| 98. He will go before his people on the Day of Resurrection and will lead them into the Fire. And evil indeed will be the watering-place arrived at. 99. And they are pursued by a curse in this life and on the Day of Resurrection. Evil is the gift which will be given them. 100. That is part of the tidings of the ruin cities, WE relate it to thee. Of them some are standing and some have been mowed down like the harvest. 101. And WE did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves, and their gods on whom they called instead of ALLAH were of no avail to them at all when the decree of punishment of thy Lord came to pass; and they added to them naught but perdition. 102. Such is the seizure of thy Lord when HE seizes the cities while they are doing wrong. Surely, HIS seizure is grievous and severe. 103. In that surely is a Sign for him who fears the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a day on which all mankind shall be gathered together and that is the day which shall be witnessed by all. 104. And WE delay it not save for a computed term. 105. On the day it comes, no soul shall speak except by HIS permission; then some of them will be unfortunate and other fortunate. 106. As to the unfortunate, they shall be in the Fire, wherein there will be for them sighing and sobbing, 107. Abiding therein, so long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord may will. Surely, thy Lord does what HE pleases. 108. But as for the fortunate, they shall be in Heaven, abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure save as thy Lord may wish - a gift that shall not be cut off. |
