Surah 82. Al-Infitar, Ayah 9
| كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ |
| Asad | : | Nay, [O men,] but you [are lured away from God whenever you are tempted to] give the lie to [God's] Judgment!6 |
| Malik | : | Nay! In fact you deny the Day of Judgement! |
| Pickthall | : | Nay, but they deny the Judgment. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Nay! but ye do Reject Right and Judgment! 6006 |
| Transliteration | : | Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni |
Note - 6In view of the fact that the whole of this passage is
addressed to "man" or "men" in general, and not merely to
deniers of the truth, I believe that the expression "you
give the lie" does not, in this context, necessarily
imply a conscious denial of God's ultimate judgment but,
rather, a tendency inherent in most human beings to close
one's mind - occasionally or permanently, as the ease may
be - to the prospect of having to answer before God for
one's doings: hence my rendering, "you are tempted to
give the lie".

Note - 6006The goodness and mercies of Allah, and His constant
watchful care of all His creatures should make men
grateful, instead of which they turn away from the Right
and deny the Day of Sorting Out, the Day when every
action performed here will find its fulfilment in just
reward or punishment.
