Then lift up the eyes again twice; thy sight will recoil to thee dazzled and dim.
Moreover, we have decked the lower heaven with lamps, and have made them for pelting the devils, and we have prepared for them the torment of the flame.
And for those who disbelieve in their Lord, the torment of Hell: and evil the journey to it!
When they shall be cast into it, they shall hark to its braying as it boileth;—
It shall well-nigh burst with fury! Every time a troop is thrown into it, its keepers shall ask them, “Did not a warner come to you?”
They shall say, “Yea! a warner came to us; but we took him for a liar, and said, ‘God hath not sent down anything. Verily, ye are only in great error.’”
And they shall say, “Had we but hearkened or understood, we had not been among the people of the flame!”
And they will confess their sins: so a curse on the people of the flame!
Verily they who fear their Lord in secret, for them is forgiveness—a great reward.
And whether ye hide your speech, or say it aloud, verily He knoweth well the secrets of the breast!
