا we used to
  • نَعۡمَلُۚ do
  • قَدۡ Verily
  • خَسِرُوٓاْ they lost
  • أَنفُسَهُمۡ themselves
  • وَضَلَّ and strayed
  • عَنۡهُم from them
  • مَّا what
  • كَانُواْ they used to
  • يَفۡتَرُونَ invent
Do they await except its result?1 The Day its result comes, those who had ignored it before will say, "The messengers of our Lord had come with the truth, so are there [now] any intercessors to intercede for us or could we be sent back to do other than what we used to do?" They will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent.
Footnotes
1 - The fulfillment of what is promised in the Qur’ān.
Are they waiting - they are not waiting - for anything but its fulfilment, the consequences of what is in it? On the day when its fulfilment comes, which will be [on] the Day of Resurrection, those who were forgetful of it before, [those who] neglected to believe in it, shall say, 'Indeed, our Lord's messengers came with the truth. Have we then any intercessors, that they may intercede for us, or shall we be returned, to the world, that we may act otherwise than we used to act?', [and instead] affirm God's Oneness and refrain from associating others with Him. It will then be said to them, 'No!' God, exalted be He, says: Verily they have lost their souls, for they have ended up in perdition, and that which they used to invent, in alleging [that God has] a partner, has failed, has abandoned, them.
