In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- Then when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no more relationships between them that day, nor will one ask after another!
- Then those whose balance (of good deeds) is heavy, -- they will attain salvation:
- But those whose balance is light, will be those who have lost their souls; in Hell will they abide.
- The Fire will burn their faces, and they will therein grin, with their lips displaced.
- "Were not My Signs rehearsed to you, and ye did but treat them as falsehoods?"
- They will say: "Our Lord! our misfortune overwhelmed us and we became a people astray!
- "Our Lord! bring us out of this: if ever we return (to evil), then shall we be wrongdoers indeed!"
- He will say: "Be ye driven into it (with ignominy)! and speak ye not to Me!
- "A part of My servants there was, who used to pray, `Our Lord! we believe; then do Thou forgive us, and have mercy upon us: for Thou art the best of those Who show mercy!'
- "But ye treated them with ridicule, so much so that (ridicule of) them made you forget My Message while ye were laughing at them!
- "I have rewarded them this day for their patience and constancy: they are indeed the ones that have achieved Bliss..."
- He will say: "What number of years did ye stay on earth?"
- They will say: "We stayed a day or part of a day: But ask those who keep account."
- He will say: "Ye stayed not but a little, -- if ye had only known!
- "Did ye then think that We had created you in jest, and that ye would not be brought back to Us (for account)?"
- Therefore exalted be Allah, the King, the Reality; there is no god but He, the Lord of the Throne of Honor!
- If anyone invokes, besides Allah any other god, he has no authority therefor; and his reckoning will be only with his Lord! And verily the Unbelievers will fail to win through!
- So say: "O my Lord! grant thou forgiveness and mercy! for Thou art the Best of those who show mercy!"
