23. Surah Al-Mu'minun – Verses 81–118

Rather,1 they say like what the former peoples said.

— Saheeh International

They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

— Saheeh International

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."

— Saheeh International

Say, [O Muḥammad], "To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?"

— Saheeh International

They will say, "To Allāh." Say, "Then will you not remember?"

— Saheeh International

Say, "Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?"

— Saheeh International

They will say, "[They belong] to Allāh." Say, "Then will you not fear Him?"

— Saheeh International

Say, "In whose hand is the realm of all things - and He protects while none can protect against Him - if you should know?"

— Saheeh International

They will say, "[All belongs] to Allāh." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"

— Saheeh International

Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars.

— Saheeh International

Allāh has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have [sought to] overcome others. Exalted is Allāh above what they describe [concerning Him].

— Saheeh International

[He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, so high is He above what they associate [with Him].

— Saheeh International

Say, [O Muḥammad], "My Lord, if You should show me that which they are promised,

— Saheeh International

My Lord, then do not place me among the wrongdoing people."

— Saheeh International

And indeed, We are Able to show you what We have promised them.

— Saheeh International

Repel, by [means of] what is best, [their] evil. We are most knowing of what they describe.

— Saheeh International

And say, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of the devils,

— Saheeh International

And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they be present with me."

— Saheeh International

[For such is the state of the disbelievers] until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back

— Saheeh International

That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind."1 No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.

— Saheeh International

So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.

— Saheeh International

And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the successful.

— Saheeh International

But those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding eternally.

— Saheeh International

The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein will have taut smiles.1

— Saheeh International

[It will be said], "Were not My verses recited to you and you used to deny them?"

— Saheeh International

They will say, "Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.

— Saheeh International

Our Lord, remove us from it, and if we were to return [to evil], we would indeed be wrongdoers."

— Saheeh International

He will say, "Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me.

— Saheeh International

Indeed, there was a party of My servants who said, 'Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the best of the merciful.'

— Saheeh International

But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.

— Saheeh International

Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance - that they are the attainers [of success]."

— Saheeh International

[Allāh] will say, "How long did you remain on earth in number of years?"

— Saheeh International

They will say, "We remained a day or part of a day; ask those who enumerate."

— Saheeh International

He will say, "You stayed not but a little - if only you had known.

— Saheeh International

Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?"

— Saheeh International

So exalted is Allāh, the Sovereign,1 the Truth;2 there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.

— Saheeh International

And whoever invokes besides Allāh another deity for which he has no proof - then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed.

— Saheeh International

And, [O Muḥammad], say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful."

— Saheeh International
