Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.¹

88:12Page 592

So remind, [O Muḥammad]; you are only a reminder.

88:22Page 592

لَّسۡتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِمُصَيۡطِرٍ ٢٢

You are not over them a controller.

88:23Page 592

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ ٢٣

88:24Page 592

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرَ ٢٤

Then Allāh will punish him with the greatest punishment.

Indeed, to Us is their return.

88:26Page 592
