The Day the Caller Calls

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَيۡءࣲ نُّكُرٍ ۝٦

So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) on the day when the Summoner summoneth unto a painful thing.

Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

So leave them; the Day the Caller calls to something terrible.

Insight

Prepare for the Hereafter instead of idle arguments.
