"Were not My Verses (this Qur'ân) recited to you, and then you used to deny them?" (105) They will say: "Our Lord! Our wretchedness overcame us, and we were (an) erring people. (106) "Our Lord! Bring us out of this; if ever we return (to evil), then indeed we shall be Zâlimûn: (polytheists, oppressors, unjust, and wrong-doers)." (107) He (Allâh) will say: "Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!" (108) Verily! there was a party of My slaves, who used to say: "Our Lord! We believe, so forgive us, and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of all who show mercy!" (109) But you took them for a laughingstock, so much so that they made you forget My Remembrance while you used to laugh at them! (110) Verily! I have rewarded them this Day for their patience, they are indeed the ones that are successful. (111) He (Allâh) will say: "What number of years did you stay on earth?" (112) They will say: "We stayed a day or part of a day. Ask of those who keep account." (113) He (Allâh) will say: "You stayed not but a little, if you had only known! (114) "Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose), and that you would not be brought back to Us?" (115) So Exalted is Allâh, the True King, Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne! (116) And whoever invokes (or worships), besides Allâh, any other ilâh (god), of whom he has no proof, then his reckoning is only with his Lord. Surely! Al-Kâfirûn (the disbelievers in Allâh and in the Oneness of Allâh, polytheists, pagans, idolaters) will not be successful (117) And say (O Muhammad SAW): "My Lord! Forgive and have mercy, for You are the Best of those who show mercy!" (118)
