Verse 31

وَمَا And not جَعَلْنَآ We have made أَصْحَـٰبَ keepers ٱلنَّارِ (of) the Fire إِلَّا except مَلَـٰٓئِكَةًۭ ۙ Angels وَمَا And not جَعَلْنَا We have made عِدَّتَهُمْ their number إِلَّا except فِتْنَةًۭ (as) a trial لِّلَّذِينَ for those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ that may be certain ٱلَّذِينَ those who أُوتُوا۟ were given ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Scripture وَيَزْدَادَ and may increase ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوٓا۟ believe إِيمَـٰنًۭا ۙ (in) faith وَلَا and not يَرْتَابَ may doubt ٱلَّذِينَ those who أُوتُوا۟ were given ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Scripture وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ and the believers وَلِيَقُولَ and that may say ٱلَّذِينَ those فِى in قُلُوبِهِم their hearts مَّرَضٌۭ (is) a disease وَٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ and the disbelievers مَاذَآ What أَرَادَ (does) intend ٱللَّهُ Allah بِهَـٰذَا by this مَثَلًۭا ۚ example كَذَٰلِكَ Thus يُضِلُّ does let go astray ٱللَّهُ Allah مَن whom يَشَآءُ He wills وَيَهْدِى and guides مَن whom يَشَآءُ ۚ He wills وَمَا And none يَعْلَمُ knows جُنُودَ (the) hosts رَبِّكَ (of) your Lord إِلَّا except هُوَ ۚ Him وَمَا And not هِىَ it إِلَّا (is) but ذِكْرَىٰ a reminder لِلْبَشَرِ to (the) human beings ٣١

And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is disease [i.e., hypocrisy] and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allāh intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allāh send astray whom He wills and guide whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And it [i.e., mention of the Fire] is not but a reminder to humanity.
