أَكُفَّارُكُمۡ خَیۡرࣱ مِّنۡ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكُمۡ أَمۡ لَكُم بَرَاۤءَةࣱ فِی ٱلزُّبُرِ ۝٤٣

Amatul Rahman Omar

Are those of you who are disbelievers better than these? Or have you been promised amnesty (from punishment) in the (previous) Scriptures

akuffārukum khayrun min ulāikum am lakum barāatun fī l-zubur

54:44

أَمۡ یَقُولُونَ نَحۡنُ جَمِیعࣱ مُّنتَصِرࣱ ۝٤٤

Amatul Rahman Omar

Or do (Makkan disbelievers) say, `We are a united force, capable of defending one another (against any calamity)

am yaqūlūna naḥnu jamīʿun muntaṣiru

54:45

سَیُهۡزَمُ ٱلۡجَمۡعُ وَیُوَلُّونَ ٱلدُّبُرَ ۝٤٥

54:47

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ فِی ضَلَـٰلࣲ وَسُعُرࣲ ۝٤٧

Amatul Rahman Omar

Surely, the guilty are (involved) in clear error and (suffering from) insanity

inna l-muj'rimīna fī ḍalālin wasuʿuri

54:48

یَوۡمَ یُسۡحَبُونَ فِی ٱلنَّارِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمۡ ذُوقُوا۟ مَسَّ سَقَرَ ۝٤٨

Amatul Rahman Omar

On that day they shall be dragged on their faces into the fire (of the battle, it will be said to them), `Suffer the smite of fire.

yawma yus'ḥabūna fī l-nāri ʿalā wujūhihim dhūqū massa saqar

Amatul Rahman Omar

We have surely destroyed (gangs of) people like you (O disbelievers! before). But is there anyone who would take heed

walaqad ahlaknā ashyāʿakum fahal min muddakiri

54:52

وَكُلُّ شَیۡءࣲ فَعَلُوهُ فِی ٱلزُّبُرِ ۝٥٢

Amatul Rahman Omar

Everything they did is (recorded) in scrolls (of deeds)
