And they call (it) a lie, and follow their low desires; and every affair has its appointed term.

And they ask you to hasten on the chastisement; and had not a term been appointed, the chastisement would certainly have come to them; and most certainly it will come to them all of a sudden while they will not perceive.

Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation.

And we used to call the day of judgment a lie; / Till death overtook us.

And We have appointed for them comrades so they have made fair-seeming to them what is before them and what is behind them, and the word proved true against them-- among the nations of the jinn and the men that have passed away before them-- that they shall surely be losers.

That rolls to its appointed end.
