[But they will be answered:] "Yea, verily, God has full knowledge of all that you were doing! 28 They will be commanded to enter hell to live therein forever. How terrible will be the place of the proud ones! 29 ۞ When those who took heed for themselves would be asked: "What did your Lord send down?" They will answer: "The best."

Enter paradise by virtue of what you were doing [in life]!" 32 What! Do the (unbelievers) expect that the angels should descend, or the sentence of your Lord come to pass? So had the people done before them; yet God did not wrong them, they wronged themselves. 33 So the evil (consequences) of what they did shall afflict them and that which they mocked shall encompass them. 34
