الَّذي جَعَلَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلـٰهًا آخَرَ فَأَلقِياهُ فِي العَذابِ الشَّديدِ
Who set up another god alongside God, so throw him into severe suffering.”
قالَ قَرينُهُ رَبَّنا ما أَطغَيتُهُ وَلـٰكِن كانَ في ضَلالٍ بَعيدٍ
His attendant will say, “Our Lord, I didn’t make him transgress, but he was far astray.”
قالَ لا تَختَصِموا لَدَيَّ وَقَد قَدَّمتُ إِلَيكُم بِالوَعيدِ
He will say, “Don’t feud in my presence—I had already given you the warning.
ما يُبَدَّلُ القَولُ لَدَيَّ وَما أَنا بِظَلّامٍ لِلعَبيدِ
My word cannot be changed, and I am not unjust to the beings.”
يَومَ نَقولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ امتَلَأتِ وَتَقولُ هَل مِن مَزيدٍ
On that Day, We will ask Hell, “Are you filled?” And it will reply, “Are there still more?”
وَأُزلِفَتِ الجَنَّةُ لِلمُتَّقينَ غَيرَ بَعيدٍ
And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far away.
هـٰذا ما توعَدونَ لِكُلِّ أَوّابٍ حَفيظٍ
“This is what you were promised—for every penitent preserver.
مَن خَشِيَ الرَّحمـٰنَ بِالغَيبِ وَجاءَ بِقَلبٍ مُنيبٍ
Who revered the Most Merciful in secret and came with a repentant heart.
ادخُلوها بِسَلامٍ ۖ ذٰلِكَ يَومُ الخُلودِ
Enter it in peace and security. This is the Day of Eternity.”
لَهُم ما يَشاءونَ فيها وَلَدَينا مَزيدٌ
For them there is whatever they wish therein, and with Us is even more.
وَكَم أَهلَكنا قَبلَهُم مِن قَرنٍ هُم أَشَدُّ مِنهُم بَطشًا فَنَقَّبوا فِي البِلادِ هَل مِن مَحيصٍ
How many generations, stronger than them, did We destroy before them? They explored the lands—was there any escape?
