M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

Allah will by no means fail in His promise, and surely a day with your Lord is as a thousand years of what you number.

48. And how many a town to which I gave respite while it was unjust, then I overtook it, and to Me is the return.

Section 7

49. Say: O people! I am only a plain warner to you.

50. Then (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have forgiveness and an honourable sustenance.

51. And (as for) those who strive to oppose Our communications, they shall be the inmates of the flaming fire.

52. And We did not send before you any apostle or prophet, but when he desired, the Shaitan made a suggestion respecting his desire; but Allah annuls that which the Shaitan casts, then does Allah establish His communications, and Allah is Knowing, Wise,

53. So that He may make what the Shaitan casts a trial
