وَمَا
جَعَلْنَا
عِدَّتَهُمْ
إِلَّا
فِتْنَةًۭ
لِّلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا۟
لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ

أُوتُوا۟
ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ

ٱلَّذِينَ

٣١
none other than angels appointed by Us to guard Hellfire- and We have made their number a test for the disbelievers. So those who have been given the Scripture will be certain and those who believe will have their faith increased: neither those who have been given the Scripture nor the believers will have any doubts, but the sick at heart and the disbelievers will say, ‘What could God mean by this description?’ God leaves whoever He will to stray and guides whoever He will- no one knows your Lord’s forces except Him- this [description] is a warning to mortals.
