#298 Podcast Al Quran Juz 18 QS 23 Al Mu'minun 93-118

[Quran Chapter 23] 93. Say, "My Lord, if You would show me what they are promised. 94. My Lord, do not place me among the wicked people." 95. We are surely Able to show you what We promise them. 96. Repel evil by what is better. We are aware of what they describe. 97. And say, "My Lord, I seek refuge with You from the urgings of the devils. 98. And I seek refuge with You, my Lord, lest they become present." 99. Until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back. 100. That I may do right in what I have neglected." By no means! It is just a word that he utters. And behind them is a barrier, until the Day they are resurrected. 101. When the Horn is blown, no relations between them will exist on that Day, and they will not ask after one another. 102. Those whose scales are heavy—those are the successful. 103. But those whose scales are light—those are they who have lost their souls; in Hell they will dwell forever. 104. The Fire lashes their faces, and therein they grimace. 105. "Were not My revelations recited to you, and you kept on rejecting them?" 106. They will say, "Our Lord, our wretchedness prevailed over us, and we were a people astray. 107. Our Lord! Bring us out of this. If we ever returned, we would truly be evil." 108. He will say, "Be despised therein, and do not speak to Me. 109. There was a group of My servants who would say, `Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us, and have mercy on us; You are the Best of the merciful.' 110. But you made them a target of ridicule, until they made you forget My remembrance; and you used to laugh at them. 111. Today, I have rewarded them for their endurance. They are the ones who are the triumphant." 112. He will say, "How many years did you remain on earth?" 113. They will say, "We remained a day, or part of a day; but ask those who keep count." 114. He will say, "You remained only for a little while, if you only knew. 115. Did you think that We created you in vain, and that to Us you will not be returned?" 116. So Exalted is Allah, the Ruler, the Real. There is no god except He, the Lord of the Noble Throne. 117. Whoever invokes another god besides Allah—he has no proof thereof—his reckoning rests with his Lord. The disbelievers will not succeed. 118. And say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, for You are the Best of the merciful."
