23:96
enough to let you see that which they are promised.
Repel evil with good. We are fully aware of all (the slanders) they
utter. And say: 'Lord, I seek refuge inYou from the promptings of the
devils. Lord, I seek refuge inYou from their presence.'
Until when death comes to a wrongdoer, he will say: 'Lord, let me
go back, that I may do goodworks in the world I have left behind.'
Never! It is only a word which he will speak. Behind them there
shall stand a barrier till the Day of Resurrection. And when the
Trumpet is sounded, on that day their ties of kindred shall be nomore,
nor will one ask after another.
Those whose scales are heavy shall triumph, but those whose scales
are light shall forfeit their souls and abide in Hell for ever. Its flames
will scorch their faces and they will writhe with pain with their lips
apart.
(We shall say): 'WereMy revelations not recited to you, and did you
not deny them? '
'Lord,' they will reply, 'misfortune overcame us and we went astray.
Lord, deliver us fromHell, If we return to sin, then we shall indeed be
wickedmen.'
He will say: 'Stay there in shame and do not plead with Me. Among
My servants there were those who said: “Lord, we believe in You.
Forgive us and have mercy on us: You are the Best of the merciful.”
But you derided them until they caused you to forget My warning.
You laughed at them. Today I shall reward them for their fortitude,
for it is theywho have triumphed.'
