It is but a word that he speaketh; and behind them is a barrier until the day when they are raised.” (23:100) 131 00:16:03,700 --> 00:16:14,259 “And when the trumpet is blown there will be no kinship among them that day, nor will they ask of one another.” (23:101) 132 00:16:14,259 --> 00:16:18,259 Nor will they ask about one another. 133 00:16:18,259 --> 00:16:25,860 Then those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds]—it is they who are the successful. 134 00:16:25,860 --> 00:16:40,740 “And those whose scales are light are those who lose their souls, in hell abiding.” (23:103) 135 00:16:40,740 --> 00:16:46,899 “The fire burneth their faces, and they are glum therein.” (23:104) 136 00:16:46,899 --> 00:16:54,980 “(It will be said): Were not My revelations recited unto you, and then ye used to deny them?” (23:105) 137 00:16:55,059 --> 00:17:05,059 “They will say: Our Lord! Our evil fortune conquered us, and we were erring folk.” (23:106) 138 00:17:05,059 --> 00:17:12,180 “Our Lord! Oh, bring us forth from hence! If we return (to evil) then indeed we shall be wrong-doers.” (23:107) 139 00:17:12,180 --> 00:17:16,579 He will say, "Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me." 140 00:17:16,660 --> 00:17:35,619 “Lo! there was a party of My slaves who said: Our Lord! We believe, therefor forgive us and have mercy on us for Thou art Best of all who show mercy;” (23:109) 141 00:17:35,619 --> 00:17:49,380 “But ye chose them for a laughing-stock until they caused you to forget remembrance of Me, while ye laughed at them.” (23:110) 142 00:17:49,380 --> 00:17:58,980 “Lo! I have rewarded them this day forasmuch as they were steadfast in that they, even they, are the triumphant.” (23:111) 143 00:17:58,980 --> 00:18:03,619 “He will say: How long tarried ye in the earth, counting by years?” (23:112) 144 00:18:03,619 --> 00:18:12,589 They will say, "We remained a day or part of a day; ask those who kept count." 145 00:18:12,589 --> 00:18:21,789 “He will say: Ye tarried but a little if ye only knew.” (23:114) 146 00:18:21,789 --> 00:18:30,829 “Deemed ye then that We had created you for naught, and that ye would not be returned unto Us?” (23:115) 147 00:18:30,829 --> 00:18:40,349 “Now Allah be Exalted, the True King! There is no Allah save Him, the Lord of the Throne of Grace.” (23:116) 148 00:18:40,349 --> 00:18:55,630 “He who crieth unto any other god along with Allah hath no proof thereof. His reckoning is only with his Lord. Lo! disbelievers will not be successful.” (23:117) 149 00:18:55,630 --> 00:19:04,589 And say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, for You are the best of those who show mercy."
