(31) And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve – that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, “What does Allah intend by this as an example?” Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.

(٤٥) وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلۡخَآئِضِينَ
Wa kunnaa nakhoodu ma’al khaaa’ideen
(45) And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
(٤٦) وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Wa kunnaa nukazzibu bi yawmid Deen
(46) And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
(٤٧) حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلۡيَقِينُ
Hattaaa ataanal yaqeen
(47) Until there came to us the certainty.”
(٤٨) فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمۡ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّـٰفِعِينَ
Famaa tanfa’uhum shafaa’atush shaafi’een
(48) So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
(٤٩) فَمَا لَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلتَّذۡكِرَةِ مُعۡرِضِينَ
Famaa lahum ‘anittazkirati mu’rideen
(49) Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away
(٥٠) كَأَنَّهُمۡ حُمُرٞ مُّسۡتَنفِرَةٞ
Ka annahum humurum mustanfirah
(50) As if they were alarmed donkeys
(٥١) فَرَّتۡ مِن قَسۡوَرَةِۭ

Bal yureedu kullum ri’im minhum any yu’taa suhufam munashsharah
(52) Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.
(٥٣) كَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ
Kallaa bal laa yakhaafoonal aakhirah
(53) No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.
(٥٤) كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذۡكِرَةٞ
Kallaaa innahoo tazkirah
(54) No! Indeed, the Qur’an is a reminder
(٥٥) فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
Fa man shaaa’a zakarah
(55) Then whoever wills will remember it.
(٥٦) وَمَا يَذۡكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ هُوَ أَهۡلُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ وَأَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِ
Wa maa yazkuroona illaaa any yashaaa’al laah; Huwa ahlut taqwaa wa ahlul maghfirah
(56) And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
