Do the disbelievers reckon that they can choose My bondmen as protecting friends beside Me? Lo! We have prepared hell as a welcome for the disbelievers. 102 Say thou: shall I declare unto you the greatest losers in respect of works? 103 "Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life, while they thought that they were acquiring good by their works?" 104 Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any importance. 105 Thus it is that their recompense is hell, because they disbelieved and held My communications and My apostles in mockery. 106 Those who believe and do good works shall have the gardens of Paradise for their abode. 107 They shall forever dwell in the Gardens of Paradise, desiring no change. 108 Say thou: were the sea to become ink for the words of my Lord, the sea would surely exhaust ere the words of my Lord exhausted, even though We brought another like thereof for support. 109 Say: "I am only a man like you, but it has been communicated to me that your Lord is one and single God, and that whosoever hopes to meet his Lord should do what is right, and not associate any one in the worship of his Lord." 110
