یَوۡمَ یَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةُ صَفࣰّاۖ لَّا یَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابࣰا

The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.

إِنَّاۤ أَنذَرۡنَـٰكُمۡ عَذَابࣰا قَرِیبࣰا یَوۡمَ یَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ یَدَاهُ وَیَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ یَـٰلَیۡتَنِی كُنتُ تُرَ ٰ⁠بَۢا

Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
