40:12
Nuh denied Our revelations, and so did the factions after them. Every
nation strove to kill their apostle, seeking with false arguments to
refute the truth; but when I smote them, how stern was My punishment'
Thus the word of your Lord shall be fulfilled concerning the
unbelievers: they are the people of Hell.
Those who bear the Throne and those who stand around it give
glory to their Lord and believe in Him. They implore forgiveness for
the faithful (saying): 'Lord, You embrace all things in mercy and
knowledge. Forgive those that repent and follow Your path. Shield
them from the scourge of Hell. Admit them, Lord, to the gardens of
Eden which You have promised them, together with all the righteous
among their fathers, their wives, and their descendants. You are the
Almighty, theWise One. Deliver them from all evil. He whomYou will
deliver from evil on that day will surely earn Your mercy. That is the
supreme triumph.’
But to the unbelievers a voice will cry: 'Allah's abhorrence of you is
greater than your hatred of yourselves.You were called to the Faith, but
you denied it.'
They shall say: 'Lord, twice You have made us die. and twice You
have given us life.We now confess our sins. Is there noway out of this?'
(They shall be answered): 'You have incurred this fate because
when Allah was invoked alone, you disbelieved; but when you were
bidden to serve other gods besides Him you believed in them. (Today)
judgement rests withAllah, theMost High, the Supreme One.'
