believer--these shall enter paradise; and be provided therein without count. And O my people! how is it that I bid you to salvation, but that ye bid me to the Fire? Ye call me to disbelieve in God and join to Him that of which I have no knowledge: and I call you to the Mighty, the Very Forgiving. There is no doubt but that those ye call me to are not to be called on in this world or in the world to come, and that we shall return unto God, and the transgressors shall be inmates of the Fire. Then shall ye call to mind what I said to you: and I commit my case to God: verily God regardeth His servants.” So God kept him from the evil which they devised, and there encompassed the people of Pharaoh the woeful torment-- The Fire, to which they shall be exposed morning and evening; and on the day when the Hour cometh--“Enter, ye people of Pharaoh, into the sorest torment.” And when they shall wrangle together in the fire, the feeble shall say to those who were puffed up, “Verily we followed you: will ye then remove from us aught of the Fire?” And those who were puffed up will say, “Verily we are all in it. Behold! God hath judged between His servants.” And they who are in the Fire shall say to the keepers of Hell, “Call on your Lord, that He remit us one day from the torment.” The keepers shall say, “Did there not come to you your apostles with manifestations?” They shall say, “Yea.” The keepers shall say, “Call then,” but the cry of the unbelievers shall be vain. Verily we will help our apostles and those who believe, both in the life of this world and on the day when the witness shall stand forth;-- A day whereon the excuse of the wicked shall not profit them; but they shall have the curse and the abode of woe. And of old gave we Moses the guidance, and the Children of Israel made we heirs of the Book,--a guidance and a warning to those who have understanding. Be patient, therefore; verily the promise of God is true; and seek pardon for thy sins, and magnify the praises of thy Lord at eve and early morn. Verily those who dispute about the signs of God, without proof reaching them, there is naught in their breasts but pride: and they shall not win. But seek refuge with God; verily, He heareth and seeth.
