    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 hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.

    نَذِيرًۭا لِّلْبَشَرِ

    قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ

    Qaaloo lam naku minal musalleen

    They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

44. 44

    وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ

    Wa lam naku nut'imul miskeen

    Nor did we used to feed the poor.

45. 45

    وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ

    Wa kunnaa nakhoodu ma'al khaaa'ideen

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

    Famaa lahum 'anittazkirati mu'rideen

    Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

50. 50

    كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌۭ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌۭ

    Ka annahum humurum mustanfirah

    As if they were alarmed donkeys

51. 51

    فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ

    Farrat min qaswarah

    Fleeing from a lion?

52. 52

    بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًۭا مُّنَشَّرَةًۭ

    Fa man shaaa'a zakarah

    Then whoever wills will remember it.

56. 56

    وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ

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