Chapter 40, Page 472, Juz 24

38. And said he who had believed, “O my people, follow me, I will show you the path of guidance. 39. O my people, this life of the world is only a (momentary) benefit, while the Hereafter is, indeed, the place of permanent living. 40. The one who does something evil will not be punished but in its equal proportion, but the one who does a righteous deed, be he male or female, while he is a believer, then, such people will enter the Jannah (Paradise) where they will be provided with bounties beyond reckoning. 41. And O my people, what is wrong with me that I call you to salvation and you call me to the Fire? 42. You invite me to reject my belief in Allah and ascribe to Him partners about whom I have no knowledge, while I invite you to (Him who is) the Mighty, the Most-Forgiving. 43. It is obvious that those (gods) to whom you are inviting me are not worth calling, neither in this world nor in the world to come, and that we have to return back to Allah, and that the transgressors are indeed the people of the Fire. 44. Soon you will remember what I am saying to you. And I entrust my matter with Allah. Surely, Allah has all (His) servants in sight.” 45. Then Allah saved him from the evils of what they designed, and the House of Pharaoh was encircled by an evil punishment. 46. It is the Fire before which they are presented morning and evening. And on the day when the Hour (of final judgment) will take place, (the order will be released,): “Admit the family of Pharaoh into the most severe punishment.” 47. And (worth remembering is the time) when they (the infidels) will argue with each other in the Fire. So, the weak will say to those who were arrogant, “Surely, we used to be your followers, would you, then, stand for us in (suffering at least a) part of the (punishment of) Fire?” 48. Those who were arrogant will say, “We all are in it. Allah has already passed the judgment between (His) servants. 49. And those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Jahannam (Hell), “Pray to your Lord to lighten the punishment for us some day.” 50. They will say, “Had your messengers not been coming to you with open signs?” They will say, “Of course, (they had come).” They (the keepers) will say, “Then, keep praying” - but praying of disbelievers (in the Hereafter) is only in vain.
