Verily, those who hope not for their meeting with Us, but are
pleased and satisfied with the life of the present world, and those who are
heedless of Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations,
etc.), (7) Those, their abode will be the Fire, because of what they used
to earn. (8) Verily, those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, their
Lord will guide them through their Faith; under them will flow rivers in the
Gardens of Delight (Paradise). (9) Their way of request
therein will be Subhânaka Allâhumma (Glory to You, O Allâh!) and Salâm (peace,
safety from evil) will be their greetings therein (Paradise)!
and the close of their request will be: Al-Hamdu Lillâhi Rabbil-'Alamîn [All
the praises and thanks are to Allâh, the Lord of 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all
that exists)]. (10) And were Allâh to hasten for mankind the evil (they invoke for
themselves and for their children, while in a state of anger) as He hastens for
them the good (they invoke) then they would have been ruined. So We leave those
who expect not their meeting with Us, in their trespasses, wandering blindly in
distraction. (Tafsir At-Tabarî). (11) And when harm touches man, he invokes Us,
lying down on his side, or sitting or standing. But when We have removed his
harm from him, he passes on as if he had never invoked Us for a harm that
touched him! Thus it is made fair-seeming to the Musrifûn[] that which they
used to do. (12) And indeed, We destroyed generations before you, when they did
wrong while their Messengers came to them with clear proofs, but they were not
such as to believe! Thus do We requite the people who are Mujrimûn
(disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals). (13) Then We made you
successors after them, generations after generations in the land, that We might
see how you would work. (14)
