And in the Qur'an (we have)...

And in the Qur'an (we have): “And Thy Lord shall come, while the angels shall be arranged rank on rank” (Qur'an 89:22) . This means that “the command” of Thy Lord shall come. And in the Qur'an (we have): "Nay verily, from their Lord on that day are they veiled " (Qur'an 83:15). That is, "from the reward (thawab) of their Lord".

And in the Qur'an (we have): "What do they expect but that Allah should come unto them in the shadows (zulal) of a cloud" (Qur'an 2:210) .[^18] That is, "the punishment of Allah".And in the Qur'an (we have): “Faces on that day shall be bright (nadira), gazing (nazira) on their Lord” (Qur'an 75:22-23) That means (the faces) will be lighted up ( mushriqa ), looking at their Lord's reward. And in the Qur'an (we have): “And he on whom my wrath descends is lost” (Qur'an 20:81) .

Now the wrath of Allah is His punishment and His pleasure is His reward. And (we have) in the Qur'an: “Thou knowest what is in my soul, but I know not what is in Thy soul” (Qur'an 5:116) .[^19] That is, Thou hast knowledge of my innermost secrets, but I have no knowledge of Thy secrets. And in the Qur'an (we have): “Allah biddeth you beware of Himself (nafs)” (Qur'an 3:28) . By nafs He means His revenge.

And (we have) in the Qur'an: “Verily Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet” (Qur'an 33:56) . Also: “He it is who blesseth you, and His angels (bless you)” (Qur'an 33:43) . Now salat from Allah means His mercy; and ( salat ) from angels is (their) asking for (your) pardon and purification[^20]; and ( salat ) from men is prayer ( du'a ).

We have in the Qur'an: “And they (the unbelievers or Jews) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them), and Allah is the best of schemers” (Qur'an 3:54) . Also: “Verily the hypocrites seek to beguile Allah, but it is, Allah Who beguiles them” [^21] (Qur'an 4:142) . As well as: “Allah doth mock them” (Qur'an 2:15) . And we have: “Allah will deride at (sakhira) them “(Qur'an 9:79) . And we have: “They have forgotten Allah, so He hath forgotten them” (9:67).

And the meaning of all this is that He, the Glorious and Mighty, shall requite them for their scheming (makr), beguiling (mukhada'a) mockery (istihza'), and forgetfulness (nisyan); and that is, He will make them forget themselves, as He, the Mighty and Glorious, has said: “And be not ye as those who forgot Allah, therefore He caused them to forget their souls” (Qur'an 59:19) .
