Such is the Punishment (in this life); but greater is the Punishment in the Hereafter,- if only they knew!
Such was the punishment. And verily the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they did but know.
Such is the chastisement. And certainly the chastisement of the Hereafter is greater, did they but know!

Lo! for those who keep from evil are gardens of bliss with their Lord.
Surely the dutiful have with their Lord Gardens of bliss.
Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure.

or should We, perchance, treat those who surrender themselves unto Us as [We would treat] those who remain lost in sin?
Shall We then treat the People of Faith like the People of Sin?
Shall We then treat those who have surrendered as We treat the guilty?
Shall We then make those who submit as the guilty?
Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?
