Translation of Verse 66-82

66. Yet ˹some˺ people ask ˹mockingly˺, "After I die, will I really be raised to life again?"

67. Do ˹such˺ people not remember that We created them before, when they were nothing?

68. By your Lord ˹O Prophet˺! We will surely gather them along with the devils, and then set them around Hell on their knees.

69. Then We will certainly begin by dragging out of every group the ones most defiant to the Most Compassionate.

70. And We truly know best who is most deserving of burning in it.

71. There is none of you who will not pass over it. ⁵⁸² ˹This is˺ a decree your Lord must fulfil.

72. Then We will deliver those who were devout, leaving the wrongdoers there on their knees.

73. When Our clear revelations are recited to them, the disbelievers ask the believers ˹mockingly˺, "Which of the two of us is better in status and superior in assembly?"

74. ˹Imagine, O Prophet˺ how many peoples We have destroyed before them, who were far better in luxury and splendour!

75. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Whoever is ˹entrenched˺ in misguidance, the Most Compassionate will allow them plenty of time, until-behold!-they face what they are threatened with: either the torment or the Hour. Only then will they realize who is worse in position and inferior in manpower."

76. And Allah increases in guidance those who are ˹rightly˺ guided. And the everlasting good deeds are far better with your Lord in reward and in outcome. ⁵⁸³

77. Have you seen ˹O Prophet˺ the one ⁵⁸⁴ who rejects Our revelations yet boasts, "I will definitely be granted ˹plenty of˺ wealth and children ˹if there is an afterlife˺."?

78. Has he looked into the unseen or taken a pledge from the Most Compassionate?

79. Not at all! We certainly record whatever he claims and will increase his punishment extensively.

80. And We will inherit what he boasts of, and he will come before Us all by himself.

81. They have taken other gods, instead of Allah, seeking strength ˹and protection˺ through them.

82. But no! Those ˹gods˺ will deny their worship and turn against them.

Commentary

582. This refers to the bridge (known as Aṣ-Ṣirâṭ ) which is extended over Hell. Both the believers and disbelievers will be made to cross that bridge. The believers will cross it safely, each at a different speed according to the strength of their faith, whereas the disbelievers and the hypocrites will plunge into the Fire.

583. See footnote for 18:46.

584. This statement was made by Al-'Ȃṣ ibn Wâ'il, a Meccan pagan who staunchly disbelieved in resurrection.
