Translation of Verse 96-109

96. Indeed, We sent Moses with Our signs and compelling proof

97. to Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they followed the command of Pharaoh, and Pharaoh's command was not well guided.

98. He will be before his people on the Day of Judgment and will lead them into the Fire. What an evil place to be led into!

99. They were followed by a curse in this ˹life˺ and ˹will receive another˺ on the Day of Judgment. What an evil gift to receive!

100. These are accounts, We relate to you ˹O Prophet˺, of the ˹destroyed˺ cities. Some are still standing ˹barren˺, while others have been mowed down.

101. We did not wrong them, rather they wronged themselves. The gods they invoked beside Allah were of no help at all when the command of your Lord came, and only contributed to their ruin.

102. Such is the ˹crushing˺ grip of your Lord when He seizes the societies entrenched in wrongdoing. Indeed, His grip is ˹terribly˺ painful and severe.

103. Surely in this is a sign for those who fear the torment of the Hereafter. That is a Day for which humanity will be gathered and a Day ˹that will be˺ witnessed ˹by all˺.

104. We only delay it for a fixed term.

105. When that Day arrives, no one will dare speak except with His permission. Some of them will be miserable, others joyful.

106. As for those bound for misery, they will be in the Fire, where they will be sighing and gasping,

107. staying there forever, as long as the heavens and the earth will endure, except what your Lord wills. ⁴³⁰ Surely your Lord does what He intends.

108. And as for those destined to joy, they will be in Paradise, staying there forever, as long as the heavens and the earth will endure, except what your Lord wills ⁴³¹ -a ˹generous˺ giving, without end.

109. So do not be in doubt ˹O Prophet˺ about what those ˹pagans˺ worship. They worship nothing except what their forefathers worshipped before ˹them˺. And We will certainly give them their share ˹of punishment˺ in full, without any reduction.

Commentary

430. Sinful believers will eventually be removed from Hell after receiving their punishment.

431. Except the time they spend on earth and in the grave, or except the time the sinful believers spend in Hell before being transferred to Paradise.
