Translation of Verse 22-27

22. And Satan will say ˹to his followers˺ after the judgment has been passed, "Indeed, Allah has made you a true promise. I too made you a promise, but I failed you. I did not have any authority over you. I only called you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; blame yourselves. I cannot save you, nor can you save me. Indeed, I denounce your previous association of me with Allah ˹in loyalty˺. Surely the wrongdoers will suffer a painful punishment."

23. Those who believe and do good will be admitted into Gardens, under which rivers flow-to stay there forever by the Will of their Lord-where they will be greeted with "Peace!"

24. Do you not see how Allah compares a good word to a good tree? Its root is firm and its branches reach the sky,

25. ˹always˺ yielding its fruit in every season by the Will of its Lord. This is how Allah sets forth parables for the people, so perhaps they will be mindful.

26. And the parable of an evil word is that of an evil tree, uprooted from the earth, having no stability.

27. Allah makes the believers steadfast with the firm Word ˹of faith˺ ⁴⁸⁰ in this worldly life and the Hereafter. And Allah leaves the wrongdoers to stray. For Allah does what He wills.
