The last 10 verses of Surah Kahf English Translation
- Those whose eyes had been within a cover [removed] from my remembrance, and they were not able to hear.
- Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take my servants instead of me as allies? Indeed, we have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.
- Say, [O Muhammad], “Shall we [believers] inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds?
- [They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work.”
- Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and we will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any weight.
- That is their recompense – Hell – for what they denied and [because] they took My signs and My messengers in ridicule.
- Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds – will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging,
- Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire any transfer from it.
- Say, “If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if we brought the like of it as a supplement.”
- Say, “I am only a man like you, to who has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord – let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone?”
