Translation of Verse 11-19

11. Who is it that will lend to Allah a good loan which Allah will multiply ˹many times over˺ for them, and they will have an honourable reward? ¹¹⁷²

12. On that Day you will see believing men and women with their light shining ahead of them and on their right. ˹They will be told,˺ "Today you have good news of Gardens, under which rivers flow, ˹for you˺ to stay in forever. This is ˹truly˺ the ultimate triumph."

13. On that Day hypocrite men and women will beg the believers, "Wait for us so that we may have some of your light." It will be said ˹mockingly˺, "Go back ˹to the world˺ and seek a light ˹there˺!" Then a ˹separating˺ wall with a gate will be erected between them. On the near side will be grace and on the far side will be torment. ¹¹⁷³

14. The tormented will cry out to those graced, "Were we not with you?" They will reply, "Yes ˹you were˺. But you chose to be tempted ˹by hypocrisy˺, ˹eagerly˺ awaited ˹our demise˺, doubted ˹the truth˺, and were deluded by false hopes until Allah's decree ˹of your death˺ came to pass. And ˹so˺ the Chief Deceiver ¹¹⁷⁴ deceived you about Allah.

15. So Today no ransom will be accepted from you ˹hypocrites˺, nor from the disbelievers. Your home is the Fire-it is the ˹only˺ fitting place for you. What an evil destination!"

16. Has the time not yet come for believers' hearts to be humbled at the remembrance of Allah and what has been revealed of the truth, and not be like those given the Scripture before-˹those˺ who were spoiled for so long that their hearts became hardened. And many of them are ˹still˺ rebellious.

17. Know that Allah revives the earth after its death. ¹¹⁷⁵ We have certainly made the signs clear for you so perhaps you will understand.

18. Indeed, those men and women who give in charity and lend to Allah a good loan will have it multiplied for them, and they will have an honourable reward. ¹¹⁷⁶

19. ˹As for˺ those who believe in Allah and His messengers, it is they who are ˹truly˺ the people of truth. And the martyrs, with their Lord, will have their reward and their light. But ˹as for˺ those who disbelieve and reject Our signs, it is they who will be the residents of the Hellfire.
