Translation of Verse 71-75

71. Those who disbelieved will be driven to Hell in ˹successive˺ groups. When they arrive there, its gates will be opened and its keepers will ask them: "Did messengers not come to you from among yourselves, reciting to you the revelations of your Lord and warning you of the coming of this Day of yours?" The disbelievers will cry, "Yes ˹indeed˺! But the decree of torment has come to pass against the disbelievers."

72. It will be said to them, "Enter the gates of Hell, to stay there forever." What an evil home for the arrogant!

73. And those who were mindful of their Lord will be led to Paradise in ˹successive˺ groups. When they arrive at its ˹already˺ open gates, its keepers will say, "Peace be upon you! You have done well, so come in, to stay forever."

74. The righteous will say, "Praise be to Allah Who has fulfilled His promise to us, and made us inherit the ˹everlasting˺ land ⁹⁶⁵ to settle in Paradise wherever we please." How excellent is the reward of those who work ˹righteousness˺!

75. You will see the angels all around the Throne, glorifying the praises of their Lord, for judgment will have been passed on all with fairness. And it will be said, ⁹⁶⁶ "Praise be to Allah-Lord of all worlds!"

Commentary

965. This is emphasized in 21:105. The meaning is that Allah will award Paradise to the believers to be its residents forever. Some commentators say that the word "inherit" is used because of the understanding that when Allah created Paradise and Hell, He made places for all of humanity in both. Those who will go to Paradise will inherit the spots of the disbelievers who chose misguidance (which leads to Hell), and those who will go to Hell will inherit the spots of those who chose guidance (which leads to Paradise).

966. The believers will praise Him for His grace, and the disbelievers will praise Him for His justice.
