Translation of Verse 10-20

10. Blessed is the One Who-if He wills -can give you far better than ˹all˺ that: gardens under which rivers flow, and palaces as well.

11. In fact, they deny the Hour. ⁷³¹ And for the deniers of the Hour, We have prepared a blazing Fire.

12. Once it sees them from a distance, they will hear it fuming and growling.

13. And when they are tossed into a narrow place inside ˹Hell˺, chained together, then and there they will cry out for ˹instant˺ destruction.

14. ˹They will be told,˺ "Do not cry only once for destruction, but cry many times over!"

15. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Is this better or the Garden of Eternity which the righteous have been promised, as a reward and ˹an ultimate˺ destination?

16. There they will have whatever they wish for, forever. That is a promise ˹to be sought after˺, binding on your Lord."

17. ˹Watch for˺ the Day He will gather them along with what they used to worship besides Allah, and ask ˹the objects of worship˺, ⁷³² "Was it you who misled these servants of Mine, or did they stray from the Way ˹on their own˺?"

18. They will say, "Glory be to You! It was not right for ˹others like˺ us to take any lords besides You, ⁷³³ but You allowed enjoyment for them and their forefathers ˹for so long˺ that they forgot ˹Your˺ remembrance and became a doomed people."

19. ˹The doomed will be told˺, "Your gods have clearly denied your claims. So now you can neither ward off ˹the punishment˺ nor get any help." And whoever of you does wrong, We will make them taste a horrible punishment.

20. We never sent any messenger before you ˹O Prophet˺, who did not eat food and go about in market-places. We have made some of you a trial for others. Will you ˹not then˺ be patient? And your Lord is All-Seeing.

Commentary

731. What they have said about you are only excuses to justify their denial of the Hereafter.

732. e.g., Jesus and the angels.

733. Another possible translation: "They will say, 'Glory be to You! We would not dare to take other lords besides You ˹so how can we claim to be lords?˺'"
