Yusuf Ali

39 The Abode will be Hell - Fire;

Transliteration

39 Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa

Saheeh International

39 Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

Yusuf Ali

Transliteration

40 Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa

Saheeh International

41 Their abode will be the Garden.

Transliteration

41 Fainna aljannata hiya almawa

Saheeh International

Saheeh International
