THE QUR'ÂN.
LV, 33-50.
then pass through them!-ye cannot pass through
save by authority! Then which of your Lord's bounties will ye twain
deny ? [35] There shall be sent against you a flash of fire,
and molten copper, and ye shall not be helped ! Then which of your Lord's bounties will ye twain
deny ? And when the heaven is rent asunder and become
rosy red (melting) like grease ! Then which of your Lord's bounties will ye twain
deny ? On that day neither man nor ginn shall be asked
about his crime! [40] Then which of your Lord's bounties will ye
twain deny ? The sinners shall be known by their marks, and
shall be seized by the forelock and the feet! Then which of your Lord's bounties will ye twain
deny ? *This is hell, which the sinners did call a lie! they
shall circulate between it and water boiling quite !' [45] Then which of your Lord's bounties will ye
twain deny ? But for him who fears the station of his Lord are
gardens twain ! Then which of your Lord's bounties will ye twain
deny ? Both furnished with branching trees. Then which of your Lord's bounties will ye twain
deny ? [50] In each are flowing springs.
1 The word is also said to mean red leather.
