You [disbelievers] and what you worship instead of God will be fuel for Hell: that is where you will go-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

if these [idols] had been real gods they would not have gone there- you will all stay there.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

There the disbelievers will be groaning piteously, but the [idols] will hear nothing.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

but He knows what you reveal and conceal.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

I do not know: this [time] may well be a test for you, and enjoyment for a while.’
