46 : 18

ٱلۡمَالُ وَٱلۡبَنُونَ زِينَةُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ وَٱلۡبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ خَيۡرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابٗا وَخَيۡرٌ أَمَلٗا

46. Wealth and children are the adornment of the life of this world. But the ever-lasting good deeds are far better with your Lord 'Allāh' in reward, and better in hope ^[22].

[22]. Referring to all the deeds which please Allāh, God Almighty; be they the five daily Prayers, or the words of Remembrance of Allāh, because, unlike the transient adornment of life, they are ‘everlasting’ for their doers, and ‘good’ because they are carried out in a manner that pleases Allāh. Muhammed, God's messenger ﷺ, said: “To say: Subḥānallāh 'Glory be to Allāh', Al-ḥamdu lillāh 'all gratitude be to Allāh', Lā Ilāha illal lāh 'there is no god but Allāh' and Allāhu Akbar 'Allāh is the Greatest' are among the everlasting good deeds.”

47 : 18

وَيَوۡمَ نُسَيِّرُ ٱلۡجِبَالَ وَتَرَى ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَارِزَةٗ وَحَشَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَلَمۡ نُغَادِرۡ مِنۡهُمۡ أَحَدٗا

47. (Beware of) the Day We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth laid bare and We gather them all, not leaving a single one of them behind.

48 : 18

وَعُرِضُواْ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ صَفّٗا لَّقَدۡ جِئۡتُمُونَا كَمَا خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةِۭۚ بَلۡ زَعَمۡتُمۡ أَلَّن نَّجۡعَلَ لَكُم مَّوۡعِدٗا

48. And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, (and the disbelievers will be told), "You have certainly come to Us as We created you at first ^[23]. Rather, you claimed that We would never appoint for you a time, (for the fulfillment of this Promise)."

[23]. Nude, uncircumcised, and lonely.

49 : 18

وَوُضِعَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ فَتَرَى ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ مُشۡفِقِينَ مِمَّا فِيهِ وَيَقُولُونَ يَٰوَيۡلَتَنَا مَالِ هَٰذَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةٗ وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّآ أَحۡصَىٰهَاۚ وَوَجَدُواْ مَا عَمِلُواْ حَاضِرٗاۗ وَلَا يَظۡلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدٗا

49. And the record (of deeds) will be laid (open), then you will see the wicked fearing from what is therein, and they will cry: "Ah, Woe to us. What a record is this! It leaves out nothing (of our sins) minor or major, but numbers them all." And they will find whatever they did present (before them). And your Lord does injustice to no one.

50 : 18

وَإِذۡ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسۡجُدُواْ لِأٓدَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهِۦٓۗ أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُۥ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُۥٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِي وَهُمۡ لَكُمۡ عَدُوُّۢۚ بِئۡسَ لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ بَدَلٗا

50. And (mention) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate to Adam." So they all prostrated except Iblees, he was of the jinn, then he rebelled from the Command of his Lord. Would you then take him and his offspring for your masters ^[24] rather than Me, while they are to you enemies? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange ^[25].

[24]. Demons could possess their idols and communicate through them; they also used to seek refuge from the evil of the jinn by appraising them and slaughtering sacrifices for them
[25]. Satan along with his fellow demons continues to lead people astray from the right Path of Islam.

51 : 18

۞ مَّآ أَشۡهَدتُّهُمۡ خَلۡقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا خَلۡقَ أَنفُسِهِمۡ وَمَا كُنتُ مُتَّخِذَ ٱلۡمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدٗا

51. I did not make them (Satan and his associates) witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor to the creation of their own selves; nor could I take the misguiders for helpers ^[26].

[26]. Allāh, the source of true guidance, would not take false deities, who are the main cause of misguidance, as helpers.

52 : 18

وَيَوۡمَ يَقُولُ نَادُواْ شُرَكَآءِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمۡتُمۡ فَدَعَوۡهُمۡ فَلَمۡ يَسۡتَجِيبُواْ لَهُمۡ وَجَعَلۡنَا بَيۡنَهُم مَّوۡبِقٗا

52. (Mention Muhammad) the Day when Allāh will say: "Call on those you claimed were My associate-gods." So they will call them 'for help', but they will not answer them ^[27]; and We shall put between them a barrier (of enmity).

[27]. The false deities they took besides Allāh will let them down when they need them most on Judgment Day.

53 : 18

وَرَءَا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ ٱلنَّارَ فَظَنُّوٓاْ أَنَّهُم مُّوَاقِعُوهَا وَلَمۡ يَجِدُواْ عَنۡهَا مَصۡرِفٗا

53. The guilty will see the Fire (of Hell) and are certain that they are bound to fall into it, And they will not find from it a way elsewhere.
