Of Righteousness and has Faith,—
His endeavour will not
Be rejected: We shall
Record it in his favour.

On any population which

Shall not return,

Are let through (their barrier),
And they swiftly swarm
From every hill.

97. Waiqtaraba alwaAAdu alhaqqu fa-itha hiya shakhisatun absaru allatheena kafaroo ya waylana qad kunna fee ghaflatin min hatha bal kunna thalimeena

97. Then will the True Promise
Draw nigh (of fulfilment):
Then behold! the eyes
Of the Unbelievers will
Fixedly stare in horror: "Ah!
Woe to us! we were indeed
Heedless of this; nay, we
Truly did wrong!"

98. Innakum wama taAAbudoona min dooni Allahi hasabu jahannama antum laha waridoona

And the (false) gods that
Ye worship besides God,
Are (but) fuel for Hell!
To it will ye (surely) come!

99. Law kana haola-i alihatan ma waradooha wakullun feeha khalidoona

They would not have got there!
But each one will abide
Therein.

Their lot, nor will they
There hear (aught else).

The Good (Record) from Us
Has gone before, will be
Removed far therefrom.

102. La yasmaAAoona haseesaha wahum fee ma ishtahat anfusuhum khalidoona

102. Not the slightest sound
Will they hear of Hell:
What their souls desired,
In that will they dwell.

103. La yahzunuhumu alfazaAAu al-akbaru watatalaqqahumu almala-ikatu hatha yawmukumu allathee kuntum tooAAadoona

Bring them no grief:
But the angels will meet them
(With mutual greetings):
"This is your Day,—
(The Day) that ye were promised."

104. Yawma natwee alssamaa katayyi alssijlli lilkutubi kama bada/na awwala khalqin nuAAeeduhu waAAdan AAalayna inna kunna faAAileena

104. The Day that We roll up
The heavens like a scroll
Rolled up for books (completed),—
Even as We produced
The first Creation, so
Shall We produce
A new one: a promise
We have undertaken:
Truly shall We fulfil it.

105. Walaqad katabna fee alzzaboori min baAAdi alththikri anna al-arda yarithuha AAibadiya alssalihoona

In the Psalms, after the Message
(Given to Moses): "My servants,
The righteous, shall inherit
The earth."

As a Mercy for all creatures.

By inspiration is that
Your God is One God:
Will ye therefore bow
To His Will (in Islām)?"

109. Fa-in tawallaw faqul athantukum AAala sawa-in wa-in adree aqareebun am baAAeedun ma tooAAadoona

109. But if they turn back,
Say: "I have proclaimed
The Message to you all alike
And in truth; but I
Know not whether that
Which ye are promised
Is near or far.

110. Innahu yaAAlamu aljahra mina alqawli wayaAAlamu ma taktumoona

What is open in speech
And what ye hide
(In your hearts).

111. Wa-in adree laAAallahu fitnatun lakum wamataAAun ila heenin

111. "I know not but that
It may be a trial
For you, and a grant
Of (worldly) livelihood
(To you) for a time."

Is the One Whose assistance
Should be sought against
The blasphemies ye utter!
