Read Surah Ghafir

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ یٰقَوْمِ مَا لِیْۤ اَدْعُوْكُمْ اِلَی النَّجٰوةِ وَ تَدْعُوْنَنِیْۤ اِلَی النَّارِؕ۝۴۱

O my people, what is wrong with me that I am calling you to preservation, while you invite me to the Fire!

تَدْعُوْنَنِیْ لِاَكْفُرَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ اُشْرِكَ بِهٖ مَا لَیْسَ لِیْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ؗ وَّ اَنَا اَدْعُوْكُمْ اِلَی الْعَزِیْزِ الْغَفَّارِ۝۴۲

You are asking me to disbelieve in God, and to associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, yet I invite you to the all-mighty, all-forgiving.

لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّمَا تَدْعُوْنَنِیْۤ اِلَیْهِ لَیْسَ لَهٗ دَعْوَةٌ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ لَا فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ وَ اَنَّ مَرَدَّنَاۤ اِلَی اللّٰهِ وَ اَنَّ الْمُسْرِفِیْنَ هُمْ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ۝۴۳

What you are calling me to is surely not worth the calling in this world or in the next, because our returning is to God; and because the transgressors will be inmates of Hell.

فَسَتَذْكُرُوْنَ مَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ ؕ وَ اُفَوِّضُ اَمْرِیْۤ اِلَی اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بَصِیْرٌۢ بِالْعِبَادِ۝۴۴

You will remember what I say in time to come; I submit my case to the judgement of God. Surely God keeps an eye on His creatures."

فَوَقٰىهُ اللّٰهُ سَیِّاٰتِ مَا مَكَرُوْا وَ حَاقَ بِاٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ سُوْٓءُ الْعَذَابِۚ۝۴۵

So God preserved him from the evil they were planning; and a dreadful doom encompassed the people of Pharaoh:

اَلنَّارُ یُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلَیْهَا غُدُوًّا وَّ عَشِیًّا ۚ وَ یَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ ۫ اَدْخِلُوْۤا اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ اَشَدَّ الْعَذَابِ۝۴۶

Fire, to which they are exposed morning and evening. The day the Hour is proclaimed (it will be said:) "Admit the people of Pharaoh to the severest punishment,"

وَ اِذْ یَتَحَآجُّوْنَ فِی النَّارِ فَیَقُوْلُ الضُّعَفٰٓؤُا لِلَّذِیْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْۤا اِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّغْنُوْنَ عَنَّا نَصِیْبًا مِّنَ النَّارِ۝۴۷

As they will noisily argue in the Fire, the weaker ones will say to the arrogant: "We were your followers, so will you take over some of our share of the fire?"

قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْۤا اِنَّا كُلٌّ فِیْهَاۤ ۙ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ حَكَمَ بَیْنَ الْعِبَادِ۝۴۸

The arrogant will answer: "All of us are in it. Surely God has judged between His creatures."

وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ فِی النَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ادْعُوْا رَبَّكُمْ یُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا یَوْمًا مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ۝۴۹

Those in the Fire will say to the warders of Hell: "Ask your Lord to reduce the punishment by a day for us."

قَالُوْۤا اَوَ لَمْ تَكُ تَاْتِیْكُمْ رُسُلُكُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ ؕ قَالُوْا بَلٰی ؕ قَالُوْا فَادْعُوْا ۚ وَ مَا دُعٰٓؤُا الْكٰفِرِیْنَ اِلَّا فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ۠۝۵۰

They will say: "Did not your apostles come to you with clear proofs?" They will answer: "Indeed, they did." "Then pray," will (the warders) say. But the praying of unbelievers will be all in vain.
