Surah Yunus · Ayah 4·Makkī

4

إِلَيْهِ إِنَّهُۥ ثُمَّ ٱلَّذِينَ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ بِمَا ﴿٤﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

To Him is your return all together. [It is] the promise of Allah [which is] truth. Indeed, He begins the [process of] creation and then repeats it that He may reward those who have believed and done righteous deeds, in justice. But those who disbelieved will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment for what they used to deny.
