40:41 O my people, how is it that I call you to salvation while you call me to the Fire?

40:42 You call me to disbelieve in Allah and associate with Him what I have no knowledge of, while I call you to the All-Mighty, the Most Forgiving.

40:43 There is no doubt that those [gods] to whom you call me are not worthy of calling upon, neither in this world nor in the Hereafter. Our return is to Allah, and it is the transgressors who are the people of the Fire.

40:44 You will remember what I am telling you, and I entrust my affairs to Allah. Allah is All-Seeing of [His] slaves.”

40:45 So Allah protected him from the evil that they plotted, and the people of Pharaoh were overwhelmed by an evil punishment:

40:46 the Fire, which they will be exposed to [in their graves] morning and evening[1], and on the Day when the Hour takes place [it will be said], “Admit the people of Pharaoh into the most severe punishment.”

40:47 [Imagine] when they will argue in the Fire: the weak will say to those who were arrogant, “We were your followers, can you then relieve us of a portion of the Fire?”

40:48 Those who were arrogant will say, “We are all in it. Allah has already passed judgment among [His] slaves.”

40:49 Those who are in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, “Pray to your Lord to lighten for us the punishment for just one day.”
