ان الذين توفاهم الملائكة ظالمي انفسهم قالوا فيم كنتم قالوا كنا مستضعفين في الارض قالوا الم تكن ارض الله واسعة فتهاجروا فيها فاولئك ماواهم جهنم وساءت مصيرا

When angels take The souls of those Who die in sin Against their souls, They say: "In what (plight) Were ye?" They reply: "Weak and oppressed Were we in the earth." They say: "Was not The earth of God Spacious enough for you To move yourselves away (From evil)?" Such men Will find their abode In Hell,—What an evil Refuge!—
