But indeed...
But indeed, for the transgressors is an evil place of return -
38:56 جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَوْنَهَا فَبِئْسَ ٱلْمِهَادُ
— Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the resting place. 38:57 هَـٰذَا فَلْيَذُوقُوهُ حَمِيمٌ وَغَسَّاقٌ
— This - so let them taste it - is scalding water and [foul] purulence. 38:58 وَءَاخَرُ مِن شَكْلِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجٌ
— And other [punishments] of its type [in various] kinds. 38:59 هَـٰذَا فَوْجٌ مُّقْتَحِمٌ مَّعَكُمْ ۖ لَا مَرْحَبًۢا بِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ صَالُوا۟ ٱلنَّارِ
●[Its inhabitants will say], "This is a company bursting in with you. No welcome for them. Indeed, they will burn in the Fire."
38:60 قَالُوا۟ بَلْ أَنتُمْ لَا مَرْحَبًۢا بِكُمْ ۖ أَنتُمْ قَدَّمْتُمُوهُ لَنَا ۖ فَبِئْسَ ٱلْقَرَارُ
●They will say, "Nor you! No welcome for you. You, [our leaders], brought this upon us, and wretched is the settlement."
38:61 قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا مَن قَدَّمَ لَنَا هَـٰذَا فَزِدْهُ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا فِى ٱلنَّارِ
●They will say, "Our Lord, whoever brought this upon us - increase for him double punishment in the Fire."
38:62 وَقَالُوا۟ مَا لَنَا لَا نَرَىٰ رِجَالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ
●And they will say, "Why do we not see men whom we used to count among the worst? 1
38:63 أَتَّخَذْنَـٰهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا أَمْ زَاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ ٱلْأَبْصَـٰرُ
●Is it [because] we took them in ridicule, or has [our] vision turned away from them?"
38:64 إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَحَقٌّ تَخَاصُمُ أَهْلِ ٱلنَّارِ
— Indeed, that is truth [i.e., reality] - the quarreling of the people of the Fire. 38:65 قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ مُنذِرٌ ۖ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَـٰهٍ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ
●Say, [O Muḥammad], "I am only a warner, and there is not any deity except Allāh, the One, the Prevailing, 1
38:66 رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفَّـٰرُ
●Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Exalted in Might, 1 the Perpetual Forgiver." 2
38:67 قُلْ هُوَ نَبَؤٌا۟ عَظِيمٌ
38:68 أَنتُمْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضُونَ
38:69 مَا كَانَ لِىَ مِنْ عِلْمٍۭ بِٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰٓ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ
●I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly [of angels] when they were disputing [the creation of Adam].
