Pray not that day for one destruction, but pray for many destructions!

اِذَا رَاَتۡهُمۡ مِّنۡ مَّكَانٍۢ بَعِيۡدٍ سَمِعُوۡا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَّزَفِيۡرًا ١٢
25:12When it seeth them from afar, they hear the crackling and the roar thereof.
وَاِذَاۤ اُلۡقُوۡا مِنۡهَا مَكَانًـا ضَيِّقًا مُّقَرَّنِيۡنَ دَعَوۡا هُنَالِكَ ثُبُوۡرًاؕ ١٣
25:13And when they are flung into a narrow place thereof, chained together, they pray for destruction there.
لَا تَدۡعُوا الۡيَوۡمَ ثُبُوۡرًا وَّاحِدًا وَّادۡعُوۡا ثُبُوۡرًا كَثِيۡرًا ١٤
25:14Pray not that day for one destruction, but pray for many destructions!
قُلۡ اَذٰ لِكَ خَيۡرٌ اَمۡ جَنَّةُ الۡخُـلۡدِ الَّتِىۡ وُعِدَ الۡمُتَّقُوۡنَؕ كَانَتۡ لَهُمۡ جَزَآءً وَّمَصِيۡرًا ١٥
25:15Say: Is that (doom) better or the Garden of Immortality which is promised unto those who ward off (evil)? It will be their reward and journey's end.
لَّهُمۡ فِيۡهَا مَا يَشَآءُوۡنَ خٰلِدِيۡنَؕ كَانَ عَلٰى رَبِّكَ وَعۡدًا مَّسۡـــُٔوۡلًا ١٦
25:16Therein abiding, they have all that they desire. It is for thy Lord a promise that must be fulfilled.
وَيَوۡمَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡ وَمَا يَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ فَيَقُوۡلُ ءَاَنۡـتُمۡ اَضۡلَلۡـتُمۡ عِبَادِىۡ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ اَمۡ هُمۡ ضَلُّوا السَّبِيۡلَؕ ١٧
25:17And on the day when He will assemble them and that which they worship instead of Allah and will say: Was it ye who misled these my slaves or did they (themselves) wander from the way?
قَالُوۡا سُبۡحٰنَكَ مَا كَانَ يَنۢۡبَغِىۡ لَنَاۤ اَنۡ نَّـتَّخِذَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِكَ مِنۡ اَوۡلِيَآءَ وَلٰـكِنۡ مَّتَّعۡتَهُمۡ وَاٰبَآءَهُمۡ حَتّٰى نَسُوا الذِّكۡرَۚ وَكَانُوۡا قَوۡمًۢـا بُوۡرًا ١٨
25:18They will say: Be Thou glorified! it was not for us to choose any protecting friends beside thee; but Thou didst give them and their fathers ease till they forgot the warning and became lost folk.
فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُوۡكُمۡ بِمَا تَقُوۡلُوۡنَۙ فَمَا تَسۡتَطِيۡعُوۡنَ صَرۡفًا وَّلَا نَـصۡرًاۚ وَمَنۡ يَّظۡلِمۡ مِّنۡكُمۡ نُذِقۡهُ عَذَابًا كَبِيۡرًا ١٩
25:19Thus they will give you the lie regarding what ye say, then ye can neither avert (the doom) nor obtain help. And whoso among you doeth wrong, We shall make him taste great torment.
وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا قَبۡلَكَ مِنَ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَ اِلَّاۤ اِنَّهُمۡ لَيَاۡكُلُوۡنَ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمۡشُوۡنَ فِى الۡاَسۡوَاقِؕ وَجَعَلۡنَا بَعۡضَكُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ فِتۡنَةًؕ اَتَصۡبِرُوۡنَۚ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ بَصِيۡرًا ٢٠
25:20We never sent before thee any messengers but lo! they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have appointed some of you a test for others: Will ye be steadfast? And thy Lord is ever Seer.
