. . . O ignorant ones, . . .

. . . . . O ignorant ones, you have left the door of the Wealthy One [al-Ghani] and attached yourselves to the door of the indigent pauper. You have left the door of the Noble One [al-Karim] and attached yourselves to the door of the ignoble scoundrel. You have left the door of the All-Capable One [al-Qadir] and attached yourselves to the door of someone who is quite incompetent. O you who are so ignorant about Him, the time is not far off when He will gather all of you together in His presence [on the Day of Resurrection].He will make you stand before Him on that day, the Day of the Assembly [Yawm al-Jam], in order to group you according to the various categories to which you belong. O all you creatures! Allah, Almighty and Glorious is he, has said:This is the Day of Decision. We have assembled you together with the people of ancient times, so if you have a trick to play, try now to trick ME! (77:38.39). . . . . .
