On the day you see the believing men and believing women, their light proceeding before them and on their right [it will be said], “Your good tidings today are [of] gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein you will abide eternally.” That is what is the great attainment.
On the [same] day the hypocrite men and women will say to those who believed, “Wait for us that we may acquire some of your light.”
It will be said, “Go back behind you and seek light.”
And a wall will be placed between them with a door, its interior containing mercy, but on the outside of it is torment.
The hypocrites will call to the believers, “Were we not with you?”
They will say, “Yes, but you afflicted yourselves and awaited [misfortune for us] and doubted, and wishful thinking deluded you until there came the command of Allāh. And the deceiver deceived you concerning Allāh. So today no ransom will be taken from you or from those who disbelieved. Your refuge is the fire."
["So today no ransom will be taken from you or from those who disbelieved. Your refuge is the fire. It is most worthy of you, and wretched is the destination.”]
["So today no ransom will be taken from you or from those who disbelieved. Your refuge is the fire. It is most worthy of you, and wretched is the destination.”]
Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allāh and what has come down to them of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passes over them, so their hearts heartened; and many of them are defiantly disobedient.
Know that Allāh gives life to the earth after its death. Indeed, We have made the signs clear for you to understand.
The men who give in charity and the women who give in charity and set apart for Allāh a goodly portion, it will be doubled for them, and theirs is a generous reward.
[al-Qur’an, translation chapter 57 verses 12-18]
