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

Bring your proof if you are truthful.

65. Say: No one in the heavens and the earth knows the unseen but Allah; and they do not know when they shall be raised.

66. Nay, their knowledge respecting the hereafter is slight and hasty; nay, they are in doubt about it; nay, they are quite blind to it.

Section 6

67. And those who disbelieve say: What! when we have become dust and our fathers (too), shall we certainly be brought forth?

68. We have certainly been promised this, we and our fathers before; these are naught but stories of the ancients.

69. Say: Travel in the earth, then see how was the end of the guilty.

70. And grieve not for them and be not distressed because of what they plan.

71. And they say: When will this threat come to pass, if you are truthful?

72. Say: Maybe there may have drawn near to you
