(23:99) [For such is the state of the disbelievers], until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back (23:100) That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind." No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected. (23:101) So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another. (23:102) And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the successful. (23:103) But those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding eternally. (23:104) The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein will have taut smiles. (23:105) [It will be said]. "Were not My verses recited to you and you used to deny them?" (23:106) They will say, "Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray. (23:107) Our Lord, remove us from it, and if we were to return [to evil], we would indeed be wrongdoers." (23:108) He will say, "Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me. (23:109) Indeed, there was a party of My servants who said, `Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the best of the merciful.` (23:110) But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them. (23:111) Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance - that they are the attainers [of success]." (23:112) [Allah] will say, "How long did you remain on earth in number of years?"
