قَالَ ٱللَّهُ هَٰذَا يَوْمُ يَنفَعُ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ صِدْقُهُمْ ۚ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٌۭ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًۭا ۚ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

خدا فرمائے گا کہ آج وہ دن ہے کہ راست بازوں کو ان کی سچائی ہی فائدہ دے گی ان کے لئے باغ ہیں جن کے نیچے نہریں بہہ رہی ہیں ابدالآباد ان میں بستے رہیں گے خدا ان سے خوش ہے اور وہ خدا سے خوش ہیں یہ بڑی کامیابی ہے

Allah saith: This is a day in which their truthfulness profiteth the truthful, for theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they are secure for ever, Allah taking pleasure in them and they in Him. That is the great triumph.
