[Therein are] gardens of perpetual residence which the Most Merciful has promised His servants in the unseen. Indeed, His promise has ever been eminent.

They will not hear therein any ill speech – only [greetings of] peace – and they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon.

That is Paradise, which We give as inheritance to those of Our servants who were fearing of Allah.

[Gabriel said], "And we [angels] descend not except by the order of your Lord. To Him belongs that before us and that behind us and what is in between. And never is your Lord forgetful –

Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them – so worship Him and have patience for His worship. Do you know of any similarity to Him?"

And man [i.e., the disbeliever] says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive?"

Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was nothing?

So by your Lord, We will surely gather them and the devils; then We will bring them to be present around Hell upon their knees.

Then We will surely extract from every sect those of them who were worst against the Most Merciful in insolence.

Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein.
