26. Shuara · verses 88–101

يَوۡمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٞ وَلَا بَنُونَ

Yawma la yanfaAAu malun wala banoona

"The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,

إِلَّا مَنۡ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٖ

Illa man ata Allaha biqalbin saleemin

"But only he (will prosper) that brings to Allah a sound heart;

وَأُزۡلِفَتِ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ

Waozlifati aljannatu lilmuttaqeena

"To the righteous, the Garden will be brought near,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِلۡغَاوِينَ

Waburrizati aljaheemu lilghaweena

"And to those straying in Evil, the Fire will be placed in full view;

وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

Waqeela lahum ayna ma kuntum taAAbudoona

"And it shall be said to them: ´Where are the (gods) ye worshipped-

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلۡ يَنصُرُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَنتَصِرُونَ

Min dooni Allahi hal yansuroonakum aw yantasiroona

"´Besides Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?´

فَكُبۡكِبُواْ فِيهَا هُمۡ وَٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

Fakubkiboo feeha hum waalghawoona

"Then they will be thrown headlong into the (Fire),- they and those straying in Evil,

وَجُنُودُ إِبۡلِيسَ أَجۡمَعُونَ

Wajunoodu ibleesa ajmaAAoona

"And the whole hosts of Iblis together.

قَالُواْ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا يَخۡتَصِمُونَ

Qaloo wahum feeha yakhtasimoona

"They will say there in their mutual bickerings:

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ

TaAllahi in kunna lafee dalalin mubeenin

"´By Allah, we were truly in an error manifest,

إِذۡ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Ith nusawweekum birabbi alAAalameena

"´When we held you as equals with the Lord of the Worlds;

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ

Wama adallana illa almujrimoona

"´And our seducers were only those who were steeped in guilt.

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ

Fama lana min shafiAAeena

"´Now, then, we have none to intercede (for us),

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٖ

Wala sadeeqin hameemin

"´Nor a single friend to feel (for us).
