A numerical document.

الَّذينَ يُكَذِّبونَ بِيَومِ الدّينِ

Those who deny Judgement Day.

وَما يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلّا كُلُّ مُعتَدٍ أَثيمٍ

كَلّا ۖ بَل ۜ رانَ عَلىٰ قُلوبِهِم ما كانوا يَكسِبونَ

كَلّا إِنَّهُم عَن رَبِّهِم يَومَئِذٍ لَمَحجوبونَ

Surely, on that Day, they will be veiled from their Lord.
