˹Consider the Day˺ when they will dispute in the Fire, and the lowly ˹followers˺ will appeal to the arrogant ˹leaders˺, “We were your ˹dedicated˺ followers, will you then shield us from a portion of the Fire?” The arrogant will say, “We are all in it! ˹For˺ Allah has already passed judgment over ˹His˺ servants.” And those in the Fire will cry out to the keepers of Hell, “Pray to your Lord to lighten the torment for us ˹even˺ for one day!” The keepers will reply, “Did your messengers not ˹constantly˺ come to you with clear proofs?” They will say, “Yes ˹they did˺.” The keepers will say, “Then pray! Though the prayer of the disbelievers is only in vain.”
Ghafir (Arabic: غافر, ghāfir; meaning: “The All-Forgiving”, referring to God), also known as Al-Muʼmin (Arabic: المؤمن, ’al-mu’min; meaning: The Believer), is the 40th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur’an, with 85 verses (āyāt).

وَإِذْ يَتَحَآجُّونَ فِى ٱلنَّارِ فَيَقُولُ ٱلضُّعَفَٓؤُا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًۭا فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّغْنُونَ عَنَّا نَصِيبًۭا مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ ‎ ‏قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُلٌّۭ فِيهَآ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدْ حَكَمَ بَيْنَ ٱلْعِبَادِ ‎ ‏وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى ٱلنَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ٱدْعُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ يُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا يَوْمًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ‎ ‏قَالُوٓا۟ أَوَلَمْ تَكُ تَأْتِيكُمْ رُسُلُكُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَتِۖ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰۚ قَالُوا۟ فَٱدْعُوا۟ۗ وَمَا دُعَٓؤُا۟ ٱلْكَفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَلٍ
There are seven Surahs (al-Mu’min, HaMim al-Sajdah, al-Shura, al-Zukhruf, al-Dukhan, al-Jathiyah, al-Ahqaf) that begin with the word “HaMim”. Thus these seven Surahs are also called “al-Hawamim”. These are Surahs of Da’wah, inviting people to believe in Allah, take advantage of the mercy of Allah. There is solace and comfort in these Surahs for the Believers who were persecuted because of their faith and they are given the good news that the truth will prevail.
اور جب وہ دوزخ میں جھگڑیں گے تو ادنیٰ درجے کے لوگ بڑے آدمیوں سے کہیں گے کہ ہم تو تمہارے تابع تھے تو کیا تم دوزخ (کے عذاب) کا کچھ حصہ ہم سے دور کرسکتے ہو؟ بڑے آدمی کہیں گے کہ تم (بھی اور) ہم (بھی) سب دوزخ میں (رہیں گے) خدا بندوں میں فیصلہ کرچکا ہے اور جو لوگ آگ میں (جل رہے) ہوں گے وہ دوزخ کے داروغوں سے کہیں گے کہ اپنے پروردگار سے دعا کرو کہ ایک روز تو ہم سے عذاب ہلکا کردے وہ کہیں گے کہ کیا تمہارے پاس تمہارے پیغمبر نشانیاں لے کر نہیں آئے تھے۔ وہ کہیں گے کیوں نہیں تو وہ کہیں گے کہ تم ہی دعا کرو۔ اور کافروں کی دعا (اس روز) بےکار ہوگی
