Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

27 We will surely make the faithless taste
a severe punishment,
and We will surely requite them
by the worst of what they used to do.
28 That is the requital of the enemies of Allah
— the Fire!
In it they will have an everlasting abode,
as a requital for their impugning Our signs.
29 The faithless will say, ‘Our Lord!
Show us those who led us astray
from among jinn and humans
so that we may trample them under our feet,
so that they may be among the lowermost!’
30 Indeed those who say, ‘Our Lord is Allah!’
and then remain steadfast,
the angels descend upon them,
[saying,] ‘Do not fear, nor be grieved!
Receive the good news of the paradise
which you have been promised.
31 We are your friends in the life of this world
and in the Hereafter,
and you will have in it whatever your souls desire,
and you will have in it whatever you ask for,
32 as a hospitality from One all-forgiving, all-merciful.’
33 Who has a better call
than him who summons to Allah
and acts righteously
and says, ‘Indeed I am one of the muslims’?
34 Good and evil [conduct] are not equal.¹
