Heaven and Hell

conveyed to you the revelations of your Lord and warned you about meeting [Him] on this Day?’ They will answer, ‘Yes, they did come.’ But the decree of punishment has proved true against the deniers of the truth. They will be told, ‘Enter the gates of Hell, to stay therein forever.’ What an evil dwelling place for the haughty. But those who fear their Lord will be led in groups towards Paradise. When they reach it, its gate will be opened, and its keepers will say to them, ‘Peace be upon you. You have done well, enter Paradise and dwell in it forever,’ and they will say, ‘Praise be to God who has fulfilled His promise to us and made us the inheritors of this land, letting us settle in the Garden wherever we want.’ How excellent is the reward of those who labour! You shall see the angels circling about the throne, glorifying their Lord with praise. And judgement will have been passed in justice on all and it will be said, ‘Praise be to God, Lord of the Universe.’
