P:  We shall show them Our portents on the horizons and within themselves until it will be manifest unto them that it is the Truth.  Doth not thy Lord suffice, since He is Witness over all things?

S:  We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own souls, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth.  Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things?

041.054 Y:  Ah indeed!  Are they in doubt concerning the Meeting with their Lord?  Ah indeed!  It is He that doth encompass all things!

P:  How!  Are they still in doubt about the meeting with their Lord?  Lo!  Is not He surrounding all things?

S:  Now surely they are in doubt as to the meeting of their Lord; now surely He encompasses all things.
