That is the supreme triumph.
On that day the hypocrites, both men and women, will say to the true
believers: 'Wait for us that we may borrow some of your light.' But
theywill answer: 'Go back and seek some other light!'
A wall with a gate shall be set before them. Inside there shall be
mercy, and out, to the fore, the scourge (of Hell). They will call out to
them, saying: 'Were we not on your side?' 'Yes,' they will reply, 'but
you tempted yourselves, you wavered, you doubted and were
deceived by your own wishes until Allah's will was done and the
Dissembler tricked you concerning Allah. Today no ransom shall be
accepted from you or from the unbelievers. Hell shall be your home:
you have justly earned it, a dismal end!'
Is it not time for true believers to submit to Allah's warning and to
the truth He has revealed, so that they may not be like those who were
given the Scriptures before this, whose days were prolonged but
whose hearts were hardened?Many of themwere evil-doers.
Know that Allah restores the earth to life after its death. We have
made plain to youOur revelations that youmay grow inwisdom.
Those that give alms, be they men or women, and those that give a
generous loan to Allah, shall be repaid twofold. They shall receive a
noble recompense.
Those who believe in Allah and His apostles are the truthful men
who shall testify in their Lord's presence. They shall have their reward
and their light. But those that disbelieve Our revelations and deny
themare the heirs of Hell.
