The punishment of hypocrites and disbelievers

If the hypocrites and perverts, and the rumour-mongers of Madinah, do not desist even now, We shall rouse you against them, so they would not be able to live but a short time in the city with you.

Accursed, they would be seized wherever found, and slain mercilessly.

Such was the law of God among those before you; and you will not find any change in the law of God.

People ask you about the Hour (of the great change). Say: "Only God has knowledge of it. Who knows? The Hour may be close at hand."

Verily God has cursed the infidels, and prepared a blazing fire for them.

They will live in it for ever, and will find no saviour or helper.

The day their faces would be turned on the fire (as on a spit), they will say: "Alas! If only we had obeyed God, and obeyed the Prophet."

They will say: "O our Lord, we obeyed our leaders and the elders, but they only led us astray.

O Lord, give them a double punishment, and put a grievous curse upon them."
