38. people, how much admonition will you be given yet you decline it? How much have the preachers preached to you, the warners warned you, the preventers prevented you and the scholars conveyed [the message] you! The Prophets and Messengers have guided you to the path of salvation, presented their proof and shown you the clear way. So hasten towards good deeds and take advantage of the time [you have in this world], for indeed today there is action without accounting and tomorrow there will be accounting without action, and the wrongdoers will soon know to what final place they will return.

38 يا أيُّهَا النّاسُ إلى كَمْ تُوعَظُونَ ولاتَتَّعِظُونَ؟! فَكَمْ قَدْ وَعَظَكُمْ الواعِظُونَ، وحَذَّرَكُمْ المُحَذِّرُونَ، وزَجَرَكُمْ الزّاجِرُونَ، وبَلَّغَكُمُ العالِمُونَ، وَعَلى سَبيلِ النَّجاةِ دَلَّكُمُ الأنْبياءُ والمُرْسَلُونَ، وأقامُوا عَلَيْكُمُ الحُجَّةَ، وأوْضَحُوا لَكُمُ المَحَجَّةَ، فَبا دِرُوا العَمَلَ، واغْتَنِمُوا المَهَلَ، فَإنَّ اليَوْمَ عَمَلٌ ولاحِسابٌ، وغَداً حِسابٌ ولاعَمَلٌ، وسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذينَ ظَلَمُوا أيَّ مُنْقَلَب يَنْقَِلبُونَ.
