Translation of Verse 94-112

94. So whoever does good and is a believer will never be denied ˹the reward for˺ their striving, for We are recording it all.

95. It is impossible for a society which We have destroyed to ever rise again,

96. until ˹after˺ Gog and Magog have broken loose ˹from the barrier˺, ⁶⁴⁰ swarming down from every hill,

97. ushering in the True Promise. ⁶⁴¹ Then-behold!-the disbelievers will stare ˹in horror, crying,˺ "Oh, woe to us! We have truly been heedless of this. In fact, we have been wrongdoers."

98. Certainly you ˹disbelievers˺ and whatever you worship instead of Allah will be the fuel of Hell. ⁶⁴² You are ˹all˺ bound to enter it.

99. Had those idols been ˹true˺ gods, they would not have entered it. And they will be there forever.

100. In it they will groan, and will not be able to hear.

101. Surely those for whom We have destined the finest reward will be kept far away from Hell,

102. not even hearing the slightest hissing from it. And they will delight forever in what their souls desire.

103. The Supreme Horror ˹of that Day˺ will not disturb them, and the angels will greet them, ˹saying,˺ "This is your Day, which you have been promised."

104. On that Day We will roll up the heavens like a scroll of writings. Just as We produced the first creation, ˹so˺ shall We reproduce it. That is a promise binding on Us. We truly uphold ˹Our promises˺!

105. Surely, following the ˹heavenly˺ Record, We decreed in the Scriptures: "My righteous servants shall inherit the land." ⁶⁴³

106. Surely this ˹Quran˺ is sufficient ˹as a reminder˺ for those devoted to worship.

107. We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ only as a mercy for the whole world.

108. Say, "What has been revealed to me is this: 'Your God is only One God.' Will you then submit?"

109. If they turn away, then say, "I have warned you all equally. I do not know if what you are threatened with is near or far.

110. Allah surely knows what you say openly and whatever you hide.

111. I do not know if this ˹delay˺ is possibly a test for you and an enjoyment for a while."

112. ˹In the end,˺ the Prophet said, "My Lord! Judge ˹between us˺ in truth. And our Lord is the Most Compassionate, Whose help is sought against what you claim." ⁶⁴⁴
