S:  (Of) the day when they shall come forth, nothing concerning them remains hidden to Allah.  To whom belongs the kingdom this day?  To Allah, the One, the Subduer (of all).

040.017 Y:  That Day will every soul be requited for what it earned; no injustice will there be that Day, for Allah is Swift in taking account.

P:  This day is each soul requited that which it hath earned; no wrong (is done) this day.  Lo!  Allah is swift at reckoning.

S:  This day every soul shall be rewarded for what it has earned; no injustice (shall be done) this day; surely Allah is quick in reckoning.

040.018 Y:  Warn them of the Day that is (ever) drawing near, when the hearts will (come) right up to the throats to choke (them); No intimate friend nor intercessor will the wrong-doers have, who could be listened to.

P:  Warn them (O Muhammad) of the Day of the approaching (doom), when the hearts will be choking the throats, (when) there will be no friend for the wrong-doers, nor any intercessor who will be heard.

S:  And warn them of the day that draws near, when hearts shall rise up to the throats, grieving inwardly; the unjust shall not have any compassionate friend nor any intercessor who should be obeyed.

040.019 Y:  (Allah) knows of (the tricks) that deceive with the eyes, and all that the hearts (of men) conceal.

P:  He knoweth the traitor of the eyes, and that which the bosoms hide.

S:  He knows the stealthy looks and that which the breasts conceal.

040.020 Y:  And Allah will judge with (justice and) Truth:  but those whom (men) invoke besides Him, will not (be in a position) to judge at all.  Verily it is Allah (alone) Who hears and sees (all things).

P:  Allah judgeth with truth, while those to whom they cry instead of Him judge not at all.  Lo!  Allah, He is the Hearer, the Seer.

S:  And Allah judges with the truth; and those whom they call upon besides Him cannot judge aught; surely Allah is the Hearing, the Seeing.

040.021 Y:  Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them?  They were even superior to them in strength, and in the traces (they have left) in the land:  but Allah did call them to account for their sins, and none had they to defend them against Allah.

P:  Have they not travelled in the land to see the nature of the consequence for those who disbelieved before them?  They were mightier than these in power and (in the) traces (which they left behind them) in the earth.  Yet Allah seized them for their sins, and they had no protector from Allah.

S:  Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the end of those who were before them?  Mightier than these were they in strength—­ and in fortifications in the land, but Allah destroyed them for their sins; and there was not for them any defender against Allah.

040.022 Y:  That was because there came to them their messengers with Clear (Signs), but they rejected them:  So Allah called them to account:  for He is Full of Strength, Strict in Punishment.
