Translation of Verse 48-53

48. Those on the heights will call out to some ˹tyrants in the Fire˺, who they will recognize by their appearance, saying, "Your large numbers and arrogance are of no use ˹today˺!

49. Are these ˹humble believers˺ the ones you swore would never be shown Allah's mercy?" ˹Finally, those on the heights will be told:˺ "Enter Paradise! There will be no fear for you, nor will you grieve."

50. The residents of the Fire will then cry out to the residents of Paradise, "Aid us with some water or any provision Allah has granted you." They will reply, "Allah has forbidden both to the disbelievers,

51. those who took this ³¹⁷ faith ˹of Islam˺ as mere amusement and play and were deluded by ˹their˺ worldly life." ˹Allah will say,˺ "Today We will ignore them just as they ignored the coming of this Day of theirs and for rejecting Our revelations."

52. We have certainly brought them a Book which We explained with knowledge-a guide and mercy for those who believe.

53. Do they only await the fulfilment ˹of its warning˺? The Day it will be fulfilled, those who ignored it before will say, "The messengers of our Lord certainly came with the truth. Are there any intercessors who can plead on our behalf? Or can we be sent back so we may do ˹good,˺ unlike what we used to do?" They will have certainly ruined themselves, and whatever ˹gods˺ they fabricated will fail them.
