Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them,
so worship Him (Alone) and be constant and patient in His worship. Do you know
of any who is similar to Him? (of course none is similar or coequal or
comparable to Him, and He has none as partner with Him). [There is nothing like
unto Him and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer][]. (65) And man (the
disbeliever) says: "When I am dead, shall I then be raised up alive?"
(66) Does not man remember
that We created him before, while he was nothing? (67) So by your Lord, surely,
We shall gather them together, and (also) the Shayâtin (devils) (with them),
then We shall bring them round Hell on their knees. (68) Then indeed We shall
drag out from every sect all those who were worst in obstinate rebellion
against the Most Gracious (Allâh). (69) Then, verily, We know best those who are most
worthy of being burnt therein. (70) There is not one of you but will pass over it
(Hell); this is with your Lord; a Decree which must be accomplished[] (71) Then We shall save
those who use to fear Allâh and were dutiful to Him. And We shall leave the
Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers) therein (humbled) to their knees (in
Hell). (72) And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, those who
disbelieve (the rich and strong among the pagans of Quraish who live a life of
luxury) say to those who believe (the weak, poor companions of Prophet Muhammad
SAW who have a hard life): "Which of the two groups (i.e. believers or
disbelievers) is best in (point of) position and as regards station (place of
council for consultation)." (73) And how many a generation (past nations) have
We destroyed before them, who were better in wealth, goods and outward
appearance? (74) Say (O Muhammad SAW) whoever is in error, the Most Gracious
(Allâh) will extend (the rope) to him, until, when they see that which they
were promised, either the torment or the Hour, they will come to know who is
worst in position, and who is weaker in forces. [This is the answer to the
question in Verse No.19:73] (75) And Allâh increases in guidance those who walk aright.
And the righteous good deeds that last, are better with your Lord, for reward
and better for resort. (76)
