And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is disease [i.e., hypocrisy] and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allāh intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allāh send astray whom He wills and guide whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And it [i.e., mention of the Fire] is not but a reminder to humanity.

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

وَ كُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوۡمِ الدِّيۡنِۙ‏ ٤٦

Wa kunnaa nukazzibu bi yawmid Deen

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

حَتّٰٓى اَتٰٮنَا الۡيَقِيۡنُؕ‏ ٤٧

Hattaaa ataanal yaqeen

Until there came to us the certainty [i.e., death]."

فَمَا تَنۡفَعُهُمۡ شَفَاعَةُ الشّٰفِعِيۡنَؕ‏ ٤٨

Famaa tanfa'uhum shafaa'atush shaafi'een

Famaa lahum 'anittazkirati mu'rideen

Bal yureedu kullum ri'im minhum any yu'taa suhufam munashsharah

Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.

كَلَّا ​ؕ بَلۡ لَّا يَخَافُوۡنَ الۡاٰخِرَةَ ؕ‏ ٥٣

Kallaa bal laa yakhaafoonal aakhirah

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

كَلَّاۤ اِنَّهٗ تَذۡكِرَةٌ​ ۚ‏ ٥٤

Kallaaa innahoo tazkirah

No! Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder.

فَمَنۡ شَآءَ ذَكَرَهٗ ؕ‏ ٥٥

Fa man shaaa'a zakarah

Then whoever wills will remember it.

وَمَا يَذۡكُرُوۡنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ يَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُ​ ؕ هُوَ اَهۡلُ التَّقۡوٰى وَاَهۡلُ الۡمَغۡفِرَةِ‏ ٥٦

Wa maa yazkuroona illaaa any yashaaa'al laah; Huwa ahlut taqwaa wa ahlul maghfirah
