32:14
Had it been OurWill, We could have guided every soul. But My word
shall be fulfilled: 'I will fill the pit of Hell with jinn and men all
together.'
(We shall say to them): 'Taste Our punishment for you forgot this
day. We, too, will forget you. Taste Our eternal scourge, which you
have earned by your misdeeds.'
None believes in Our revelations save those who, when reminded
of them, prostrate themselves in adoration and give glory to their Lord
in all humility; who forsake their beds to pray to their Lord in fear and
hope; who give in charity of that which We have bestowed on them.
No mortal knows what bliss is in store for these as a reward for their
labours.
Can he, then, who is a true believer, be compared to himwho is an
evil-doer? Surely they are not alike.
Those that have faith and do good works shall be received in
Gardens of Refuge, as a reward for that which they have done. But
those who do evil shall be cast into the Fire. Whenever they try to get
out of Hell they shall be driven back, and a voice will say to them:
'Taste the torment of Hell-fire, which you have persistently denied.’
But We will inflict on them the lighter punishment (of this world)
before the supreme punishment (of the world to come), so that they
may return (to the right path). And who is more wicked than the man
who gives no heed to the revelations of his Lord when he is reminded
of them?We shall punish the guilty.
We have given the Book to Musa so be not then in doubt of his
