h)? Then woe
unto those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah. Such
are in plain error.

S: What! is he whose heart Allah has opened for Islam so that he is in a
light from his Lord (like the hard-hearted)? Nay, woe to those whose
hearts are hard against the remembrance of Allah; those are in clear
error.

Y: Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in
the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its
teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord
tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the
celebration of Allah's praises. Such is the guidance of Allah: He
guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah leaves to stray,
can have none to guide.

P: Allah hath (now) revealed the fairest of statements, a Scripture

punishment), whereat doth creep the flesh of those who fear their Lord,

is Allah's guidance, wherewith He guideth whom He will. And him whom
Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide.

various parts, repeating, whereat do shudder the skins of those who

remembrance of Allah; this is Allah's guidance, He guides with it whom
He pleases; and (as for) him whom Allah makes err, there is no guide
for him.

P: Is he then, who will strike his face against the awful doom upon the
Day of Resurrection (as he who doeth right)? And it will be said unto
the wrong-doers: Taste what ye used to earn.

S: Is he then who has to guard himself with his own person against the
evil chastisement on the resurrection day? And it will be said to the
unjust: Taste what you earned.

Y: Those before them (also) rejected (revelation), and so the Punishment
came to them from directions they did not perceive.

P: Those before them denied, and so the doom came on them whence they
knew not.

S: Those before them rejected (prophets), therefore there came to them
the chastisement from whence they perceived
