42. Sura ash-Shura

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

اسْتَجِيبُوا لِرَبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ...

42: 47. Hearken ye to your Lord, before there come a Day which there will be no putting back, because of (the ordainment of) Allah!

C4591. The Day of Judgment is inevitable. Allah has ordained it, and it cannot in any way be put back.

...مَا لَكُم مِّن مَّلْجَأٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّكِيرٍ ﴿٤٧﴾

That Day there will be for you no place of refuge nor will there be for you any room for denial (of your sins)!

C4592. At Judgment no one can escape the consequences of his crimes or deeds. And no one can disavow them or deny them, or by any chance pretend that they do not apply to him.

Asad’s version

42:47 [Hence, O men,] respond to your Sustainer before there comes, at God's behest, 47 a Day on which there will be no turning back: [for] on that Day you will have no place of refuge, and neither will you be able to deny aught [of the wrong that you have done] .
