الَّذينَ تَتَوَفّاهُمُ المَلائِكَةُ ظالِمي أَنفُسِهِم ۖ فَأَلقَوُا السَّلَمَ ما كُنّا نَعمَلُ مِن سوءٍ ۚ بَلىٰ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَليمٌ بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

Those whose souls the angels take while they wronged themselves, will offer their submission: “We were not doing any wrong!”. Yet, God has full knowledge of what you used to do.

فَادخُلوا أَبوابَ جَهَنَّمَ خالِدينَ فيها ۖ فَلَبِئسَ مَثوَى المُتَكَبِّرينَ

So, enter the gates of Hell, to reside therein eternally. Horrible is the residence for the arrogant!

وَقيلَ لِلَّذينَ اتَّقَوا ماذا أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُم ۚ قالوا خَيرًا ۗ لِلَّذينَ أَحسَنوا في هـٰذِهِ الدُّنيا حَسَنَةٌ ۚ وَلَدارُ الآخِرَةِ خَيرٌ ۚ وَلَنِعمَ دارُ المُتَّقينَ

The righteous will be asked, “What did your Lord reveal?” They will reply, “The best.” For those who do good in this life, there is goodness, and the home of the Hereafter is even better. How wonderful is the residence of the righteous!

جَنّاتُ عَدنٍ يَدخُلونَها تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ ۖ لَهُم فيها ما يَشاءونَ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يَجزِي اللَّهُ المُتَّقينَ

They will enter the Gardens of Eternity, beneath which rivers flow. Therein, they will have all that they wish for. Thus does God reward the righteous.

الَّذينَ تَتَوَفّاهُمُ المَلائِكَةُ طَيِّبينَ ۙ يَقولونَ سَلامٌ عَلَيكُمُ ادخُلُوا الجَنَّةَ بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

When the angels receive the souls of the good-natured, they will say, “Peace be upon you. Enter Paradise due to your deeds.”

فَأَصابَهُم سَيِّئَاتُ ما عَمِلوا وَحاقَ بِهِم ما كانوا بِهِ يَستَهزِئونَ

The consequences of their deeds overtook them, and the very things they used to ridicule engulfed them.

وَقالَ الَّذينَ أَشرَكوا لَو شاءَ اللَّهُ ما عَبَدنا مِن دونِهِ مِن شَيءٍ نَحنُ وَلا آباؤُنا وَلا حَرَّمنا مِن دونِهِ مِن شَيءٍ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم ۚ فَهَل عَلَى الرُّسُلِ إِلَّا البَلاغُ المُبينُ

Those who associate others argue, “If God had willed, we wouldn’t have worshiped anything other than Him, neither us nor our ancestors, nor would we have prohibited anything without His sanction.” Those before them did the same. Are the messengers’ duty anything other than the clear conveyance of the message?

وَلَقَد بَعَثنا في كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَسولًا أَنِ اعبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجتَنِبُوا الطّاغوتَ ۖ فَمِنهُم مَن هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمِنهُم مَن حَقَّت عَلَيهِ الضَّلالَةُ ۚ فَسيروا فِي الأَرضِ فَانظُروا كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ المُكَذِّبينَ

We sent a messenger to every community, saying, “Worship God and shun false gods.” Among them were those whom God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So, travel through the earth and observe the end of the deniers.

إِن تَحرِص عَلىٰ هُداهُم فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهدي مَن يُضِلُّ ۖ وَما لَهُم مِن ناصِرينَ

Despite your concern for their guidance, God doesn’t guide those He allows to go astray, and they will have no helpers.

وَأَقسَموا بِاللَّهِ جَهدَ أَيمانِهِم ۙ لا يَبعَثُ اللَّهُ مَن يَموتُ ۚ بَلىٰ وَعدًا عَلَيهِ حَقًّا وَلـٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَ النّاسِ لا يَعلَمونَ

They swear their strongest oaths by God that God won’t resurrect the dead. Yet, it’s absolutely a true promise from Him, though most people don’t know.
