Read in Context

Chapter 32, Page 416, Juz 21

15. The only people who truly believe in Our messages are those who, when they are reminded of them, bow down in worship, cele-brate their Lord’s praises, and do not think themselves above this. 16. Their sides shun their beds in order to pray to their Lord in fear and hope; they give to others some of what We have given them. 17. No soul knows what joy is kept hidden in store for them as a reward for what they have done. 18. So, is someone who believes equal to someone who defies God? No, they are not equal. 19. Those who believe and do good deeds will have Gardens awaiting them as their home and as a reward for what they have done. 20. As for those who defy God, their home will be the Fire. Whenever they try to escape it, they will be driven back into it, and they will be told, ‘Taste the torment of the Fire, which you persistently denied.’ 21. We shall certainly make them taste a nearer torment [in this life] prior to the greater torment, so that perhaps they may return [to the right path]. 22. Who does more wrong than someone who, when messages from his Lord are recited to him, turns away from them? We shall inflict retribution on the guilty.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
