أَلَمْ
يَأْنِ
لِلَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
أَن
تَخْشَعَ
قُلُوبُهُمْ
لِذِكْرِ
اللَّهِ

نَزَلَ
مِنَ
الْحَقِّ
وَلَا
يَكُونُوا
كَالَّذِينَ
أُوتُوا
الْكِتَابَ
مِن
قَبْلُ
فَطَالَ
عَلَيْهِمُ
الْأَمَدُ
فَقَسَتْ
قُلُوبُهُمْ
وَكَثِيرٌ
مِّنْهُمْ
فَاسِقُونَ

Is it not time yet for those who have faith that their hearts should be humbled for Allah’s remembrance and toward the truth which has come down [to them], and to be not like those who were given the Book before? Time took its toll on them and so their hearts were hardened, and many of them are transgressors.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Has not the Time arrived for the Believers that their hearts in all humility should engage in the remembrance of Allah and of the Truth which has been revealed (to them), and that they should not become like those to whom was given Revelation aforetime, but long ages passed over them and their hearts grew hard? For many among them are rebellious transgressors.
