(For those who answered Allah's call) in the life of this world by accepting monotheism (is bliss) theirs is Paradise in the Hereafter; (and for those who answered not His call) the call of their Lord, thus rejecting monotheism, (if they had all that is in the earth) of gold and silver, (and therewith the like thereof) and its double with it, (they would proffer it as ransom) they would offer to ransom themselves. (Such will have a woeful reckoning) a severe chastisement, (and their habitation) their destination (will be hell, a dire abode) an evil resting place and destination.
