17 So no soul knows what refreshment of the eyes is hidden for them: a reward for what they did. |
18 Is he then, who is a believer, like him who is a transgressor? They are not equal. |
19 As for those who believe and do good deeds, for them are Gardens, a refuge — an entertainment for what they did. |
20 And as for those who transgress, their refuge is the Fire. Whenever they desire to go forth from it, they are brought back into it, and it is said to them: Taste the chastisement of the Fire, which you called a lie. |
21 And certainly We will make them taste the nearer punishment before the greater chastisement, that haply they may turn. |
22 And who is more iniquitous than he who is reminded of the messages of his Lord, then he turns away from them? Surely We exact retribution from the guilty. |
23 And We indeed gave Moses the Book — so doubt not the meeting with Him — and We made it a guide for the Children of Israel. |
24 And We made from among them leaders to guide by Our command when they were patient. And they were certain of Our messages. |
25 Surely thy Lord will judge between them on the day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differed. |
26 Is it not clear to them, how many of the generations, in whose abodes they go about, We destroyed before them? Surely there are signs in this. Will they not then hear? |
27 See they not that We drive the water to a land having no herbage, then We bring forth thereby seed-produce, of which their cattle and they themselves eat. Will they not then see? |
28 And they say: When will this victory come, if you are truthful? |
29 Say: On the day of victory the faith of those who (now) disbelieve will not profit them, nor will they be respited. |
30 So turn away from them and wait, surely they too are waiting. |
