11:98 He will be at the forefront of his people on the Day of Resurrection, leading them into the Fire. What a terrible place to be led to!

11:99 They were pursued by a curse[1] in this world as well as on the Day of Resurrection. What a terrible gift to receive!

11:100 These are some of the stories of the towns that We relate to you; some are still standing, while others have been mowed down[1].

11:101 We did not wrong them, rather they wronged themselves. Their gods whom they invoked besides Allah were of no avail to them in the least when the command of your Lord came, and they only added to their destruction.

11:102 Such is the seizing of your Lord when He seizes the towns that are given to wrongdoing; His seizing is surely painful and severe.

11:103 Indeed, there is a sign in this for those who fear the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a Day for which people will be gathered and a Day that will be witnessed.

11:104 We only delay it until a fixed term.

11:105 When that Day comes, no one will speak except by His permission. Some among them will be wretched and others blissful.

11:106 As for those who are wretched, they will be in the Fire, wherein they will be moaning and gasping,

11:107 they will abide therein for as long as the heavens and earth exist, except what your Lord wills; your Lord does what He wills.

11:108 As for those who are destined for bliss, they will be in Paradise abiding therein as long as the heavens and earth exist, except what your Lord wills[1] – an unceasing gift.
