Surah 21. Al-Anbiyaa, Ayah 15
| فَمَا زَالَتْ تِلْكَ دَعْوَاهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلْنَاهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَامِدِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | fa- maa zaalat tilka dacwaa -hum h.attaa jacalnaa -hum h.as.ed(an) khaamiden |
| Pickthall | : | And this their crying ceased not till We made them as reaped corn, extinct. |
| Asad | : | And that cry of theirs did not cease until We caused them to become [like] a field mown down, still and silent as ashes. |
| Malik | : | They kept on repeating that statement till We mowed them down, leaving no spark of life in them. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | And that cry of theirs ceased not till We made them as a field that is mown as ashes silent and quenched. 2675 |
Note - 2675The two similes present two different aspects of the
lamentation of the ungodly. When they really see the
Wrath to come, there is a stampede, but where can they go
to? Their lamentation is now the only mark of their life.
But it dies away, as corn vanishes from a field that is
being mown, or as a dying fire is slowly extinguished!
They do not die. They wish they were dead! (lxxviii. 40).
