Al-Mu'minun 23:92–118

(Knower of the invisible) that which is unseen by people; it is also said the invisible includes everything that will happen in the future (and the visible!) that which people know; it is also said that the visible includes everything that has already happened (and exalted be He over) Allah is far transcendent above (all that they ascribe as partners (unto Him)) of idols!

(Say) O Muhammad: (My Lord!) O my Lord! (If Thou shouldst show me that which they are promised) of chastisement,

(My Lord! then set me not among the wrong-doing folk) do not place me with the disbelieving people on the Day of Badr.

(And verily We are Able to show thee) O Muhammad (that which We have promised them) of torment on the Day of Badr.

(Repel evil with that which is better) repel by means of " there is no god except Allah " the expression of idolatry which is coming from Abu Jahl and his host; and it is also said that this means: repel from yourself their indecent talk through the greeting of peace. (We are best Aware of that which they allege) of lies.

(And say: My Lord! I seek refuge in Thee from suggestions) from the insinuations (of the evil ones) that bewitch humans,

(And I seek refuge in Thee, my Lord, lest they) the devils (be present with me) upon praying, upon recitation and upon death,

(Until, when death) the angels of death and his helpers (cometh unto one of them) i.e. the disbelievers of Mecca, (he saith: My Lord! Send me back) to the life of the world,

(That I may do right) and believe in You (in that which I have left behind) in the life of the world and disbelieved in! (But nay!) he will not be returned to the life of the world. (It) his saying: �Return me that I may do right� (is but a word that he speaketh) is just a mere expression that he utters and which will not benefit him; (and behind them) in front of them (is a barrier) the grave (until the day when they are raised) from the graves.

(And when the trumpet is blown) the blowing of the resurrection (there will be no kinship among them) people's common lineage will be of no benefit (that day) the Day of Judgement, (nor will they ask of one another) nor will they ask about that.

Then those whose scales are heavy) with good works, (they are the successful) the ones who will escape Allah's wrath and chastisement.

(And those whose scales are light) with good works (are those who lose their souls, in hell abiding) forever, neither to die or leave.

(The fire burneth their faces) their faces are beaten up, and their flesh and bones are consumed by the Fire, (and they are glum) their faces are dark and their eyes blue (therein) in hell.

Allah says to them: (Were not My revelations) the Qur'an (recited unto you) in the life of the world, (and then ye used to deny them) and you used to disbelieve in the revelations?

(They will say) the disbelievers will say upon entering hell: (Our Lord!) O our Lord! (Our evil fortune) which was decreed upon us in the Guarded Tablet (conquered us) this is why we did not believe, (and we were erring folk) and we were disbelievers.

(Our Lord!) O our Lord! (Oh, bring us forth from hence) take us out of hell! (If we return) to disbelief (then indeed we shall be wrong-doers) then we will be transgressing against ourselves.

(He saith) Allah says to them: (Be gone therein) be abased in hell, (and speak not unto Me) and do not ask Me to get you out of hell.

(Lo! there was a party of My) believing (slaves who said: Our Lord!) O our Lord! (We believe) in You, in Your Messenger and in Your Book, (therefore forgive us) our sins (and have mercy on us) by not punishing us (for Thou art Best of all who show mercy) You are more merciful towards us than our own parents;

(But ye chose them from a laughing stock until they caused you to forget remembrance of Me) until they preoccupied you from declaring My divine Oneness and worshipping Me, (while ye laughed at them) and mocked them.

(Lo! I have rewarded them this day) with Paradise (forasmuch as they were steadfast) in obeying me and withholding your harm; (and they verily are the triumphant) they have gained Paradise and become safe from hell. This verse was revealed about Abu Jahl and his host who mocked Salman [al-Farisi] and his fellow-believers

(He will say) Allah will say to them: (How long tarried you) how long have you remained (in the earth) in your graves, (counting by years) how many days and months?

(They will say: We tarried but a day) upon saying this, they will have some doubt, and therefore will say: (or part of a day). Then, they said: we do not know: (Ask of those who keep count!) i.e. the angels who record people's deeds; it is also said that this refers to the angel of death and his helpers.

(He will say) Allah will say to them: (Ye tarried) you remained in your graves (but a little) in comparison to your dwelling in hell (if ye only knew) this; He says: if you only believe what I say; it is also said that this means: if only you did believe in My prophets in the life of the world, you would know now that you remained in your graves but a short time.

(Deemed ye then) O people of Mecca (that We had created you for naught) in vain, without commands and prohibitions, reward and punishment, (and that ye would not be returned unto Us) after you die?

(Now Allah be exalted) Allah is exonerated from and far above having a son or partner, (the True King! There is no God save Him, the Lord of the Throne of Grace.

He who crieth unto) worships (any other god) among idols (along with Allah hath no proof thereof) no proof for worshipping other than Allah. (His reckoning) his chastisement (is only with his Lord) in the Hereafter. (Lo! disbelievers will not be successful) disbelievers will not be safe from Allah's chastisement nor escape from it.

(And say) O Muhammad: (My Lord! Forgive) my nation (and have mercy) on my nation by not punishing them, (for Thou art Best of all who show mercy) the most Merciful of all who show mercy'.
