إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَوَفَّىٰهُمُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ ظَالِمِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ قَالُوا۟ فِيمَ كُنتُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ قَالُوٓا۟ أَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُ ٱللَّهِ وَٰسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوا۟ فِيهَا ۚ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ مَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَسَآءَتْ مَصِيرًا

TRANSLITERATION

Innal-ladhīna tawaffāhumul-malāʾikatu ẓālimī anfusihim qālū fīma kuntum, qālū kunnā mustaḍʿafīna fil-arḍ, qālū alam takun arḍullāhi wāsiʿatan fatuhājirū fīhā, faʾulāʾika maʾwāhum jahannam, wasāʾat maṣīrā

ENGLISH TRANSLATION · TALAL ITANI

While the angels are removing the souls of those who have wronged themselves, they will say, “What was the matter with you?” They will say, “We were oppressed in the land.” They will say, “Was God’s earth not vast enough for you to emigrate in it?” These—their refuge is Hell. What a wretched retreat!
