يَا مَعْشَرَ
الْجِنِّ
وَالْإِنسِ
أَلَمْ
يَأْتِكُمْ
رُسُلٌ
مِّنكُمْ
يَقُصُّونَ
عَلَيْكُمْ
آيَاتِي
وَيُنذِرُونَكُمْ
لِقَاءَ
يَوْمِكُمْ
هَذَا
قَالُوا
شَهِدْنَا
عَلَى
أَنفُسِنَا
وَغَرَّتْهُمُ
الْحَيَاةُ
الدُّنْيَا
وَشَهِدُوا
عَلَى
أَنفُسِهِمْ
أَنَّهُمْ
كَانُوا
كَافِرِينَ

"O ye assembly of Jinns and men! came there not unto you messengers from amongst you, setting forth unto you My signs, and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived them. So against themselves will they bear witness that they rejected Faith.
— Abdullah Yusufali
‘O company of jinn and humans! Did there not come to you apostles from yourselves, recounting to you My signs and warning you of the encounter of this Day?’ They will say, ‘We testify against ourselves.’ The life of this world had deceived them, and they will testify against themselves that they had been faithless.
