Those that were given the knowledge will say, 'Degradation today and evil are on the unbelievers, 27 "(Namely) those whose lives the angels take in a state of wrong-doing to their own souls."

(The angels will reply), "Nay, but verily Allah knoweth all that ye did; 28 They will be commanded to enter hell to live therein forever. How terrible will be the place of the proud ones! 29 ۞ And it will be said to those who feared Allah, "What did your Lord send down?" They will say, "[That which is] good." For those who do good in this world is good; and the home of the Hereafter is better. And how excellent is the home of the righteous - 30 Gardens of perpetual residence, which they will enter, beneath which rivers flow. They will have therein whatever they wish.
