Surah Al-A'raaf · Ayah 53·Makkī

53

هَلْ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَدْ فَهَل لَّنَا مِن لَنَآ أَوْ ٱلَّذِى قَدْ عَنْهُم مَّا ﴿٥٣﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

Do they await except its result? 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 we used to do?" They will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent.
