Quote:
{23:101} So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.

{23:102} And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the successful.

{23:103} But those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding eternally.

{23:104} The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein will have taut smiles.

{23:105} [It will be said]. "Were not My verses recited to you and you used to deny them?"

{23:106} They will say, "Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.

{23:107} Our Lord, remove us from it, and if we were to return [to evil], we would indeed be wrongdoers."

{23:108} He will say, "Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me.

{23:109} Indeed, there was a party of My servants who said, 'Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the best of the merciful.'

{23:110} But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.

{23:111} Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance - that they are the attainers [of success]."

I suggest,

{23:101} So, when the Horn is blown, no lineage will there be between them that Day, nor will they ask one another.

{23:102} And those whose scales (of good deeds) are heavy - it is those who are the successful.

{23:103} But those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls, in Hell staying eternally.

{23:104} The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein are morose.

{23:105} [God will say to them]. "Were not My verses being recited to you and you used to belie them?"

{23:106} They will say, "Our Lord, our misery overcame us, and we were a folk astray."

{23:107} "Our Lord, get us out of it, and if we were to return (to disbelief), then indeed we are wrongdoers."

{23:108} He will say, "Sink lowly therein and do not speak to Me."

{23:109} "Verily, it was that a band of My worshipers used to say, 'Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the best of the merciful.'"

{23:110} "But you took them in ridicule until they had you forget My remembrance, and at them you used to laugh."

{23:111} "Verily, I have rewarded them Today for what they endured - that they are the winners."
