ٱلَّذِينَ كَانَتۡ أَعۡيُنُهُمۡ فِي غِطَآءٍ عَن ذِكۡرِي وَكَانُواْ لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ سَمۡعًا ١٠١

أَفَحَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَن يَتَّخِذُواْ عِبَادِي مِن دُونِيٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَۚ إِنَّآ أَعۡتَدۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ نُزُلٗا ١٠٢
Afahasibal-ladhīna kafarū an yattakhidhū 'ibādī min dūnī awliyā'a innā a'tadnā jahannama lil-kāfirīna nuzulā
Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants instead of Me as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.

Qul hal nunabbi'ukum bil-akhsarīna a'mālā
Say, [O Muḥammad], "Shall we [believers] inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds?

Alladhīna dalla sa'yuhum fil-hayawātid-dunyā wahum yahsabūna annahum yuhsinūna sun'ā
[They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work."
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَلِقَآئِهِۦ فَحَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ فَلَا نُقِيمُ لَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَزۡنٗا ١٠٥
Ulā'ikal-ladhīna kafarū bi'āyāti rabbihim waliqā'ihī fahabitat a'māluhum falā nuqīmu lahum yawmal-qiyāmati waznā
Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any weight [i.e., importance].
ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآؤُهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُ بِمَا كَفَرُواْ وَٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ ءَايَٰتِي وَرُسُلِي هُزُوًا ١٠٦
Dhālika jazā'uhum jahannamu bimā kafarū wattakhadhū āyātī warusulī huzuwā
That is their recompense - Hell - for what they denied and [because] they took My signs and My messengers in ridicule.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ كَانَتۡ لَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتُ ٱلۡفِرۡدَوۡسِ نُزُلًا ١٠٧

Khālidīna fīhā lā yabghūna 'anhā hiwalā
Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.
قُل لَّوۡ كَانَ ٱلۡبَحۡرُ مِدَادٗا لِّكَلِمَٰتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ ٱلۡبَحۡرُ قَبۡلَ أَن تَنفَدَ كَلِمَٰتُ رَبِّي وَلَوۡ جِئۡنَا بِمِثۡلِهِۦ مَدَدٗا ١٠٩
Qul law kānal-bahru midādal likalimāti rabbī lanafidal-bahru qabla an tanfada kalimātu rabbī walaw ji'nā bimithlihī madadā

Qul innamā ana basharum mithlukum yūhā ilayya annamā ilāhukum ilāhun wāhidun faman kāna yarjū liqā'a rabbihī falya'mal 'amalan sālihan walā yushrik bi'ibādati rabbihī ahadā
Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."
