⁵⁰ There had said it those before them; but there availed them not what they earned,

⁵¹ And the evil deeds¹ they earned befell them. And those who do wrong among these² — there will befall them the evil deeds³ of what they have earned; and they will not escape.⁴

⁵² Know they not that God expands provision for whom He wills, and He straitens? In that are proofs¹ for people who believe.

⁵³ Say thou: “O My servants who have committed excess against their souls: despair not of the mercy of God! God forgives transgressions¹ altogether,² — He is the Forgiving, the Merciful —

⁵⁴ “And turn in repentance to your Lord, and submit to Him before there comes to you the punishment; then will you not be helped.”

⁵⁵ And follow the best of what is sent down to you from your Lord, before the punishment comes upon you unexpectedly when you perceive not

⁵⁶ Lest a soul say: “Oh, my regret over what I neglected in what was due to God, and was of those who deride!”

⁵⁷ Or it say: “Had God guided me, I would have been among those of prudent fear.”¹

⁵⁸ Or it say when it sees the punishment: “Would that I had returned, that I might be of the doers of good.”

⁵⁹ “Verily,¹ My proofs² came to thee, but thou didst deny them, and waxedst proud, and wast among the false claimers of guidance.”³

⁶⁰ And on the Day of Resurrection, thou wilt see those who lied against God, their faces blackened; is then there not¹ in Gehenna a home for the proud?

⁶¹ And God will deliver those who were in prudent fear¹ by² their attainments; evil will not touch them, nor will they grieve.

⁶² God is the creator of all things; and He is guardian over all things.

⁶³ To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And those who deny the proofs¹ of God, it is they who are the losers.

⁶⁴ (Say thou: “Is it other than God you command me to serve, O you who are ignorant?”

⁶⁵ And it has been revealed¹ to thee and to those before thee: “If thou ascribe a partnership,² thy deeds will be made vain, and thou wilt be among the losers.”

⁶⁶ Nay,¹ but God shalt thou serve; and be thou among the grateful.)

⁶⁷ And they measured God not with the measure due¹ Him. And the earth altogether will be His handful on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded up in His right hand. Glory² be to Him! And exalted is He above that to which they ascribe a partnership!³

⁶⁸ And the Trumpet will be blown, and whoso is in the heavens and whoso is in the earth will fall down thunderstruck¹ save whom God wills. Then will it be blown again; and then will they be standing, looking on.

⁶⁹ And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord; and the Writ¹ will be set up, and the prophets and the witnesses will be brought, and it will be concluded between them with justice,² and they will not be wronged.

⁷⁰ And every soul will be paid in full for what it did; and He best knows what they do.

⁷¹ And those who ignore warning¹ will be driven into Gehenna in companies. When² they have come to it, the gates thereof will be opened, and the keepers thereof will say to them: “Came there not to you messengers from among you, reciting to you the proofs³ of your Lord, and warning you of the meeting of this day of yours?” They will say: “Verily.”⁴ But the word of punishment is binding⁵ upon the false claimers of guidance.⁶

⁷² It will be said: “Enter the gates of Gehenna, abiding eternally therein”; and evil is the dwelling of the proud.

⁷³ And those who were in prudent fear¹ of their Lord will be driven towards the Garden in companies. When² they have come to it and the gates thereof have been opened[...].³ And the keepers thereof will say to them: “Peace be upon you! You did well; so enter it,⁴ abiding eternally.”

⁷⁴ And they will say: “Praise belongs to God who has fulfilled for us His promise and made us inherit the earth — we may settle in the Garden wheresoever we will!” And excellent is the reward of the workers!

⁷⁵ And thou wilt see the angels surrounding the Throne, glorifying¹ with the praise of their Lord; and it will be decided between them with justice;² and it will be said: “Praise belongs to God, the Lord of All Creation!”
