56 Preface وَقالَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا العِلمَ وَالإيمانَ لَقَد لَبِثتُم في كِتابِ اللَّهِ إِلىٰ يَومِ البَعثِ ۖ فَهٰذا يَومُ البَعثِ وَلٰكِنَّكُم كُنتُم لا تَعلَمونَYusuf AliBut those endued with knowledge and faith will say: “Indeed ye did tarry, within God’s Decree, to the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day1 of Resurrection: but ye - ye were not aware!”The men of knowledge and faith knew all along of the true values-of the things of this ephemeral life and the things that will endure and face them at the End-unlike the wrongdoers who were content with falsehoods and were taken by surprise, like ignorant men, when they faced the Realities.
