"And if every soul that has transgressed"—meaning: committed shirk (polytheism)—"had all that is in the earth"—of gold and silver—"it would offer it as a ransom"—on the Day of Resurrection—"for [itself] against the punishment of Allah" (Glorified and Exalted be He).

"And they will conceal the regret when they see the punishment"—meaning: when they have entered into it—"and it will be judged between them"—meaning: it will be decided between them—"with justice"—with fairness.
