| 12. If only thou couldst see when the guilty ones will hang down their heads before their Lord, and say, `Our Lord, we have seen and we have heard, so send us back that we may do good works; for now we are convinced of the truth of what we were told.' 13. And if WE had enforced Our will, WE could have given every soul its appropriate guidance, but the word from ME has come true that I will fill Hell with jinn and men all together. 14. So taste ye the punishment of your evil deeds, for you forgot the meeting of this day of yours. We too, have forgotten you. Taste ye then the lasting punishment because of that which you used to do. 15. Only those really believe in Our Signs who, when they are reminded of them, fall down prostrate and celebrate the praises of their Lord, and they are not proud. 16. Their sides keep away from their beds; and they call on their Lord in fear and hope, and spend out of what WE have bestowed on them. 17. And no soul knows what joy of the eyes is kept hidden for them, as a reward for the good they used to do. 18. Is he, then, who is a believer like one who is disobedient ? they are not equal. 19. As for those who believe and do good works, they will have Gardens of Eternal Abode as an entertainment in return for what they used to do. 20. And as for those who are disobedient, their abode will be the Fire. Every time they desire to come out of it, they will be turned back into it, and it will be said to them, `Taste ye the punishment of the Fire which you used to deny.' |
