And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations and a clear warrant 96 They followed the order of the Pharaoh but Pharaoh's orders were evil. 97 He will go ahead of his people on the Day of Resurrection, and will lead them into the Fire, and evil indeed is the place to which they are led. 98 Damned will they be in this world, and on the Day of Doom how evil the gift that they will receive! 99 This is an account of (the fate of) the towns which We relate to you; of them are some that stand and (others) mown down. 100 We were not unjust to them but they were unjust to themselves. The idols which they worshipped instead of God were of no help to them when Our decree came to pass. The idols only brought about their destruction. 101 Thus was the punishment of your Lord when He punished the unjust people of the towns. The punishment of your Lord is certainly severe. 102 Indeed in that (there) is a sure lesson for those who fear the torment of the Hereafter. That is a Day whereon mankind will be gathered together, and that is a Day when all (the dwellers of the heavens and the earth) will be present. 103 We shall not postpone it except until a counted term. 104 When that Day arrives no soul shall speak except by His permission. Some shall be wretched, and others happy. 105 The wretched ones will be in the Fire sighing and groaning, 106 [They will be] abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Lord should will. Indeed, your Lord is an effecter of what He intends. 107 ۞ And those who are blessed, they will be in Paradise, abiding therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord will, a gift without an end. 108 So, you should not entertain any doubt about those whom they worship: They only worship what their fathers had worshipped before them. We shall verily give them their meed without diminution. 109
