The shackles will be around their necks, and the chains will be used to drag them.
إِذِ الأَغلٰلُ فى أَعنٰقِهِم وَالسَّلٰسِلُ يُسحَبونَ
izil aghlaalu feee a’naaqi-him wassalaasilu yushaboon
The shackles will be around their necks, and the chains will be used to drag them.
إِذِ الأَغلٰلُ فى أَعنٰقِهِم وَالسَّلٰسِلُ يُسحَبونَ

In the Inferno,* then in the Fire, they will burn.
فِى الحَميمِ ثُمَّ فِى النّارِ يُسجَرونَ
fil hameemi summa fin Naari Yasjaroon
*40:72 Those who did not prepare themselves will suffer tremendously in the presence of God, on the Day of Judgment. They cannot stand the closeness to God due to lack of sufficient growth and development of their souls. I am using “Inferno” to describe this particular situation (55:44). Preparation of the soul is accomplished by the rites decreed by God, such as the Contact Prayer.
They will be asked, “Where are the idols you used to worship,
ثُمَّ قيلَ لَهُم أَينَ ما كُنتُم تُشرِكونَ
summaa qeela lahum ayna maa kuntum tushrikoon
(They Worshiped Nothing)
“beside God?” They will say, “They have abandoned us. In fact, when we worshiped them, we were worshiping nothing.” Thus does God send the disbelievers astray.
مِن دونِ اللَّهِ قالوا ضَلّوا عَنّا بَل لَم نَكُن نَدعوا مِن قَبلُ شَيـًٔا كَذٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ الكٰفِرينَ
min doonil laahi qaaloo dalloo ‘annaa bal lam nakun nad’oo min qablu shai’aa; kazaalika yudillul laahul kaafireen
This is because you used to rejoice in false doctrines, on earth, and you used to promote them.
ذٰلِكُم بِما كُنتُم تَفرَحونَ فِى الأَرضِ بِغَيرِ الحَقِّ وَبِما كُنتُم تَمرَحونَ
zaalikum bimaa kuntum tafrahoona fil ardi bighairil haqqi wa bimaa kuntum tamrahoon
Enter the gates of Gehenna, wherein you abide forever. What a miserable destiny for the arrogant ones.
ادخُلوا أَبوٰبَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدينَ فيها فَبِئسَ مَثوَى المُتَكَبِّرينَ
udkhulooo abwaaba Jahannama khaalideena feehaa fabi’sa maswal mutakabbireen
You shall be patient, for God’s promise is truth. Whether we show you some of (the retribution) we have promised for them, or terminate your life before that, they will be returned to us.
فَاصبِر إِنَّ وَعدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ فَإِمّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعضَ الَّذى نَعِدُهُم أَو نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَينا يُرجَعونَ
fasbir inna wa’dal laahi haqq; fa immaa nuriyannak ba’dal lazee na’i duhum aw natawaffayannaka fa ilainaa yurja’oon
(God’s Authorization for the
Quran’s Mathematical Miracle*)
We have sent messengers before you – some of them we mentioned to you, and some we did not mention to you. No messenger can produce any miracle without God’s authorization.* Once God’s judgment is issued, the truth dominates, and the falsifiers are exposed and humiliated.
وَلَقَد أَرسَلنا رُسُلًا مِن قَبلِكَ مِنهُم مَن قَصَصنا عَلَيكَ وَمِنهُم مَن لَم نَقصُص عَلَيكَ وَما كانَ لِرَسولٍ أَن يَأتِىَ بِـٔايَةٍ إِلّا بِإِذنِ اللَّهِ فَإِذا جاءَ أَمرُ اللَّهِ قُضِىَ بِالحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنالِكَ المُبطِلونَ
wa laqad arsalnaa Rusulam min qablika minhum man qasasnaa ‘alaika wa minhum mal lam naqsus ‘alaik; wa maa kaana li Rasoolin any yaatiya bi Aayatin illaa bi iznil laah; fa izaa jaaa’a amrul laahi qudiya bilhaqqi wa khasira hunaalikal mubtiloon
*40:78 We learn from 17:45-46, 18:57, and 56:79 that the unbelievers have no access to the Quran; only the believers and the sincere seekers are permitted by God to understand it. The Quran’s mathematical code, “One of the great miracles” (74:30-35), was authorized by God, and revealed through His Messenger of the Covenant (Appendix 2).
God is the One who created the livestock for you; some you ride, and some you eat.
اللَّهُ الَّذى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الأَنعٰمَ لِتَركَبوا مِنها وَمِنها تَأكُلونَ
allaahul lazee ja’ala lakumul an’aama litarkaboo minhaa wa minhaa taakuloon
They also provide you with additional benefits that satisfy many of your needs. On them, as well as on the ships, you are carried.
وَلَكُم فيها مَنٰفِعُ وَلِتَبلُغوا عَلَيها حاجَةً فى صُدورِكُم وَعَلَيها وَعَلَى الفُلكِ تُحمَلونَ
wa lakum feehaa manaafi’u wa litablughoo ‘alaihaa haajatan fee sudoorikum wa ‘alaihaa wa ‘alal fulki tuhmaloon
