25
إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ in hādhā illā qawlul bashar It is nothing but the speech of a human.’

وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَـٰٓئِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَـٰنًا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَـٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ wa mā ja`alnā aṣ-ḥāban nāri illā malā-ikatan wa mā ja`alnā `iddatahum illā fitnatan lilladhīna kafarū liyastayqinal ladhīna ūtul kitāba wayazdādal ladhīna āmanū-iymānan walā yartābal ladhīna ūtul kitāba wal mu-minūna waliyaqūlal ladhīna fī qulūbihim maraḍun wal kāfirūna mādhā arādallāhu bihādhā mathalā ۚ kadhālika yuḍillullāhu man yashā-u wayahdī man yashā-u ۚ wa mā ya`lamu junūda rabbika illā huw ۚ wa mā hiya illā dhikrā lilbashar We have assigned only angels as keepers of the Fire, and We have made their number merely a stumbling block for the faithless, and so that those who were given the Book may be reassured, and the faithful may increase in [their] faith, and so that those who were given the Book and the faithful may not be in doubt, and so that the faithless and those in whose hearts is a sickness may say, ‘What did Allah mean by this description?’ Thus does Allah lead astray whomever He wishes and guides whomever He wishes. No one knows the hosts of your Lord except Him, and it is just an admonition for all humans.

38
كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ kullu nafsin bimā kasabat rahīnah Every soul is hostage to what it has earned,
39
إِلَّآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ illā aṣ-ḥābal yamīn except the People of the Right Hand.

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ ḥattā atānal yaqīn until death came to us.’
48
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَـٰعَةُ ٱلشَّـٰفِعِينَ famā tanfa`uhum shafā`atush shhāfi`īn So the intercession of the intercessors will not avail them.
49
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ famā lahum `anit tadhkirati mu`riḍīn What is the matter with them that they evade the Reminder
50
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ ka-annahum ḥumurun mustanfirah as if they were terrified asses
51
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ farrat min qaswarah fleeing from a lion?

54
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌ kallā innahu tadhkirah No! It is indeed a reminder.
55
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ faman shā-a dhakarah So let anyone who wishes be mindful of it.
56
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ wa mā yadhkurūna illā an yashā-allāh ۚ huwa ahlut taqwā wa-ahlul maghfirah And they will not be mindful unless Allah wishes. He is worthy of [your] being wary [of Him] and He is worthy to forgive.
