قالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرني إِلىٰ يَومِ يُبعَثونَ

He pleaded, “My Lord, delay me until the Day they’re resurrected.”

قالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ المُنظَرينَ

He responded, “You are granted delay.

إِلىٰ يَومِ الوَقتِ المَعلومِ

Until the appointed day and time.”

قالَ رَبِّ بِما أَغوَيتَني لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُم فِي الأَرضِ وَلَأُغوِيَنَّهُم أَجمَعينَ

“Lord,” he declared, “since you have lured me away, I will glamorize for them on earth, and I will lure them all away.”

إِلّا عِبادَكَ مِنهُمُ المُخلَصينَ

Except for Your chosen servants among them.”

إِنَّ عِبادي لَيسَ لَكَ عَلَيهِم سُلطانٌ إِلّا مَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الغاوينَ

You have no sway over My devotees, except those who follow you of the deviators.

وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوعِدُهُم أَجمَعينَ

And hell is promised to them all.

لَها سَبعَةُ أَبوابٍ لِكُلِّ بابٍ مِنهُم جُزءٌ مَقسومٌ

It has seven gates. For every gate, there is a designated portion of them.

إِنَّ المُتَّقينَ في جَنّاتٍ وَعُيونٍ

The righteous will be in gardens and springs.”

ادخُلوها بِسَلامٍ آمِنينَ

“Enter it in peace, securely.”
