They will say, `Our Lord, our ill fortune overwhelmed us, and we were an erring people, 107. `Our Lord, take us out of this, then if we revert to disobedience, we shall, indeed, be wrongdoers.' 108. ALLAH will say, `Away with you, despised therein, and speak not unto ME; 109. `There was a party of MY servants who said, `Our Lord, we believe; forgive us therefore our sins, and have mercy on us; for thou art the Best of those who show mercy; 110. `But you ridiculed them so much so that ridicule of them caused you to forget MY remembrance while you continued to laugh at them; 111. `I have rewarded them this day for their patient endurance; they are, indeed, the ones who have achieved bliss.' 112. ALLAH will then say, `What number of years did you tarry in the earth ?' 113. They will say, `We tarried for a day or part of a day, but ask those who keep count.' 114. HE will say, `You tarried but a little, if only you knew !' 115. What ! Did you then think that WE had created you without purpose, and that you would not be brought back to US ? 116. Exalted be ALLAH, the True King. There is no god but HE, the Lord of the Glorious Throne. 117. And he, who calls on another god along with ALLAH, for which he has no proof, shall have to render an account to his Lord. Certainly the disbelievers do not prosper. 118. And say, `My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and Thou art the Best of those who show mercy.' |
