Translation of Verse 26-34

26. Indeed, those before them had plotted, but Allah struck at the ˹very˺ foundation of their structure, so the roof collapsed on top of them, and the torment came upon them from where they did not expect. 497

27. Then on the Day of Judgment He will humiliate them and say, "Where are My ˹so-called˺ associate-gods for whose sake you used to oppose ˹the believers˺?" Those gifted with knowledge will say, "Surely disgrace and misery today are upon the disbelievers."

28. Those whose souls the angels seize while they wrong themselves will then offer ˹full˺ submission ˹and say falsely,˺ "We did not do any evil." ˹The angels will say,˺ "No! Surely Allah fully knows what you used to do.

29. So enter the gates of Hell, to stay there forever. Indeed, what an evil home for the arrogant!"

30. And ˹when˺ it is said to those mindful ˹of Allah˺, "What has your Lord revealed?" They say, "All the best!" For those who do good in this world, there is goodness. But far better is the ˹eternal˺ Home of the Hereafter. How excellent indeed is the home of the righteous:

31. the Gardens of Eternity which they will enter, under which rivers flow. In it they will have whatever they desire. This is how Allah rewards the righteous-

32. those whose souls the angels take while they are virtuous, saying ˹to them˺, "Peace be upon you! Enter Paradise for what you used to do."

33. Are they only awaiting the coming of the angels or the command of your Lord ˹O Prophet˺? So were those before them. And Allah never wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves.

34. Then the evil ˹consequences˺ of their deeds overtook them, and they were overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule.


Commentary

497. This verse refers to a tyrant king who ordered the building of a tower so he can reach the heavens and fight Allah and the angels. Eventually the tower collapsed, leaving the tyrant crushed.
