ثُمَّ لَنَحنُ أَعلَمُ بِالَّذينَ هُم أَولىٰ بِها صِلِيًّا

Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein.

وَإِن مِنكُم إِلّا وارِدُها ۚ كانَ عَلىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتمًا مَقضِيًّا

And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي الَّذينَ اتَّقَوا وَنَذَرُ الظّالِمينَ فيها جِثِيًّا

Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.

وَإِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِم آياتُنا بَيِّناتٍ قالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لِلَّذينَ آمَنوا أَيُّ الفَريقَينِ خَيرٌ مَقامًا وَأَحسَنُ نَدِيًّا

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of [our] two parties is best in position and best in association?"

وَكَم أَهلَكنا قَبلَهُم مِن قَرنٍ هُم أَحسَنُ أَثاثًا وَرِئيًا

And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance?

وَيَزيدُ اللَّهُ الَّذينَ اهتَدَوا هُدًى ۗ وَالباقِياتُ الصّالِحاتُ خَيرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوابًا وَخَيرٌ مَرَدًّا

And Allah increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for recourse.

أَفَرَأَيتَ الَّذي كَفَرَ بِآياتِنا وَقالَ لَأوتَيَنَّ مالًا وَوَلَدًا

Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]?"

أَطَّلَعَ الغَيبَ أَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحمـٰنِ عَهدًا

Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise?

كَلّا ۚ سَنَكتُبُ ما يَقولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُ مِنَ العَذابِ مَدًّا

No! We will record what he says and extend for him from the punishment extensively.

وَنَرِثُهُ ما يَقولُ وَيَأتينا فَردًا

And We will inherit him [in] what he mentions, and he will come to Us alone.
