[Hadeed 57:12] The day when you will see the believing men and believing women, that their light runs before them and on their right - it being said to them, “This day, the best tidings for you are the Gardens beneath which rivers flow - abide in it forever; this is the greatest success.” [Hadeed 57:13] The day when hypocrite men and hypocrite women will say to the Muslims, “Look mercifully towards us, so that we may gain some of your light!”; it will be said to them, “Turn back, search light over there!”; so they will turn around, whereupon a wall will be erected between them, in which is a gate; inside the gate is mercy, and on the outer side is the punishment. [Hadeed 57:14] The hypocrites will call out to the Muslims, “Were we not with you?”; they will answer, “Yes you were, why not? But you had put your souls into trial, and you used to await misfortune for the Muslims, and you doubted, and false hopes deceived you until Allah’s command came - and the big cheat had made you conceited towards the command of Allah.” [Hadeed 57:15] “So this day no ransom is to be taken from you nor from the declared disbelievers; your destination is the fire; that is your companion; and what a wretched outcome!” [Hadeed 57:16] Has not the time come for the believers to surrender their hearts to Allah’s remembrance and to this truth that has come down? And do not be like those who were earlier given the Book(s) and when a long term passed over them, their hearts became hardened; and many of them are sinners. [Hadeed 57:17] Know that it is Allah Who revives the earth after its death; We have indeed illustrated the signs for you, for you to understand.
[Hadeed
57:18] Indeed the charity-giving men and women, and those who lend an excellent
loan to Allah – for them is double, and for them is an honourable reward.
