31. They indeed are losers who deny their meeting with Allah until, when the hour
cometh on them suddenly, they cry: Alas for us, that we neglected it! They bear upon
their back their burdens. Ah, evil is that which they bear!
Yusuf Ali
31. Lost indeed are they who treat it as a falsehood that they must meet Allah until
on a sudden the hour is on them and they say: "Ah! woe unto us that we took no thought
of it"; for they bear their burdens on their backs; and evil indeed are the burdens
that they bear!.
M.Pickthall
32. Naught is the life of the world save a pastime and a sport. Better far is the
abode of the Hereafter for those who keep their duty (to Allah). Have ye then no sense?
Yusuf Ali

in the Hereafter for those who are righteous. Will ye not then understand?

(Muhammad) but evil-doers flout the revelations of Allah.
Yusuf Ali

reject: it is the Signs of Allah which the wicked contemn.
M.Pickthall
34. Messengers indeed have been denied before thee, and they were patient under the
denial and the persecution till Our succour reached them. There is none to alter
the decisions of Allah. Already there hath reached thee (somewhat) of the tidings
of the messengers (We sent before).
Yusuf Ali
34. Rejected were the Apostles before thee: with patience and constancy they bore
their rejection and their wrongs until Our aid did reach them: there is none that
can alter the Words (and Decrees) of Allah. Already hast thou received some account
of those Apostles.
M.Pickthall
35. And if their aversion is grievous unto thee, then, if thou canst, seek a way
down into the earth or a ladder unto the sky that thou mayst bring unto them a
portent (to convince them all)! If Allah willed, He could have brought them all
together to the guidance So be not thou among the foolish ones.
Yusuf Ali
35. If their spurning is hard on thy mind yet if thou wert able to seek a tunnel
in the ground or a ladder to the skies and bring them a Sign (what good?). If it
were Allah's will He could gather them together unto true guidance: so be not thou
amongst those who are swayed by ignorance (and impatience)!
M.Pickthall
36. Only those can accept who hear. As for the dead, Allah will raise them up;
then unto Him they will be returned.
Yusuf Ali
36. Those who listen (in truth) be sure will accept: as to the dead Allah will
raise them up: then will they be turned unto Him.
