(13:18) Those who have answered their Lord, (are given) the best. And those who answered not unto Him, (receive their) reckoning for wrong-doers! (If they took possession) of all that is in the earth and as much more, they would (eagerly desire) to be repaid with it. Their abode (would be) Samsara. And how wretched is this bed!

(13:18) لِلَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُواْ لِرَبِّهِمُ الْحُسْنَى وَالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُواْ لَهُ لَوْ أَنَّ لَهُم مَّا فِي الأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا وَمِثْلَهُ مَعَهُ لاَفْتَدَوْاْ بِهِ أُوْلَئِكَ لَهُمْ سُوءُ الْحِسَابِ وَمَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ
