وَحَرامٌ عَلىٰ قَريَةٍ أَهلَكناها أَنَّهُم لا يَرجِعونَ

And there is prohibition upon [the people of] a city which We have destroyed that they will [ever] return

حَتّىٰ إِذا فُتِحَت يَأجوجُ وَمَأجوجُ وَهُم مِن كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَنسِلونَ

Until when [the dam of] Gog and Magog has been opened and they, from every elevation, descend

وَاقتَرَبَ الوَعدُ الحَقُّ فَإِذا هِيَ شاخِصَةٌ أَبصارُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا يا وَيلَنا قَد كُنّا في غَفلَةٍ مِن هـٰذا بَل كُنّا ظالِمينَ

And [when] the true promise has approached; then suddenly the eyes of those who disbelieved will be staring [in horror, while they say], "O woe to us; we had been unmindful of this; rather, we were wrongdoers."

إِنَّكُم وَما تَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ أَنتُم لَها وارِدونَ

Indeed, you [disbelievers] and what you worship other than Allah are the firewood of Hell. You will be coming to [enter] it.

لَو كانَ هـٰؤُلاءِ آلِهَةً ما وَرَدوها ۖ وَكُلٌّ فيها خالِدونَ

Had these [false deities] been [actual] gods, they would not have come to it, but all are eternal therein.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ سَبَقَت لَهُم مِنَّا الحُسنىٰ أُولـٰئِكَ عَنها مُبعَدونَ

Indeed, those for whom the best [reward] has preceded from Us - they are from it far removed.

لا يَسمَعونَ حَسيسَها ۖ وَهُم في مَا اشتَهَت أَنفُسُهُم خالِدونَ

They will not hear its sound, while they are, in that which their souls desire, abiding eternally.

لا يَحزُنُهُمُ الفَزَعُ الأَكبَرُ وَتَتَلَقّاهُمُ المَلائِكَةُ هـٰذا يَومُكُمُ الَّذي كُنتُم توعَدونَ

They will not be grieved by the greatest terror, and the angels will meet them, [saying], "This is your Day which you have been promised" -

يَومَ نَطوِي السَّماءَ كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلكُتُبِ ۚ كَما بَدَأنا أَوَّلَ خَلقٍ نُعيدُهُ ۚ وَعدًا عَلَينا ۚ إِنّا كُنّا فاعِلينَ

The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.

وَلَقَد كَتَبنا فِي الزَّبورِ مِن بَعدِ الذِّكرِ أَنَّ الأَرضَ يَرِثُها عِبادِيَ الصّالِحونَ

And We have already written in the book [of Psalms] after the [previous] mention that the land [of Paradise] is inherited by My righteous servants.
