40. And during part of the night, (also,) celebrate His praises, and (so likewise) after the postures of adoration.

41. And listen for the Day when the Caller will call out from a place quiet near,-

42. The Day when they will hear a (mighty) Blast in (very) truth: that will be the Day of Resurrection.

44. The Day when the Earth will be rent asunder, from (men) hurrying out: that will be a gathering together,- quite easy for Us.

45. We know best what they say; and thou art not one to overawe them by force. So admonish with the Qur'an such as fear My Warning!
