Surah 15

(Allâh) said: "This is the Way which will lead straight to Me."

"Certainly, you shall have no authority over My slaves, except those who follow you of the Ghâwûn (Mushrikûn and those who go astray, criminals, polytheists, and evil-doers).

"And surely, Hell is the promised place for them all.

"It (Hell) has seven gates, for each of those gates is a (special) class (of sinners) assigned.

"Truly! The Muttaqûn (the pious - See V.2:2) will be amidst Gardens and water-springs (Paradise).

"(It will be said to them): ‘Enter therein (Paradise), in peace and security.’

"And We shall remove from their breasts any deep feeling of bitterness (that they may have). (So they will be like) brothers facing each other on thrones.

"No sense of fatigue shall touch them, nor shall they (ever) be asked to leave it."

Declare (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) unto My slaves, that truly, I am the Oft-Forgiving, the Most-Merciful.

And that My Torment is indeed the most painful torment.

And tell them about the guests (the angels) of Ibrâhîm (Abraham).

When they entered unto him, and said: Salâm (peace)! [Ibrâhîm (Abraham)] said: "Indeed! We are afraid of you."

They (the angels) said: "Do not be afraid! We give you glad tidings of a boy (son) possessing much knowledge and wisdom."

[Ibrâhîm (Abraham)] said: "Do you give me glad tidings (of a son) when old age has overtaken me? Of what then is your news?"

They (the angels) said: "We give you glad tidings in truth. So be not of the despairing."

[Ibrâhîm (Abraham)] said: "And who despairs of the Mercy of his Lord except those who are astray?"

[Ibrâhîm (Abraham) again] said: "What then is the business on which you have come, O Messengers?"

They (the angels) said: "We have been sent to a people who are Mujrimûn (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners).

"(All) except the family of Lût (Lot). Them all we are surely going to save (from destruction).

"Except his wife, of whom We have decreed that she shall be of those who remain behind (i.e. she will be destroyed)."
