And the dwellers of Paradise will
call out to the dwellers of the Fire (saying): "We have indeed found true
what our Lord had promised us; have you also found true, what your Lord promised (warnings)?" They shall say:
"Yes." Then a crier will proclaim between them: "The Curse of
Allâh is on the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers)," (44) Those who hindered
(men) from the Path of Allâh, and would seek to make it crooked, and they were
disbelievers in the Hereafter. (45) And between them will be a (barrier) screen and
on Al-A'râf (a wall with elevated places) will be men (whose good and evil
deeds would be equal in scale), who would recognise all (of the Paradise and
Hell people), by their marks (the dwellers of Paradise by their white faces and
the dwellers of Hell by their black faces), they will call out to the dwellers
of Paradise, "Salâmun 'Alaikûm" (peace be on you), and at that time
they (men on Al-A'râf) will not yet have entered it (Paradise), but they will
hope to enter (it) with certainty. (46) And when their eyes will be turned towards
the dwellers of the Fire, they will say: "Our Lord! Place us not with the
people who are Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers)." (47) And the men on
Al-A'râf[] (the wall) will call unto the men whom they would recognise by their
marks, saying: "Of what benefit to you were your great numbers (and hoards
of wealth), and your arrogance (against Faith)?" (48) Are they those, of
whom you swore that Allâh would never show them mercy. (Behold! It has been
said to them): "Enter Paradise, no fear
shall be on you, nor shall you grieve." (49) And the dwellers of
the Fire will call to the dwellers of Paradise:
"Pour on us some water or anything that Allâh has provided you with."
They will say: "Both (water and provision) Allâh has forbidden to the
disbelievers." (50) "Who took their religion as an amusement and play,
and the life of the world deceived them." So this Day We shall forget them
as they forgot their meeting of this Day, and as they used to reject Our Ayât
(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations). (51)
