Then no! You are going to know.
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona

Nay, but ye will come to know!
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
كلا لو تعلمون علم اليقين

You will surely see the Hellfire.
Latarawunna aljaheema
لترون الجحيم

ثم لتسألن يومئذ عن النعيم
Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
