You nearly ruined me.Had it not been for the grace of my Lord, I ˹too˺ would have certainly been among those brought ˹to Hell˺.

قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ ‎
‏يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ ‎
‏أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ‎
‏قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ ‎
‏فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ‎
‏قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ ‎
‏وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ
The Surah speaks about the oneness of Allah in very strong terms. It talks about the teachings of various prophets of Allah. All of them preached the same message. It gives warnings to the non-believers that their plots against the message of Islam will not work. The truth will prevail.
ایک کہنے والا ان میں سے کہے گا کہ 
میرا ایک ہم نشین تھا (جو) کہتا تھا کہ 
بھلا تم بھی ایسی باتوں کے باور کرنے والوں میں ہو 
بھلا جب ہم مر گئے اور مٹی اور ہڈیاں ہوگئے 
تو کیا ہم کو بدلہ ملے گا؟ 
(پھر) کہے گا کہ 
بھلا تم (اسے) جھانک کر دیکھنا چاہتے ہو؟ 
(اتنے میں) وہ (خود) جھانکے گا تو اس کو وسط دوزخ میں دیکھے گا 
کہے گا کہ خدا کی قسم تُو تو مجھے ہلاک ہی کرچکا تھا 
اور اگر میرے پروردگار کی مہربانی نہ ہوتی تو میں بھی ان میں ہوتا جو (عذاب میں) حاضر کئے گئے ہیں
