Al-Furqan 25:14

Al-Furqan - The Criterion

الفرقان

لا تَدعُوا اليَومَ ثُبورًا واحِدًا وَادعوا ثُبورًا كَثيرًا

“Don’t plead for a single annihilation today, but plead for many annihilations.”

Verse 15

قُل أَذٰلِكَ خَيرٌ أَم جَنَّةُ الخُلدِ الَّتي وُعِدَ المُتَّقونَ ۚ كانَت لَهُم جَزاءً وَمَصيرًا

Say, “Is that better, or the Eternal Garden, which is promised to the righteous?” It will be their reward and final destination.

Verse 16

لَهُم فيها ما يَشاءونَ خالِدينَ ۚ كانَ عَلىٰ رَبِّكَ وَعدًا مَسئولًا

There, they will have all they desire, forever. This is a promise binding upon your Lord.

Verse 17

وَيَومَ يَحشُرُهُم وَما يَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ فَيَقولُ أَأَنتُم أَضلَلتُم عِبادي هـٰؤُلاءِ أَم هُم ضَلُّوا السَّبيلَ

On the Day He gathers them and whatever they worshiped besides God, He will ask, “Was it you who misled these servants of Mine, or did they stray from the path themselves?”

Verse 18

قالوا سُبحانَكَ ما كانَ يَنبَغي لَنا أَن نَتَّخِذَ مِن دونِكَ مِن أَولِياءَ وَلـٰكِن مَتَّعتَهُم وَآباءَهُم حَتّىٰ نَسُوا الذِّكرَ وَكانوا قَومًا بورًا

They will respond, “Glory be to You! It wasn’t for us to take any allies besides You. You gave them and their ancestors pleasures, until they forgot the Remembrance and became a ruined people.”

Verse 19

فَقَد كَذَّبوكُم بِما تَقولونَ فَما تَستَطيعونَ صَرفًا وَلا نَصرًا ۚ وَمَن يَظلِم مِنكُم نُذِقهُ عَذابًا كَبيرًا

Thus, they will deny you because of what you say, and you won’t be able to avert or help. Whoever among you commits wrongdoing, We will make him taste a severe punishment.
