10. 10

    Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning.

    إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ

11. 11

13. 13

    Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth,

    إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

    بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍۢ

20. 20

    And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them.

    وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ
