(40:41) And O my people, how is it that I invite you to salvation while you invite me to the Fire? (40:42) You invite me to disbelieve in Allah and associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, and I invite you to the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver. (40:43) Assuredly, that to which you invite me has no [response to a] supplication in this world or in the Hereafter; and indeed, our return is to Allah, and indeed, the transgressors will be companions of the Fire. (40:44) And you will remember what I [now] say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allah. Indeed, Allah is Seeing of [His] servants." (40:45) So Allah protected him from the evils they plotted, and the people of Pharaoh were enveloped by the worst of punishment - (40:46) The Fire, they are exposed to it morning and evening. And the Day the Hour appears [it will be said], "Make the people of Pharaoh enter the severest punishment." (40:47) And [mention] when they will argue within the Fire, and the weak will say to those who had been arrogant, "Indeed, we were [only] your followers, so will you relieve us of a share of the Fire?" (40:48) Those who had been arrogant will say, "Indeed, all [of us] are in it. Indeed, Allah has judged between the servants." (40:49) And those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, "Supplicate your Lord to lighten for us a day from the punishment." (40:50) They will say, "Did there not come to you your messengers with clear proofs?" They will say, "Yes." They will reply, "Then supplicate [yourselves], but the supplication of the disbelievers is not except in error." (40:51) Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand - (40:52) The Day their excuse will not benefit the wrongdoers, and they will have the curse, and they will have the worst home. (40:53) And We had certainly given Moses guidance, and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit the Scripture (40:54) As guidance and a reminder for those of understanding. (40:55) So be patient, [O Muhammad]. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth. And ask forgiveness for your sin and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord in the evening and the morning. (40:56) Indeed, those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah without [any] authority having come to them - there is not within their breasts except pride, [the extent of] which they cannot reach. So seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Seeing. (40:57) The creation of the heavens and earth is greater than the creation of mankind, but most of the people do not know. (40:58) And not equal are the blind and the seeing, nor are those who believe and do righteous deeds and the evildoer. Little do you remember. (40:59) Indeed, the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - but most of the people do not believe. (40:60) And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible.
