91. No son (or offspring or children) did Allah beget, nor is there any ilah (god) along with Him; (if there had been many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allah above all that they attribute to Him!
   
 
92. All-Knower of the unseen and the seen! Exalted be He over all that they associate as partners to Him!
   
 
93. Say [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]: " My Lord! If You would show me that with which they are threatened (torment),
   
 
94. "My Lord! Then (save me from Your Punishment), and put me not amongst the people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doing)."
   
 
95. And indeed We are Able to show you [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] that with which We have threatened them.
   
 
96. Repel evil with that which is better. We are Best-Acquainted with the things they utter.
   
 
97. And say: "My Lord! I seek refuge with You from the whisperings (suggestions) of the Shayatin (devils).
   
 
98. "And I seek refuge with You, My Lord! lest they may attend (or come near) me."
   
 
99. Until, when death comes to one of them (those who join partners with Allah), he says: "My Lord! Send me back,
   
 
100. "So that I may do good in that which I have left behind!" No! It is but a word that he speaks, and behind them is Barzakh (a barrier) until the Day when they will be resurrected.
   
 
101. Then, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another.
   
 
102. Then, those whose scales (of good deeds) are heavy, - these, they are the successful.
   
 
103. And those whose scales (of good deeds) are light, they are those who lose their ownselves, in Hell will they abide.
   
 
104. The Fire will burn their faces, and therein they will grin, with displaced lips (disfigured).
   
 
105. "Were not My Verses (this Qur-an) recited to you, and then you used to deny them?"
   
 
106. They will say: "Our Lord! Our wretchedness overcame us, and we were (an) erring people.
   
 
107. "Our Lord! Bring us out of this; if ever we return (to evil), then indeed we shall be
Zalimun:
(polytheists, oppressors, unjust, and wrong-doers, etc.)."
   
 
108. He (Allah) will say: "Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!"
   
 
109. Verily! There was a party of My slaves, who used to say: "Our Lord! We believe, so forgive us, and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of all who show mercy!"
   
 
110. But you took them for a laughingstock, so much so that they made you forget My Remembrance while you used to laugh at them!
   
 
111. Verily! I have rewarded them this Day for their patience, they are indeed the ones that are successful.
   
 
112. He (Allah) will say: "What number of years did you stay on earth?"
   
 
113. They will say: "We stayed a day or part of a day. Ask of those who keep account."
   
 
114. He (Allah) will say: "You stayed not but a little, if you had only known!
   
 
115. "Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose), and that you would not be brought back to Us?"
   
 
116. So Exalted be Allah, the True King, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!
   
 
117. And whoever invokes (or worships), besides Allah, any other ilah (god), of whom he has no proof, then his reckoning is only with his Lord. Surely! Al-Kafirun (the disbelievers in Allah and in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists, pagans, idolaters, etc.) will not be successful.
   
 
118. And say [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]: "My Lord! Forgive and have mercy, for You are the Best of those who show mercy!"
