But you do not know it.’ ### Progressive Muslims He said: "Enter with the multitude of nations before you from humans and Jinn to the Fire!" Every time a nation entered, it cursed its sister nation, until they are all gathered inside it; then the last of them says to the first: "Our Lord, these are the ones who have misguided us, so give them double the retribution of the Fire!" He replied: "Each will receive double, but you do not know. " ### Shabbir Ahmed Allah will command them to join the previous rural and urban communities into the Fire. Every later group will blame the former, "Our Lord! These are the ones who misled us; double their punishment." He will say, "The punishment is doubled for both." (The first group violated the Laws and misled others, and the second group was guilty of blind following and misleading their successors). ### Sam Gerrans — The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation He will say: “Enter among the communities that have passed away before you of domini and servi into the Fire!” Whenever a community enters, it curses its sister; when they have followed one another therein all together, the last of them will say to the first of them: “Our Lord: these led us astray; so give Thou them double punishment of the Fire!” He will say: “For each is double, but you know not.” ### The Monotheist Group — The Quran: A Monotheist Translation He said: "Enter with the multitude of nations before you from mankind and Jinn to the Fire!" Every time a nation entered, it cursed its sister nation, until they are all gathered inside it; then the last of them says to the first: "Our Lord, these are the ones who have misguided us, so give them double the retribution of the Fire!" He replied: "Each will receive double, but you do not know." ### Rashad Khalifa — The Final Testament He will say, "Enter with the previous communities of jinns and humans into Hell." Every time a group enters, they will curse their ancestral group. Once they are all in it, the latest one will say of the previous one, "Our Lord, these are the ones who misled us. Give them double the retribution of Hell." He will say, "Each receives double, but you do not know." ### Mohamed Ahmed - Samira "Enter then the Fire, " will God say, "with the past generations of jinns and men. " On entering each batch will condemn the other; and when all of them shall have entered one after the other, the last to come will say of those who had come before them: "O our Lord, they are the ones who led us astray; so give them double chastisement in the Fire." He will answer: "For all it will be double; but this you do not know." ### Sahih International — (Umm Muhammad, Mary Kennedy, Amatullah Bantley) [ Allah ] will say, "Enter among nations which had passed on before you of jinn and mankind into the Fire. " Every time a nation enters, it will curse its sister until, when they have all overtaken one another therein, the last of them will say about the first of them "Our Lord, these had misled us, so give them a double punishment of the Fire. He will say, "For each is double, but you do not know." ### Muhammad Asad [And God] will say: "Join those hosts of invisible beings and humans who have gone before you into the fire!" [And] every time a host enters [the fire], it will curse its fellow-host -so much so that, when they all shall have passed into it, one after another, the last of them will speak [thus] of the first of them: "O our Sustainer! It is they who have led us astray: give, them, therefore, double suffering through fire!" He, will reply: "Every one of you deserves double suffering -but you know it not. " ### Marmaduke Pickthall He saith: Enter into the Fire among nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before you. Every time a nation entereth, it curseth its sister (nation) till, when they have all been made to follow one another thither, the last of them saith unto the first of them: Our Lord! These led us astray, so give them double torment of the Fire. He saith: For each one there is double (torment), but ye know not. ### Abul A'la Maududi — Tafhim commentary Allah will say: 'Enter the fire of Hell and join the nations of jinn and men that have gone before You.' As a nation enters Hill, it will curse the one that went before it, and when all are gathered there, the last of them shall say of the first: 'Our Lord! These are the ones who led us astray. Let their torment be doubled in Hell-Fire.' He will answer: 'Each will have a doubled torment; although you do not know.'[1] _Footnotes_ - [1] As it is, each group of people is followed, even as it is preceded, by others. A group which inherits an error of outlook and conduct from its predecessors passes on the same, in turn, to future generations. In addition, whereas a group owes its wrong-doing partly to the wrong-doing of its predecessors, it will also be held responsible for leaving behind an evil legacy for the future generations. The Qur'an, therefore, pronounces a double punishment on such a group: it will incur punishment for its own misdeeds and also for leaving behind such a legacy for the coming generations. A number of traditions elucidate this point. According to one such tradition the Prophet (peace be on him) said: 'He who introduces a misleading innovation which does not please God and His Messenger shall be held guilty for the sins of all those who follow that innovation without lessening in the least the burden [of sins] of those who followed the innovation,' (Cf. Ibn Majah, Muqaddimat Bab Man Ahya Sunnah qad umitat, where the words are slightly different - Ed.) According to another tradition, he said: 'The responsibility for all the murders committed in the world is shared by the first son of Adam [i.e. Cain] for he was the first to have innovated murder.' (See Bukhari, Kitab al-Jana'iz, Bab Qawlih 'alay al-Salam Yu'addhab al-Mayyit bi Ba'd Buka'i ahlih 'alayh - Ed.) We thus know that the individual or group responsible for introducing a wrong idea or practice is not only responsible to the extent of those sins, but shares the responsibility of the sins of all those who are influenced by him. As long as the evil effects of that influence continue, their sins will be continually added to his account. This also shows that a person is not only accountable for the good or bad deeds that he commits. In fact he is also accountable for the influence of those deeds on others. This may be illustrated by considering the case of someone who indulges in unlawful sex. All those whose bad examples, evil company, and inducements to evil caused a man to indulge in such an act have a share in the sin that he committed. The persons who influenced him in turn had been influenced by others. Were this chain of influence traced back to its ultimate origin, the blame would be fixed on the first person who demonstrated this unlawful way for satiating the sexual urge. This does not detract from the fact that anyone who indulged in fornication is also accountable for the sin he committed. This is so because when he committed a sin he did so because he failed to make proper use of his capacity to distinguish between good and evil with which he had been endowed. He also did not pay due heed to the voice of his conscience, and mobilize the power of self-control given him. Nor did he benefit from the knowledge of good and evil transmitted to him by pious men nor was he inspired by the noble examples of the God-fearing. Nor did he learn any lesson from the evil consequences of sexual misconduct. Instead, he totally succumbed to blind sexual lust which sought gratification at all cost. This much relates to the responsibility of the person who indulged in sexual misconduct. But there is another dimension of that person's evil conduct - his propagation of that same evil among others which ruined the lives of countless people belonging to his own generation and to the generations that follow. It is also possible that he might have been afflicted by some general disease which he then communicated to his own generation and also to the generations that followed. His sexual misconduct might also have given birth to illegitimate children, unjustly passing on the burden of their upbringing to others, and making his offspring - without any justification - co-sharers in the fortunes and even the inheritance of others. The wrong that is thus perpetrated persists for many generations. Likewise, it is also possible that the said criminal might, by his cunning, have led an innocent girl to sexually corrupt behaviour. That in turn is likely to awaken evil propensities in her which wreck the lives and homes of countless families, even generations. Also, by setting an evil example for his children, relatives, friends and the society at large a fornicator is likely to cast a bad influence on people around him and infect others with moral corruption. The evil consequences of such an act thus linger on for a long time. The moral corruption that ultimately, engulfs the society owes its origin to the person who initially introduced an evil. Justice, therefore, demands that such a culprit should also be held responsible for the subsequent evils which may be traced back to his initial act of corruption.The same holds true for good deeds. The reward for the heritage of goodness left behind by our predecessors from the earliest times should inevitably go to the credit of those men of the past who have continually transmitted that heritage to posterity down to our own time. If our own generation takes good care of that heritage, enriches it and passes it on to the coming generation, it also deserves due reward for that. As long as our good acts leave a trace of good influence on history and continue to cast a good influence on people, mankind will reap the benefits of those acts. This is the Qur'anic view of retribution. Every sensible person will agree that such a dispensation alone can ensure perfect justice. Appreciation of this concept should dispel the idea of those who believe that men can be fully rewarded or punished for their deeds within the confines of this worldly life. Likewise, such an appreciation should also dispel the views of those who believe that the transmigration of souls alone can ensure full justice to all men. Such people have blundered because they have neither grasped fully the nature and consequences of human acts nor the nature and requirements of perfect justice. It is obvious that the consequences of individuals' acts are not visible during their life-span - say sixty or seventy years or so. Instead, human activities, both good and evil, influence the lives of countless people belonging to countless generations. One cannot, therefore, be brought to justice during one's own lifetime, since only a small part of the consequences of those acts have yet come to the surface. Moreover, the limited possibilities available in the present world are quite inadequate for bringing people to justice. Just consider the hideous crime of someone who pushes us to a world war. As things stand, the catastrophic consequences of such a crime would affect the lives of billions of men through the ages. Is there any punishment - physical, spiritual or material - which can be deemed even remotely, proportionate to that crime? Likewise, no worldly reward, however valuable, can adequately recompense for the noble services rendered by a philanthropist which will benefit numerous people for thousands of years. Having viewed the question from this angle. one readily, concludes that there must necessarily be life in the Hereafter such that full justice can be meted out to everyone. Here all human beings are brought together, their full records are made available, and the reckoning is made by God Himself Whose knowledge embraces literally everything. Additionally, men should be granted unlimited spans of life, and infinite possibilities should be made available for receiving compensation. A little reflection on this will help us see how false the doctrine of the transmigration of souls is. Those who subscribe to this doctrine fail to realize that eternal life is needed to mete out recompense to people for the deeds they commit during their relatively brief spans of life. If one were to believe in the unending cycle of life and death it would become impossible to reward or punish anyone for his actions, for each span of life would go on accumulating endlessly. The arrears would never be cleared. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab And in Day* of Judgment, they shall be told: "Join those nations and generations of the Jinn and mankind who preceded you in the realm of Hell. As often as a fresh nation, united in evil thought and deeds, is ushered in with gusts of firey wind, it pours maledictions upon its unwise sister, until they are all thronged in, then shall the latter turn their eyes upon the former and direct their spoken words to Allah, thus: " These, O Allah, our Creator, whom we thought were the example to follow, had indeed misled us and alienated us from Your purpose: requite them O Allah with double the torment in the fire".There, Allah says: "But all and each suffers twice as much but you do not know". ### Bijan Moeinian God will then say: "Enter into the Hellfire like those humans and Jinns who entered before you. " Each generation which will enter the Hell will curse the previous generations [for having laid the ground for their misfortune.] Once all are entered into the Hell, they will ask God to double the punishment of their ancestral who led them to such a destiny. The Lord will reply: "They will indeed be punished many folded without realizing [that their sever punishment is due to the fact that not only they have wronged themselves but also have laid ground for further evil deeds committed later by their inheritors.] ### Al-Hilali & Khan (Allâh) will say: "Enter you in the company of nations who passed away before you, of men and jinn, into the Fire." Every time a new nation enters, it curses its sister nation (that went before) until they will be gathered all together in the Fire. The last of them will say to the first of them: "Our Lord! These misled us, so give them a double torment of the Fire." He will say: "For each one there is double (torment), but you know not." ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali He will say: "Enter ye in the company of the peoples who passed away before you - men and jinns, - into the Fire." Every time a new people enters, it curses its sister-people (that went before), until they follow each other, all into the Fire. Saith the last about the first: "Our Lord! it is these that misled us: so give them a double penalty in the Fire." He will say: "Doubled for all": but this ye do not understand. ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran Allah will say, "Enter the Fire along with the ˹evil˺ groups of jinn and humans that preceded you." Whenever a group enters Hell, it will curse the preceding one until they are all gathered inside, the followers will say about their leaders, “Our Lord! They have misled us, so multiply their torment in the Fire.” He will answer, “It has already been multiplied for all, but you do not know.” ### Taqi Usmani He (Allah) will say, "Enter the Fire along with the peoples who passed before you from the Jinn and the human beings." Whenever a group will enter it, they will curse their fellows, until when all of them will have joined each other in it, the latter ones will say about the former ones “Our Lord, they misguided us; so, give them a double punishment of the Fire.” He will say, “For each there is a double, but you do not know.” ### Abdul Haleem God will say, ‘Join the crowds of jinn and humans who have gone before you into the Fire.’ Every crowd curses its fellow crowd as it enters, then, when they are all gathered inside, the last of them will say of the first, ‘Our Lord, it was they who led us astray: give them double punishment in the Fire’- God says, ‘Every one of you will have double punishment, though you do not know it’- ### Arthur John Arberry He will say, 'Enter among nations that passed away before you, jinn and mankind, into the Fire. ' Whenever any nation enters, it curses its sister-nation; till, when they have all successively come there, the last of them shall say to the first of them, 'O our Lord, these led us astray; so give them a double chastisement of the Fire.' He will say, 'Unto each a double, but you know not. ### E. Henry Palmer He will say, 'Enter ye - amongst the nations who have passed away before you, both of ginns and men - into the fire;' whenever a nation enters therein, it curses its mate; until, when they have all reached it, the last of them will say unto the first, 'O our Lord! these it was who led us astray, give them double torment of the fire!' He will say, 'To each of you double! but ye do not know. ' ### Hamid S. Aziz He will say, "Enter you the Fire amongst the nations (communities) who have passed away before you - both of jinn and men. " Whenever a nation (community) enters therein, it curses its sister (nation, community); until, when they have followed each other into the Fire, the last of them will say about the first, "O our Lord! These it was who led us astray, give them a double penalty of the Fire!" He will say, "Double for each of you!" But this you do not understand. ### Mahmoud Ghali Says He, "Enter among nations that already passed away even before you, of the jinn and humankind, into the Fire. " Whenever a nation enters, it curses its sister-nation until when they altogether have successively overtaken (each) other, the last of them will say to the first of them, "Our Lord, these led us into error, so bring them a double torment of the Fire." Says He, "To each a double, but you do not know." ### George Sale God shall say unto them at the resurrection, enter ye with the nations which have preceded you, of genii and of men, into hell fire: So often as one nation shall enter, it shall curse its sister, until they shall all have successively entered therein. The latter of them shall say of the former of them, O Lord, these have seduced us; therefore inflict on them a double punishment of the fire of hell. God shall answer, it shall be doubled unto all; but ye know it not. ### Syed Vickar Ahamed He (Allah) will say: "You enter the company of the peoples who passed away before you— Men and jinns'— Into the Fire. " Every time a new (group of) people enters, it curses its peoples of related place (and time before) until they follow each other, all into the Fire. Say the last (group) about the first (group): "Our Lord! It is these (people) who misled us: So give them a double the penalty of the Fire." He will say: "Doubled for all:" But this you do not understand. ### Amatul Rahman Omar He (- God) will say, `Enter into the Fire along with the communities that have passed away before you, from among the jinns and ordinary people. ' Every time a (new) community enters it, it curses its sister (evil-doing community), until when they have all followed one another into it, the last of them will say with regard to the first of them (-the leaders), `Our Lord! these led us astray so give them punishment of the Fire over and over again.' He will say, `Everyone is having (his punishment) over and over again, but you do not know (about one another).' ### Ali Quli Qarai He will say, ‘Enter, along with the nations who passed before you of jinn and humans, into the Fire!’ Every time that a nation enters [hell], it will curse its sister [nation]. When they all rejoin in it, the last of them will say about the first of them, ‘Our Lord, it was they who led us astray; so give them a double punishment of the Fire.’ He will say, ‘It is double for each [of you], but you do not know.’ ### Ahmed Hulusi — Türkçe Kur'an Çözümü Buyurdu: "Sizden önce geçmiş cinnden ve insten topluluklar arasında, Nar'a (ateşe - radyasyona - yakıcı dalga boyu ortamına) dahil olun". . .

Baskı) — Kerim Kur'an Buyurdu ki: "Sizden önceki cinn[1] ve insten[1] ümmetler[2] arasında siz de ateşe girin. Her ümmet girdikçe, yoldaşlarına lanet etti. Birbiri ardına hepsi orada toplandığı zaman; sonrakiler öncekiler için: "Ey Rabb'imiz! Bunlar bizi saptırdılar, bunlara ateşten bir kat daha azap ver." "Hepsi için bir kat fazla vardır, ama siz bilmezsiniz."[3] dedi. _Footnotes_ - [1] "İns ve cinn", Kur'an'da birleşik bir ifade olarak kalıp şeklinde kullanılmaktadır. Bu terkibe, "insanlar ve cinler" şeklinde anlam verilmesi doğru değildir. İns ve Cinn terkip olarak: Yerli- yabancı, tanıdık- tanımadık, bilinen- bilinmeyen kimseler; diğer bir ifade ile her kes, her kim varsa demektir. "Ne var, ne yok" her şeyi içine alan bir anlama sahiptir. Bu terkipteki cinn sözcüğü, "görünmez olan, dumansız ateşten yaratılmış varlık" anlamındaki cinn değildir. Kur'an'ın; Cahiliye'nin cinn algısı bağlamında, cinn kavramını kullanmış olmasının cinler hakkında ontolojik bilgi olarak görülmesi önemli bir yanılgıdır. Kur'an, Cahiliye'nin cinn algısını sapkınlık olarak nitelemekte ve Cahiliye'nin cinlere atfettikleri nitelikleri reddetmektedir. Kur'an'a göre; cinlerin, üstün varlıklar ve üstün güçlere sahip olduğu inancı cahili bir inançtır. Müşriklerin; Nebiye kahin, şair, mecnun lakabı takmaları, onların cinn inançlarının bir sonucudur. Cinn, sözcük olarak, "kapalı, gözükmez varlık ve güç" demektir. - [2] Topluluklar. - [3] Hepiniz, hak ettiğiniz azaba maruz kalacaksınız. ### Erhan Aktaş — Kerim Kur'an Buyurdu ki: "Sizden önceki cinn[1] ve insten[1] ümmetler[2] arasında siz de ateşe girin. Her ümmet girdikçe, yoldaşlarına lanet etti. Birbiri ardına hepsi orada toplandığı zaman; sonrakiler öncekiler için: "Ey Rabb'imiz! Bunlar bizi saptırdılar, bunlara ateşten bir kat daha azap ver." "Hepsi için bir kat fazla vardır, ama siz bilmezsiniz."[3] dedi. _Footnotes_ - [1] "İns ve cinn", Kur'an'da birleşik bir ifade olarak kalıp şeklinde kullanılmaktadır. Bu terkibe, "İnsanlar ve cinler" şeklinde anlam verilmesi doğru değildir. İns ve Cinn terkip olarak: Yerli- yabancı, tanıdık- tanımadık, bilinen- bilinmeyen kimseler; diğer bir ifade ile herkes, her kim varsa hepsi demektir.

Oraya giren her topluluk, kendi kardeş topluluğunu dışlayacaktır. Nihayet hepsi orada birbirleriyle buluşunca, sonra girenler, öncekiler için[1] şöyle diyeceklerdir: "Rabbimiz! İşte bizi bunlar saptırdılar. Sen o ateşin azabını bunlar için bir kat daha artır." Allah diyecek ki "Hepinizinki birer kat[2] artacak ama siz bunu bilmiyorsunuz." _Footnotes_ - [1] [Ahzab 33/66](https://quran.so/33/66)-[68,](https://quran.so/33/68) [İbrahim 14/21.](https://quran.so/14/21) - [2] [Furkan 25/68](https://quran.so/25/68)-[69.](https://quran.so/25/69) ## Words | # | word | meaning | root | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | قَالَ — qāla | He (will) say | قول — Kaf-Vav-Lam | | 2 | ٱدْخُلُوا۟ — ud'khulū | Enter | دخل — Dal-Kh-Lam | | 3 | فِىٓ — fī | among | — | | 4 | أُمَمٍۢ — umamin | (the) nations | امم — Elif-Mim-Mim | | 5 | قَدْ — qad | (who) | — | | 6 | خَلَتْ — khalat | passed away | خلو — Kh-Lam-Vav | | 7 | مِن — min | from | — | | 8 | قَبْلِكُم — qablikum | before you | قبل — Kaf-Be-Lam | | 9 | مِّنَ — mina | of | — | | 10 | ٱلْجِنِّ — l-jini | the jinn | جنن — Cim-Nun-Nun | | 11 | وَٱلْإِنسِ — wal-insi | and the men | انس — Elif-Nun-Sin | | 12 | فِى — fī | in | — | | 13 | ٱلنَّارِ ۖ — l-nāri | the Fire | نور — Nun-Vav-Ra | | 14 | كُلَّمَا — kullamā | Every time | كلل — Kef-Lam-Lam | | 15 | دَخَلَتْ — dakhalat | entered | دخل — Dal-Kh-Lam | | 16 | أُمَّةٌۭ — ummatun | a nation | امم — Elif-Mim-Mim | | 17 | لَّعَنَتْ — laʿanat | it cursed | لعن — Lam-Ayn-Nun | | 18 | أُخْتَهَا ۖ — ukh'tahā | its sister (nation) | اخو — Elif-Kh-Vav | | 19 | حَتَّىٰٓ — ḥattā | until | — | | 20 | إِذَا — idhā | when | — | | 21 | ٱدَّارَكُوا۟ — iddārakū | they had overtaken one another | درك — Dal-Ra-Kef | | 22 | فِيهَا — fīhā | in it | — | | 23 | جَمِيعًۭا — jamīʿan | all | جمع — Cim-Mim-Ayn | | 24 | قَالَتْ — qālat | (will) say | قول — Kaf-Vav-Lam | | 25 | أُخْرَىٰهُمْ — ukh'rāhum | (the) last of them | اخر — Elif-Kh-Ra | | 26 | لِأُولَىٰهُمْ — liūlāhum | about the first of them | اول — Elif-Vav-Lam | | 27 | رَبَّنَا — rabbanā | Our Lord | ربب — Ra-Ba-Ba | | 28 | هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ — hāulāi | these | — | | 29 | أَضَلُّونَا — aḍallūnā | misled us | ضلل — Dad-Lam-Lam | | 30 | فَـَٔاتِهِمْ — faātihim | so give them | اتي — Elif-Te-Ye | | 31 | عَذَابًۭا — ʿadhāban | punishment | عذب — Ayn-Zal-Be | | 32 | ضِعْفًۭا — ḍiʿ'fan | double | ضعف — Dad-Ayn-Fe | | 33 | مِّنَ — mina | of | — | | 34 | ٱلنَّارِ ۖ — l-nāri | the Fire | نور — Nun-Vav-Ra | | 35 | قَالَ — qāla | He (will) say | قول — Kaf-Vav-Lam | | 36 | لِكُلٍّۢ — likullin | For each | كلل — Kef-Lam-Lam | | 37 | ضِعْفٌۭ — ḍiʿ'fun | (is) a double | ضعف — Dad-Ayn-Fe | | 38 | وَلَـٰكِن — walākin | [and] but | — | | 39 | لَّا — lā | not | — | | 40 | تَعْلَمُونَ — taʿlamūna | you know | علم — Ayn-Lam-Mim | --- Previous: https://quran.so/surah-al-araf/verse-37.md · Next: https://quran.so/surah-al-araf/verse-39.md Retrieved: 2026-08-14 Quran.so — https://quran.so — CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 — When quoting, name the translator.
