Until, when death comes to one of them he says: 'My Lord, let me go back, (99)

that I should do righteousness in that I forsook. ' No! It is only a word which he will speak. Behind them there shall stand a barrier till the Day that they shall be resurrected. (100)

And when the Horn is blown, on that Day their ties of kindred shall be no more, nor will they ask each other. (101)

Those whose scales are heavy shall prosper, (102)

but those whose scales are light shall forfeit their souls and live in Gehenna (Hell) for ever. (103)

The fire lashes their faces and therein are shriveled lips. (104)

(We shall say): 'Were My verses not recited to you, and did you not belie them? ' (105)

'Lord, ' they will reply, 'adversity prevailed over us and we were erring. (106)

Our Lord, bring us out of it. If we return (to sin), then we shall indeed be harmdoers. ' (107)

He will say: 'Slink there in it and do not speak to Me. ' (108)
