They shall say, `Yea !' Then a proclaimer shall proclaim between them, saying, `The curse of ALLAH is on the wrongdoers - 45. `Who hinder men from the path of ALLAH and seek to make it crooked and who are disbelievers in the hereafter.' 46. And between the two there shall be a partition, and on the Elevated Places in Heaven there shall be men who will know all by their marks. And they will call out to the people of Heaven, `Peace be on you.' These will not have yet entered it although they will be hoping to do so. 47. And when their eyes are turned towards the companions of the Fire, they will say, `Our Lord, place us not with the wrongdoing people.' 48. And the occupants of the Elevated Places will call out to men, whom they will know by their marks, and say, `Your numbers availed you not, nor your arrogance. 49. `Are these the men about whom you swore that ALLAH would not extend mercy to them ?' To them God will say, `Enter Paradise; no fear shall come upon you, nor shall you grieve.' 50. And the inmates of the Fire will call out to the inmates of Heaven. `Pour out on us some water or some of that which ALLAH has provided for you.' They will say, `Verily, ALLAH has forbidden them both to disbelievers, 51. Those who took their religion for a pastime and a sport, and whom the life of the world has beguiled.' This day, then, shall WE forget them as they forgot the meeting of this day of theirs, and as they persisted in denying OUR Signs. |
