Surah 23 - Al Mu'minun THE BELIEVERS-023.101-023.118

023.101 Then when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no more relationships between them that Day, nor will one ask after another!

023.102 Then those whose balance (of good deeds) is heavy,- they will attain salvation:

023.103 But those whose balance is light, will be those who have lost their souls, in Hell will they abide.

023.104 The Fire will burn their faces, and they will therein grin, with their lips displaced.

023.105 "Were not My Signs rehearsed to you, and ye did but treat them as falsehood?"

023.106 They will say: "our Lord! Our misfortune overwhelmed us, and we became a people astray!

023.107 "Our Lord! bring us out of this: if ever we return (to Evil), then shall we be wrong-doers indeed!"

023.108 He will say: "Be ye driven into it (with ignominy)! And speak ye not to Me!

023.109 "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!"

023.110 "But ye treated them with ridicule, so much so that (ridicule of) them made you forget My Message while ye were laughing at them!

023.111 "I have rewarded them this Day for their patience and constancy: they are indeed the ones that have achieved Bliss..."

023.112 He will say: "What number of years did ye stay on earth?"

023.113 They will say: "We stayed a day or part of a day: but ask those who keep account."

023.114 He will say: "Ye stayed not but a little - if ye had only known!

023.115 "Did ye then think that We had created you in jest, and that ye would not be brought back to Us (for account)?"

023.116 Therefore exalted be God, the King, the Reality: there is no god but He, the Lord of the Throne of Honour!

023.117 If anyone invokes, besides God, Any other god, he has no proof therefor; and his reckoning will be only with his Lord! and verily the Unbelievers will fail to win through!

023.118 So say: "O my Lord! grant Thou forgiveness and mercy for Thou art the Best of those who show mercy!"
