Transliteration
Wattaqoo Yawmal laa tajzee nafsun 'an nafsin shai'anw wa laa yuqbalu minhaa shafaa'atunw wa laa yu'khazu minhaa 'adlunw wa laa hum yunsaroon
Translation
And fear a Day when no soul will suffice for another soul at all, nor will intercession be accepted from it, nor will compensation be taken from it, nor will they be aided.
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
Protect yourselves against the Day of Judgement by following Allah’s instructions and staying away from what He has prohibited. On that day no soul will be able to help another in any way, and no pleading on their behalf will be accepted to benefit them or protect them from harm, except with Allah’s permission, and no ransom will be taken, even if it were to be the earth filled with gold. They will have no helpers on that day. Without appeal, ransom or helper, to where will they turn?
