Al-A'raf - The Heights

الأعراف
Verse 41

لَهُم مِن جَهَنَّمَ مِهادٌ وَمِن فَوقِهِم غَواشٍ ۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجزِي الظّالِمينَ

For them will be beds in Hell, and from over them will be coverings. Thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.

Verse 42

وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ لا نُكَلِّفُ نَفسًا إِلّا وُسعَها أُولـٰئِكَ أَصحابُ الجَنَّةِ ۖ هُم فيها خالِدونَ

As for those who believe and live righteously—We don’t burden any soul beyond its scope—these are the inhabitants of Paradise, where they will reside forever.

Verse 43

وَنَزَعنا ما في صُدورِهِم مِن غِلٍّ تَجري مِن تَحتِهِمُ الأَنهارُ ۖ وَقالُوا الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذي هَدانا لِهـٰذا وَما كُنّا لِنَهتَدِيَ لَولا أَن هَدانَا اللَّهُ ۖ لَقَد جاءَت رُسُلُ رَبِّنا بِالحَقِّ ۖ وَنودوا أَن تِلكُمُ الجَنَّةُ أورِثتُموها بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

We will remove any ill feeling from their hearts, beneath them rivers will flow, and they will exclaim, “Praise be to God, who guided us to this. Had God not guided us, we wouldn’t have been guided. The messengers of our Lord truly brought the truth.” And they will be called, “This is the Paradise which you are made to inherit because of what you used to do.”

Verse 44

وَنادىٰ أَصحابُ الجَنَّةِ أَصحابَ النّارِ أَن قَد وَجَدنا ما وَعَدَنا رَبُّنا حَقًّا فَهَل وَجَدتُم ما وَعَدَ رَبُّكُم حَقًّا ۖ قالوا نَعَم ۚ فَأَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ بَينَهُم أَن لَعنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الظّالِمينَ

The inhabitants of Paradise will call out to the inhabitants of the Fire, “We found what our Lord promised us to be true; did you find your Lord’s promise to be true?” They will answer, “Yes.” An announcer between them will proclaim, “The curse of God is upon the wrongdoers.

Verse 45

الَّذينَ يَصُدّونَ عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ وَيَبغونَها عِوَجًا وَهُم بِالآخِرَةِ كافِرونَ

Those who obstructed God’s path, sought to make it crooked, and denied the Hereafter.”

وَبَينَهُما حِجابٌ ۚ وَعَلَى الأَعرافِ رِجالٌ يَعرِفونَ كُلًّا بِسيماهُم ۚ وَنادَوا أَصحابَ الجَنَّةِ أَن سَلامٌ عَلَيكُم ۚ لَم يَدخُلوها وَهُم يَطمَعونَ

Between them is a partition, and on the Heights are men who recognize everyone by their marks. They will call out to the residents of Paradise, “Peace be upon you.” They haven’t yet entered it, but they hope to.

Verse 47

وَإِذا صُرِفَت أَبصارُهُم تِلقاءَ أَصحابِ النّارِ قالوا رَبَّنا لا تَجعَلنا مَعَ القَومِ الظّالِمينَ

And when their gaze is directed towards the dwellers of the Fire, they will say, “Our Lord, don’t place us with the wrongdoers.”

Verse 48

وَنادىٰ أَصحابُ الأَعرافِ رِجالًا يَعرِفونَهُم بِسيماهُم قالوا ما أَغنىٰ عَنكُم جَمعُكُم وَما كُنتُم تَستَكبِرونَ

The people on the Heights will call out to men they recognize by their features, saying, “Your hoardings availed you nothing, nor did your arrogance.

Verse 49

أَهـٰؤُلاءِ الَّذينَ أَقسَمتُم لا يَنالُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِرَحمَةٍ ۚ ادخُلُوا الجَنَّةَ لا خَوفٌ عَلَيكُم وَلا أَنتُم تَحزَنونَ

Are these the ones you swore God would never touch with mercy?” “Enter Paradise; there is no fear for you, nor will you grieve.”

Verse 50

وَنادىٰ أَصحابُ النّارِ أَصحابَ الجَنَّةِ أَن أَفيضوا عَلَينا مِنَ الماءِ أَو مِمّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ قالوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَهُما عَلَى الكافِرينَ

The dwellers of the Fire will plead with the dwellers of Paradise, “Pour some water over us, or with some of what God has provided you with.” They will reply, “God prohibited them to the unbelievers.”

Verse 51

الَّذينَ اتَّخَذوا دينَهُم لَهوًا وَلَعِبًا وَغَرَّتهُمُ الحَياةُ الدُّنيا ۚ فَاليَومَ نَنساهُم كَما نَسوا لِقاءَ يَومِهِم هـٰذا وَما كانوا بِآياتِنا يَجحَدونَ

Those who treated their religion as a pastime and amusement, and whom the worldly life deceived. Today, We will neglect them, as they neglected the meeting of this Day and denied Our signs.
