Behold, those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, and then repent not, theirs, verily, is the doom of Hell - yes, theirs is the doom of burning.
Verily, those who choose to be graced with belief and do actions that help people, theirs are the Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Eminence.
إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ ( 12 )
(Yet) Verily, strong is the Grip of your Lord!
إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ ( 13 )
Behold, He it is Who originates (life) and then makes again and again.
وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ ( 14 )
And He is the Forgiving, the Loving.
ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدُ ( 15 )
Lord of the Supreme Throne.
فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ( 16 )
Carrying out His Plan according to His Laws. ('Fe'l' = Doing = Carrying out. 'Ma Yurid' = As He plans = As He wills = In accordance with His Laws).
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْجُنُودِ ( 17 )
Has the story reached you of the great troops?
فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ ( 18 )
Of Pharaoh and Thamud.
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبٍ ( 19 )
And yet the rejecters knowingly live in denial.
وَاللَّهُ مِن وَرَائِهِم مُّحِيطٌ ( 20 )
But Allah surrounds them without them conceiving it. ('Minwwaraihim' = From behind them = Without them conceiving it).
