۞ مَثَلُ

ٱلۡفَرِيقَيۡنِ

كَٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ

وَٱلۡأَصَمِّ

Chapter 11, Page 224, Juz 12

15. Those who seek (merely) the worldly life and its beauty, We will fully recompense them herein for their acts, and their right will not be curtailed in this world. 16. Those are the people for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter except fire. Nullified will be whatever they worked herein, and void will be what they have been doing. 17. Then, can such people be equal to the one who has a clear proof from his Lord, followed by an evidence from within, and before which there was the Book of Mūsā, a guide and a mercy? Such people believe in it; and whoever of the groups denies its veracity, his promised place is the Fire. So, do not be in doubt about it. Surely, it is the truth from your Lord, but most of people do not believe. 18. Who is more unjust than the one who forges a lie against Allah? Such people will be presented before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, “These are the ones who lied against their Lord. Lo! the curse of Allah lies on the unjust, 19. the ones who prevent (people) from the way of Allah and seek crookedness in it, and who are deniers of the Hereafter.” 20. They were unable to frustrate (Allah’s plan) on the earth, and they had no supporters besides Allah. Punishment will be doubled for them. They were not able to hear, nor would they see. 21. Those are the ones who brought loss to their own selves, and all that they used to fabricate vanished from them. 22. Essentially, they are the worst losers in the Hereafter. 23. Surely, those who believe and do good deeds and humble themselves before their Lord, those are the people of Paradise. There they shall live forever. 24.
