Chapter 23, Page 348, Juz 18

99. When death approaches any of them, they cry, “My Lord! Let me go back, 100. so I may do good in what I left behind.” Never! It is only a ˹useless˺ appeal they make. And there is a barrier behind them until the Day they are resurrected. 101. Then, when the Trumpet will be blown, there will be no kinship between them on that Day, nor will they ˹even care to˺ ask about one another. 102. As for those whose scale is heavy ˹with good deeds˺, it is they who will be successful. 103. But those whose scale is light, they will have doomed themselves, staying in Hell forever. 104. The Fire will burn their faces, leaving them deformed. 105. ˹It will be said,˺ “Were My revelations not recited to you, but you used to deny them?” 106. They will cry, “Our Lord! Our ill-fate took hold of us, so we became a misguided people. 107. Our Lord! Take us out of this ˹Fire˺. Then if we ever return ˹to denial˺, we will truly be wrongdoers.” 108. Allah will respond, “Be despised in there! Do not ˹ever˺ plead with Me ˹again˺! 109. Indeed, there was a group of My servants who used to pray, ‘Our Lord! We have believed, so forgive us and have mercy on us, for You are the best of those who show mercy,’ 110. but you were ˹so busy˺ making fun of them that it made you forget My remembrance. And you used to laugh at them. 111. Today I have indeed rewarded them for their perseverance: they are certainly the triumphant.”
