Translation of Verse 11-22

11. And there are some who worship Allah on the verge ˹of faith˺: if they are blessed with something good, they are content with it; but if they are afflicted with a trial, they relapse ˹into disbelief˺, 650 losing this world and the Hereafter. That is ˹truly˺ the clearest loss.

12. They call besides Allah what can neither harm nor benefit them. That is ˹truly˺ the farthest one can stray.

13. They invoke those whose worship leads to harm, not benefit. What an evil patron and what an evil associate!

14. Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and do good into Gardens, under which rivers flow. Surely Allah does what He wills.

15. Whoever thinks that Allah will not help His Prophet in this world and the Hereafter, let them stretch out a rope to the ceiling and strangle themselves, then let them see if this plan will do away with ˹the cause of˺ their rage. 651

16. And so We revealed this ˹Quran˺ as clear verses. And Allah certainly guides whoever He wills.

17. Indeed, the believers, Jews, Sabians, 652 Christians, Magi, 653 and the polytheists-Allah will judge between them ˹all˺ on Judgment Day. Surely Allah is a Witness over all things.

18. Do you not see that to Allah bow down ˹in submission˺ 654 all those in the heavens and all those on the earth, as well as the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, and ˹all˺ living beings, as well as many humans, while many are deserving of punishment. And whoever Allah disgraces, none can honour. Surely Allah does what He wills.

19. These are two opposing groups that disagree about their Lord: as for the disbelievers, garments of Fire will be cut out for them and boiling water will be poured over their heads,

20. melting whatever is in their bellies, along with their skin.

21. And awaiting them are maces of iron.

22. Whenever they try to escape from Hell-out of anguish-they will be forced back into it, ˹and will be told,˺ "Taste the torment of burning!"
