<strong>The</strong> Quran 45: 29<br />

Every community will be summoned to its record: ‘Today you will<br />

be repaid for what you did. 29 Here is Our record that tells the truth<br />

about you: We have been recording everything you do.’ 30 Those who<br />

believed and did good deeds will be admitted by their Lord into His<br />

mercy – that is the clearest triumph – 31 but those who disbelieved<br />

[will be asked]: ‘When My revelations were recited to you, were you<br />

not arrogant and persistent in wicked deeds? 32 When it was said to<br />

you, “God’s promise is true: there is no doubt about the Hour,” did<br />

you not reply, “We know nothing of the Hour. This is only conjecture<br />

in our opinion. We are not convinced”?’<br />

33 <strong>The</strong> evil of their actions will [then] become clear to them. <strong>The</strong><br />

punishment they mocked will engulf them. 34 It will be said, ‘Today<br />

We shall ignore you just as you ignored your appointment with this<br />

Day. <strong>The</strong> Fire will be your home and no one will help you, 35 because<br />

you received God’s revelations with ridicule and were deceived by<br />

worldly life.’ <strong>The</strong>y will not be brought out of the Fire on that Day,<br />

nor will they be given the chance to make amends.<br />

36 So praise be to God, Lord of the heavens and earth, Lord of the<br />

worlds. 37 True greatness in the heavens and the earth is rightfully<br />

His: He is the Mighty, the Wise.
