26. Surah Al Shu'ara'

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٩٠﴾

26: 90. "To the righteous, the Garden will be brought near,

C3181. The Good will only see good (the Garden of Bliss), and the Evil will only see evil (the Fire of Hell).

The type of this contrast is shown to us in the world of our spiritual sense even in this life.

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ ﴿٩١﴾

26: 91. "And to those straying in Evil, the Fire will be placed in full view;

وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿٩٢﴾

26: 92. "And it shall be said to them:

'Where are the (gods) ye worshipped --

مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ ﴿٩٣﴾

26: 93. "'Besides Allah?

Can they help you or help themselves?'

Asad’s Version:

26:90 For, (on that Day,] paradise will be brought within sight of the God-conscious,

(26:91) whereas the blazing fire will be laid open before those who had been lost in grievous error;

(26:92) and they will be asked: "Where now is all that you were wont to worship

(26:93) instead of God? 42 Can these [things and beings] be of any help to you or to themselves?"
