قل كل يعمل على شاكلته فربكم أعلم بمن هو أهدى سبيلا

Say: "Everyone acts according to his own disposition: But your Lord knows best who it is that is best guided on the Way."

Yusuf Ali
It is he whom Allah guides, that is on true Guidance; but he whom He leaves astray - for such wilt thou find no protector besides Him. On the Day of Judgment We shall gather, them together, prone on their faces, blind, dumb, and deaf: their abode will be Hell: every time it shows abatement, We shall increase from them the fierceness of the Fire.
That is their recompense, because they rejected Our signs, and said, "When we are reduced to bones and broken dust, should we really be raised up (to be) a new Creation?"
