The Cow · Verse 80 of 286
وَقَالُوا لَنْ تَمَسَّنَا النَّارُ إِلَّا أَيَّامًا مَعْدُودَةً ۚ قُلْ أَتَّخَذْتُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدًا فَلَنْ يُخْلِفَ اللَّهُ عَهْدَهُ ۖ أَمْ تَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Abdul Mannan Omar
(Inspite of their evil doings) they say, `The Fire (of punishment) shall not touch us except for a few days.´ Say, `Have you taken a promise (for unconditional salvation) from Allâh?´ (If you have,) then Allâh will never go back upon His promise. But (is it not a fact that) you attribute to Allâh things you do not know?´
Abdullah Yusuf Ali
