(* 300 according to the Solar calendar and 309 according to the Lunar calendar.) 25 You say: "God only knows how long they stayed. He alone knows the secrets of the heavens and the earth.

Apart from Him, thou wilt find no refuge. 27 And restrain yourself along with those who pray to their Lord morning and evening, seeking His pleasure; and may not your sight fall on anything besides them; would you desire the adornment of the life of this world?

They will rest on soft couches, decked with bracelets of gold and clothed in green silk garments and shining brocade. How blissful is such a reward and resting place! 31
