18 Preface وَأَنذِرهُم يَومَ الآزِفَةِ إِذِ القُلوبُ لَدَى الحَناجِرِ كاظِمينَ ۚ ما لِلظّالِمينَ مِن حَميمٍ وَلا شَفيعٍ يُطاعُAli Quli QaraiWarn them of the Imminent Day1 when the hearts will be at the throats, choking with suppressed agony, [and] the wrongdoers will have no sympathizer, nor any intercessor who might be heard. Cf. ‘the Imminent [Hour]’ (53:57).
