˹He is the˺ Lord of the heavens, and the earth, and everything in between. So worship Him ˹alone˺, and be steadfast in His worship. Do you know of anyone equal to Him ˹in His attributes˺?”
19:65
Yet ˹some˺ people ask ˹mockingly˺, “After I die, will I really be raised to life again?”
19:66
Do ˹such˺ people not remember that We created them before, when they were nothing?
19:67
By your Lord ˹O Prophet˺! We will surely gather them along with the devils, and then set them around Hell on their knees.
19:68
Then We will certainly begin by dragging out of every group the ones most defiant to the Most Compassionate.
19:69
And We truly know best who is most deserving of burning in it.
19:70
There is none of you who will not pass over it.1 ˹This is˺ a decree your Lord must fulfil.
19:71
Then We will deliver those who were devout, leaving the wrongdoers there on their knees.
19:72
When Our clear revelations are recited to them, the disbelievers ask the believers ˹mockingly˺, “Which of the two of us is better in status and superior in assembly?”
19:73
˹Imagine, O Prophet˺ how many peoples We have destroyed before them, who were far better in luxury and splendour!
19:74
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Whoever is ˹entrenched˺ in misguidance, the Most Compassionate will allow them plenty of time, until—behold!—they face what they are threatened with: either the torment or the Hour. Only then will they realize who is worse in position and inferior in manpower.”
19:75
And Allah increases in guidance those who are ˹rightly˺ guided. And the everlasting good deeds are far better with your Lord in reward and in outcome.1
19:76
