Ruku’ 126 ركوع ١٢٦

The gates of Heaven will not be open to those who rejected Our revelations and arrogantly spurned them; even if a thick rope were to pass through the eye of a needle they would not enter the Garden. This is how We punish the guilty-

Hell will be their resting place and their covering, layer upon layer- this is how We punish those who do evil.

But those who believe and do good deeds- and We do not burden any soul with more than it can bear- are the people of the Garden and there they will remain.

We shall have removed all ill feeling from their hearts; streams will flow at their feet. They will say, ‘Praise be to God, who guided us to this: had God not guided us, We would never have found the way. The messengers of our Lord brought the Truth.’ A voice will call out to them, ‘This is the Garden you have been given as your own on account of your deeds.’

The people of the Garden will cry out to the people of the Fire, ‘We have found what our Lord promised us to be true. Have you found what your Lord promised you to be true?’ and they will answer, ‘Yes’. A voice will proclaim from their midst, ‘God’s rejection [hangs] over the evildoers:

those who turned others away from God’s path and tried to make it crooked, those who denied the Hereafter.’

A barrier divides the two groups with men on its heights recognizing each group by their marks: they will call out to the people of the Garden, ‘Peace be with you!’- they will not have entered, but they will be hoping,

and when their glance falls upon the people of the Fire, they will say, ‘Our Lord, do not let us join the evildoers!’-
