And those who believe will say, `Verily the [true] losers are those who have lost themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection, for being condemned to abide forever in the Fire and for not being able to attain [the blissful company of] the houris prepared for them in Paradise had they been believers (the relative clause [alladhna khasir ..., `those who have lost ...'] constitutes the predicate of the particle inna, `verily'). Truly the wrongdoers, the disbelievers, will be in lasting, everlasting, chastisement -- these [words] constitute God's speech, exalted be He.
