Whatever ˹pleasure˺ you have been given is no more than ˹a fleeting˺ enjoyment and adornment of this worldly life. But what is with Allah is far better and more lasting. Will you not then understand? 28:60
Can those to whom We have made a fine promise—which they will see fulfilled—be like those who We have allowed to enjoy the pleasures of this worldly life, but on the Day of Judgment will be brought ˹for punishment˺? 28:61
˹Watch for˺ the Day He will call to them, “Where are those you claimed were My associate-gods?” 28:62
Those ˹misleaders˺ against whom the decree ˹of torment˺ is justified will cry, “Our Lord! These ˹followers˺ are the ones we caused to deviate. We led them into deviance, for we ourselves were deviant. We disassociate ourselves ˹from them˺ before You. It was not us that they used to worship.” 28:63
It will be said ˹to the disbelievers˺, “Call upon your associate-gods ˹for help˺.” So they will call them, but will receive no response. And they will face the punishment, wishing they had been ˹rightly˺ guided! 28:64
And ˹watch for˺ the Day He will call to them, asking, “What response did you give to the messengers?” 28:65
They will be too dumbstruck on that Day to ask one another ˹for answers˺. 28:66
As for those who repent, believe, and do good ˹in this world˺, it is right to hope that they will be among the successful. 28:67
Your Lord creates and chooses whatever He wills—the choice is not theirs. Glorified and Exalted is Allah above what they associate ˹with Him˺! 28:68
And your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they reveal. 28:69
He is Allah. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. All praise belongs to Him in this life and the next. All authority is His. And to Him you will ˹all˺ be returned. 28:70
