078.038 Y: The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and He will say what is right.

P: On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right.

S: The day on which the spirit and the angels shall stand in ranks; they shall not speak except he whom the Beneficent Allah permits and who speaks the right thing.

078.039 Y: That Day will be the sure Reality: Therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) return to his Lord!

P: That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord.

S: That is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord.

078.040 Y: Verily, We have warned you of a Penalty near, the Day when man will see (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the Unbeliever will say, "Woe unto me! Would that I were (mere) dust!"

P: Lo! We warn you of a doom at hand, a day whereon a man will look on that which his own hands have sent before, and the disbeliever will cry: "Would that I were dust!"

S: Surely We have warned you of a chastis.e.m.e.nt near at hand: the day when man shall see what his two hands have sent before, and the unbeliever shall say: O! would that I were dust!
