Translation of Verse 41-64

41. And remember Our servant Job, when he cried out to his Lord, "Satan has afflicted me with distress and suffering."

42. ˹We responded,˺ "Stomp your foot: ˹now˺ here is a cool ˹and refreshing˺ spring for washing and drinking."

43. And We gave him back his family, twice as many, as a mercy from Us and a lesson for people of reason.

44. ˹And We said to him,˺ "Take in your hand a bundle of grass, and strike ˹your wife˺ with it, and do not break your oath." 948 We truly found him patient. What an excellent servant ˹he was˺! Indeed, he ˹constantly˺ turned ˹to Allah˺.

45. And remember Our servants: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob-the men of strength and insight.

46. We truly chose them for the honour of proclaiming the Hereafter.

47. And in Our sight they are truly among the chosen and the finest.

48. Also remember Ishmael, Elisha, and Ⱬul-Kifl. 949 All are among the best.

49. This is ˹all˺ a reminder. And the righteous will certainly have an honourable destination:

50. the Gardens of Eternity, whose gates will be open for them.

51. There they will recline, calling for abundant fruit and drink.

52. And with them will be maidens of modest gaze and equal age.

53. This is what you are promised for the Day of Reckoning.

54. This is indeed Our provision that will never end.

55. That is that. And the transgressors will certainly have the worst destination:

56. Hell, where they will burn. What an evil place to rest!

57. Let them then taste this: boiling water and ˹oozing˺ pus,

58. and other torments of the same sort!

59. ˹The misleaders will say to one another,˺ "Here is a crowd ˹of followers˺ being thrown in with us. They are not welcome, ˹for˺ they ˹too˺ will burn in the Fire." 950

60. The followers will respond, "No! You are not welcome! You brought this upon us. What an evil place for settlement!"

61. Adding, "Our Lord! Whoever brought this upon us, double their punishment in the Fire."

62. The tyrants will ask ˹one another˺, "But why do we not see those we considered to be lowly?

63. Were we wrong in mocking them ˹in the world˺? 951 Or do our eyes ˹just˺ fail to see them ˹in the Fire˺?"

64. This dispute between the residents of the Fire will certainly come to pass.


Commentary

948. Job was afflicted with losing his children, community, and with a long illness. Only his wife stayed with him. He once became angry with his wife and vowed to give her one hundred lashes if he recovered. When Job's affliction was lifted, he became remorseful at what he had said. To help Job fulfil his vow without harming his wife, Allah ordered him to strike her with a bundle of one hundred blades of grass.

949. Scholars are in disagreement as to whether Ⱬul-Kifl was a prophet or just a righteous man. Those who maintain that he was a prophet identify him with various Biblical prophets such as Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Obadiah.

950. Meaning, they are not welcome since their presence in Hell with us will not benefit us in anyway.

951. In other words, did we underestimate them?
