Translation of Verse 68-89

68. ˹who will be told,˺ "O My servants! There is no fear for you Today, nor will you grieve-

69. ˹those˺ who believed in Our signs and ˹fully˺ submitted ˹to Us˺.

70. Enter Paradise, you and your spouses, rejoicing."

71. Golden trays and cups will be passed around to them. There will be whatever the souls desire and the eyes delight in. And you will be there forever.

72. That is the Paradise which you will be awarded for what you used to do.

73. There you will have abundant fruit ¹⁰¹⁶ to eat from.

74. Indeed, the wicked will be in the torment of Hell forever.

75. It will never be lightened for them, and there they will be overwhelmed with despair.

76. We did not wrong them, but it was they who were the wrongdoers.

77. They will cry, "O Mâlik! ¹⁰¹⁷ Let your Lord finish us off." He will answer, "You are definitely here to stay."

78. We certainly brought the truth to you, but most of you were resentful of the truth.

79. Or have they mastered some ˹evil˺ plan? Then We ˹too˺ are surely planning.

80. Or do they think that We do not hear their ˹evil˺ thoughts and secret talks? Yes ˹We do˺! And Our messenger-angels are in their presence, recording ˹it all˺.

81. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "If the Most Compassionate ˹really˺ had offspring, I would be the first worshipper."

82. Glorified is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne, far above what they claim.

83. So let them indulge ˹in falsehood˺ and amuse ˹themselves˺ until they face their Day, which they have been warned of.

84. It is He Who is ˹the only˺ God in the heavens and ˹the only˺ God on the earth. For He is the All-Wise, All-Knowing.

85. And Blessed is the One to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in between! With Him ˹alone˺ is the knowledge of the Hour. And to Him you will ˹all˺ be returned.

86. ˹But˺ those ˹objects of worship˺ they invoke besides Him have no power to intercede, except those who testify to the truth knowingly. ¹⁰¹⁸

87. If you ask them ˹O Prophet˺ who created them, they will certainly say, "Allah!" How can they then be deluded ˹from the truth˺?

88. ˹Allah is Aware of˺ the Prophet's cry: "O my Lord! Indeed, these are a people who persist in disbelief."

89. So bear with them and respond with peace. They will soon come to know.
