31 And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.

31 And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.

46 And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

47 Hatta atana alyaqeenu

47 Till death overtook us.

47 Until there came to us the certainty."

48 Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena

48 So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.

48 So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.

49 Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena

49 What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition

49 Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

50 As if they were alarmed donkeys

52 Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan

55 Faman shaa thakarahu

55 So whoever pleases may mind it.

55 Then whoever wills will remember it.

56 Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati

56 And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.

56 And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
