The Quran 21: 101
the disbelievers will be groaning piteously, but the [idols] will hear
nothing.
101 But those for whom We have decreed Paradise will be kept far
from Hell – 102 they will not hear a murmur from it – and endlessly
they will enjoy everything their souls desire. 103 They will have no
fear of the great Terror: a the angels will receive them with the
words, ‘This is the Day you were promised!’ 104 On that Day, We shall
roll up the skies as a writer rolls up [his] scrolls. We shall reproduce
creation just as We produced it the first time: this is Our binding
promise. We shall certainly do all these things.
105 We wrote in the Psalms, as We did in [earlier] Scripture: ‘My
righteous servants will inherit the earth.’ 106 There truly is a message
in this for the servants of God! 107 It was only as a mercy that We sent
you [Prophet] to all people. b 108 Say, ‘What is revealed to me is that
your God is one God – will you submit to Him?’ 109 But if they turn
away, say, ‘I have proclaimed the message fairly to you all. I do not
know whether the judgement you are promised is near or far, 110 but
He knows what you reveal and conceal. 111 I do not know: this [time]
may well be a test for you, and enjoyment for a while.’ 112 He said, c
‘My Lord, pass the true judgement.’ And, ‘Our Lord is the Lord of
Mercy. We seek His assistance against what you [disbelievers] say.’
a The Day of Judgement.
b Or ‘We sent you [Prophet] only as a mercy to all people’.
c See note to verse 4.
