But behind them shall be a barrier, until the day when they shall be raised again.
And when the trumpet shall be sounded, the ties of kindred between them shall cease on that day; neither shall they ask each other's help.
They whose balances shall be heavy, shall be the blest.
But they whose balances shall be light,-these are they who shall lose their souls, abiding in hell for ever:
The fire shall scorch their faces, and their lips shall quiver therein:-
-"What! Were not my signs rehearsed unto you? and did ye not treat them as lies?"
They shall say, "O our Lord! our ill-fortune prevailed against us, and we became an erring people.
O our Lord! Bring us forth hence: if we go back again to our sins, we shall indeed be evil doers."
He will say; "Be ye driven down into it; and, address me not."
A part truly of my servants was there, who said, "O our Lord! we believe: forgive us, then, and be merciful to us, for of the merciful art thou the best."
