(It will be said to the angels): "Assemble those who did wrong, together with their companions (from the devils) and what they used to worship.

"Instead of Allah, and lead them on to the way of flaming Fire (Hell);

"But stop them, verily they are to be questioned.

"What is the matter with you? Why do you not help one another (as you used to do in the world)?"

Nay, but that Day they shall surrender,

And they will turn to one another and question one another.

They will say: "It was you who used to come to us from the right side [i.e. from the right side of one of us and beautify for us every evil, order us for polytheism, and stop us from the truth i.e. Islamic Monotheism and from every good deed]."

They will reply: "Nay, you yourselves were not believers.

"And we had no authority over you. Nay! But you were transgressing people (disobedient, polytheists, and disbelievers).

"So now the Word of our Lord has been justified against us, that we shall certainly (have to) taste (the torment).

"So we led you astray because we were ourselves astray."

Then verily, that Day, they will (all) share in the torment.

Certainly, that is how We deal with Al-Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, criminals, the disobedient to Allah, etc.).

Truly, when it was said to them: La ilaha ill-Allah "(none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)," they puffed themselves up with pride (i.e. denied it).

And (they) said: "Are we going to abandon our aliha (gods) for the sake of a mad poet?

Nay! he (Muhammad ﷺ) has come with the truth (i.e. Allah's Religion - Islamic Monotheism and this Quran) and he confirms the Messengers (before him who brought Allah's religion - Islamic Monotheism).

Verily, you (pagans of Makkah) are going to taste the painful torment;

And you will be requited nothing except for what you used to do (evil deeds, sins, and Allah's disobedience which you used to do in this world);

Save the chosen slaves of Allah (faithful, obedient, true believers of Islamic Monotheism).

For them there will be a known provision (in Paradise).

Fruits; and they shall be honoured,

In the Gardens of delight (Paradise),

Facing one another on thrones,

Round them will be passed a cup of pure wine;

White, delicious to the drinkers,

Neither they will have Ghoul (any kind of hurt, abdominal pain, headache, a sin, etc.) from that, nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom.

And with them will be chaste females, restraining their glances (desiring none except their husbands), with wide and beautiful eyes.

(Delicate and pure) as if they were (hidden) eggs (well) preserved.

Then they will turn to one another, mutually questioning.

A speaker of them will say: "Verily, I had a companion (in the world),

Who used to say: "Are you among those who believe (in resurrection after death).

"(That) when we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed (be raised up) to receive reward or punishment (according to our deeds)?"

(The man) said: "Will you look down?"

So he looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire.

He said: "By Allah! You have nearly ruined me.

"Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought forth (to Hell)."

(Allah informs about that true believer that he said): "Are we then not to die (any more)?

"Except our first death, and we shall not be punished? (after we have entered Paradise)."

Truly, this is the supreme success!

For the like of this let the workers work.

Is that (Paradise) better entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum (a horrible tree in Hell)?

Truly We have made it (as) a trail for the Zalimun (polytheists, disbelievers, wrong-doers, etc.).

Verily, it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-fire,

The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of Shayatin (devils);

Truly, they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.

Then on the top of that they will be given boiling water to drink so that it becomes a mixture (of boiling water and Zaqqum in their bellies).

Then thereafter, verily, their return is to the flaming fire of Hell.

Verily, they found their fathers on the wrong path;

So they (too) made haste to follow in their footsteps!

And indeed most of the men of old went astray before them;

And indeed We sent among them warners (Messengers);

Then see what was the end of those who were warned (but heeded not).

Except the chosen slaves of Allah (faithful, obedient, and true believers of Islamic Monotheism).
