sinners dismayed at that which is inscribed in it. They shall say: 'Woe

will wrong no one.

earth, nor at their own creation; nor was I to take those who mislead as
helpers.
One day, He will say: 'Call on those whom you claimed to be My
partners.' They will invoke them, but receive no answer; for We shall
place a deadly gulf between them. And when the sinners behold the
fire of Hell, they will know it is there they shall be flung. They shall
find no escape from it.
In this Quran, We have set forth for men all manner of parables. But
man is inmost things contentious.
