99. And they are followed
By a curse in this (life)

101. It was not We that wronged them:
They wronged their own souls:
The deities, other than God,
Whom they invoked, profited them
No whit when there issued
The decree of thy Lord:
Nor did they add aught
(To their lot) but perdition!
102. Wakathalika akhthu rabbika itha akhatha alqura wahiya "th"alimatun inna akhthahu aleemun shadeedUn

Of thy Lord when He chastises
Communities in the midst of
Their wrong: grievous, indeed,
And severe is His chastisement.

For those who fear
The Penalty of the Hereafter:
That is a Day for which mankind
Will be gathered together:
That will be a Day
Of Testimony.
104. Wama nu-akhkhiruhu illa li-ajalin maAAdoodIn
104. Nor shall We delay it
But for a term appointed.
105. Yawma ya/ti la takallamu nafsun illa bi-ithnihi faminhum shaqiyyun wasaAAeedIn
105. The day it arrives,
No soul shall speak
Except by His leave:
Of those (gathered) some
Will be wretched and some
Will be blessed.

Of sighs and sobs:

107. They will dwell therein
For all the time that
The heavens and the earth
Endure, except as thy Lord
Willeth: for thy Lord
Is the (sure) Accomplisher
Of what He planneth.
108. Waamma allatheena suAAidoo fafee aljannati khalideena feeha ma damati aLssamawatu waAl-ardu illa ma shaa rabbuka AAataan ghayra majthoothIn
108. And those who are blessed
Shall be in the Garden:
They will dwell therein
For all the time that
The heavens and the earth
Endure, except as thy Lord
Willeth: a gift without break.
109. Fala taku fee miryatin mimma yaAAbudu haola-i ma yaAAbudoona illa kama yaAAbudu abaohum min qablu wa-inna lamuwaffoohum naseebahum ghayra manqoosIn
109. Be not then in doubt
As to what these men
Worship. They worship nothing
But what their fathers worshipped
Before (them): but verily
We shall pay them back
(In full) their portion
Without (the least) abatement.
