And they call (it) a lie, and follow their low desires; and every affair has its appointed term.

So turn (your) back on them (for) the day when the inviter shall invite them to a hard task,

Hastening to the inviter. The unbelievers shall say: This is a hard day.

Therefore he called upon his Lord: I am overcome, come Thou then to help.
