سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Sayaqooloona lill a hi qul afal a ta th akkaroon a
[And] they will reply: "Unto God.Say: "Will you not, then, bethink yourselves [of Him]?"
  - Mohammad Asad
They will promptly reply: "to Allah!" Ask them: "Then why you don't use your common sense and believe in Him?"
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
They will reply, 'To Allah!' Say, 'Why are you not then mindful?'
  - Mustafa Khattab
They will say: Unto Allah. Say: Will ye not then remember?
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
They will say "To Allah!" Say: "Yet will ye not receive admonition?" 2927
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

If their argument is that such things about a future life cannot be known or proved, they are referred to the things which are actually before them. The tangible things of the earth-can they postulate their order or government except by a Power or Force or Energy outside them? They will admit that there is such a Power or Force or Energy. We call it Allah. Go a step further. We see a sublime Universe in the heavens above, stretching far, far beyond our ken. They will admit its existence and its grandeur. We ask them to entertain a feeling of reverence for the Power behind it, and to understand their own littleness and their dependence upon that Power.
