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.”

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

وَلَقَد جِئناهُم بِكِتابٍ فَصَّلناهُ عَلىٰ عِلمٍ هُدًى وَرَحمَةً لِقَومٍ يُؤمِنونَ

We provided them with a Scripture which We detailed with knowledge, a guide and mercy for those who believe.

هَل يَنظُرونَ إِلّا تَأويلَهُ ۚ يَومَ يَأتي تَأويلُهُ يَقولُ الَّذينَ نَسوهُ مِن قَبلُ قَد جاءَت رُسُلُ رَبِّنا بِالحَقِّ فَهَل لَنا مِن شُفَعاءَ فَيَشفَعوا لَنا أَو نُرَدُّ فَنَعمَلَ غَيرَ الَّذي كُنّا نَعمَلُ ۚ قَد خَسِروا أَنفُسَهُم وَضَلَّ عَنهُم ما كانوا يَفتَرونَ

Are they merely waiting for its interpretation? The day its interpretation comes, those who had previously ignored it will say, “Indeed, the messengers of our Lord came with the truth. Do we have any intercessors who will intercede for us now? Or could we be sent back to behave differently?” They have lost their souls, and what they used to invent has failed them.
