, then, one against whom the decree of Punishment is justly due
(equal to one who eschews Evil)? Wouldst thou, then, deliver one (who
is) in the Fire?

P: Is he on whom the word of doom is fulfilled (to be helped), and canst

Y: But it is for those who fear their Lord. That lofty mansions, one
above another, have been built: beneath them flow rivers (of delight):
