Muhammad full verses back to top
Then it will be said to the wrongdoers, “Taste the punishment of eternity. Are you repaid for anything except what you earned?”
They ask you, “Is it true?” Say, “Yes, by my Lord, it is true, and you cannot escape it.”
Say: “I advise you of one thing only: stand up for Allah, in pairs or alone, and reflect. Your companion is not mad.
So be patient, as the messengers of firm resolve were patient. And do not be hasty for them. On the Day they see what they are promised, it will be as if they had not remained but an hour of a day. This is a message. Will any be destroyed except the defiantly ungrateful?
We have certainly tested you, but had it not been for Our mercy, you would have inclined toward them slightly.
Had you done so, We would have made you taste double the punishment in life and double after death.
Have you not seen those who were forbidden secret meetings yet persist in them, whispering about sin, hostility, and defiance of the Messenger? When they approach you, they greet you in a way Allah has not decreed, and they say to themselves, “Why does Allah not punish us for what we say?”
When Our clear verses are recited to them, those who do not expect to meet Us say, “Bring a different Quran or change it.” Say, “It is not for me to change it on my own. I only follow what is revealed to me. If I disobey my Lord, I fear the punishment of a dreadful day.”
They were the ones who disbelieved and barred you from the Sacred Mosque, and prevented the sacrificial animals from reaching their place of offering. Had it not been for believing men and women whom you did not know, lest you unknowingly trample them and become guilty without realizing, it would have been permitted. Allah brings into His mercy whomever He wills.

But Allah has been gracious to us and shielded us from the scorching wind.
Hold tightly to the rope of Allah together and do not be divided. Remember His favour upon you, when you were enemies, He united your hearts, making you brothers by His grace. You were on the brink of destruction, and He saved you.
Surely, in this is a lesson for those who fear the punishment of the Hereafter. That is the Day when all people will be gathered, a Day that will be witnessed.

But whoever turns away and disbelieves
Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

Those who do not believe in the Hereafter have the worst qualities, while Allah has the highest attributes.
Instead, the disbelievers reject it.

They are like those who came just before them, they tasted the consequences of their actions

May he be ruined for how he calculated!

Then he frowned and scowled
Then he turned away in arrogance

Jews full verses back to top
Allah has heard the words of those who said, ‘Allah is poor while we are rich.’ We will record their words
This is the result of what your hands have done; Allah is never unjust to His servants.
The Jews who eagerly listen to lies and to those who never met you. They distort words from their places, saying, “If you are given this ruling, accept it; but if not, beware.” But those whom Allah wills to test, you hold no power over their fate. These are the ones whose hearts Allah does not will to cleanse. For them is disgrace in this life, and in the next, a punishment immense.”
They are habitual listeners to falsehood, devourers of illicit gain. If they come to you for judgment, you may choose to rule between them or turn away. If you turn away, they cannot harm you. But if you judge, do so with justice.

Jews and Christians full verses back to top
Indeed, those who conceal what Allah has revealed in the Book and trade it for a small price consume nothing but fire in their bellies. Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Judgment, nor will He purify them.
But Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their differences.
But those who disbelieve among the People of the Book and the idolaters will dwell in the Fire of Hell, remaining there forever. They are the worst of creatures.
Humiliation is upon them wherever they are found, unless they hold onto a covenant with Allah or a treaty with people. They have earned Allah’s wrath and are burdened with disgrace because they rejected His signs and killed the prophets unjustly. This is because they disobeyed and transgressed.
Hypocrites full verses back to top
O Messenger! Do not grieve over those who rush into disbelief, whether among those who say, “We believe” with their lips while their hearts remain unchanged, or among the Jews who eagerly listen to lies and to those who never met you.
Give news to the hypocrites: a painful punishment awaits them.
Allah has promised the hypocrites and disbelievers the Fire of Hell
Surely, Allah will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers together in Hell.
And He will punish the hypocrites, men and women, and the idolaters, men and women, those who harbour evil thoughts about Allah. Upon them is a turn of misfortune. Allah’s wrath is upon them, He has cursed them, and prepared for them Hell, what a miserable destination.
Those who wait for your downfall, if victory comes to you, they claim allegiance; but if the disbelievers succeed, they say, “Did we not side with you?” Allah will judge between you all on the Day of Resurrection, and He will never grant the disbelievers power over the believers.
On that Day, the hypocrites will say to the believers, “Wait for us, so we may borrow some of your light.” But they will be told, “Go back and seek light elsewhere.” A barrier will be placed between them, with mercy on one side and torment on the other.
They are like Satan when he says to the human, “Disbelieve,” but when he disbelieves, he says, “I am free of you; I fear Allah.”
The end of both is that they will be in the Fire, remaining there forever. That is the reward of the wrongdoers.
Surely, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of Hell, and you will find no helper for them.

On that Day, We will say to Hell, “Are you full?” And it will say, “Are there more?”
The Wives of Noah and Lot full verses back to top
Allah sets forth an example for those who disbelieve: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were married to two of Our righteous servants, but they betrayed them. Their husbands could not help them at all before Allah. It was said, “Enter the Fire with those who enter.”
