Holy Quran » AN NABA' : 21 - 40

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

For the transgressors, a place of return,

In which they will remain for ages [unending].

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

An appropriate recompense.

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

"So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."

Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -

Gardens and grapevines

And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

And a full cup.

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,

[From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.

The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.

That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.

Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
