Our dear Dhimmie uses Google Translate!!

How could someone who professed to know Arabic cannot understand the literal meaning of this ayat let alone the symbolic meaning? You translated the words but you can't understand it!! I call this google translation at it's best. The reason why you cannot understand what it means is because your translation is not good

Your translation:

And those that are unbelievers their acts are like a mirage that stays and is regarded by he who is dehydrated as water until (it) comes to him and will not find it (water or) anything and finds allah at him and porvided (grammatical aspect) him with his account allah is fast in accounting

What?

A better translation:

As for those who disbelieved, their deeds (works) are like a mirage in a Qi`ah. The thirsty one thinks it to be water until he comes up to it, he finds it to be nothing; but he finds Allah with him, Who will pay him his due reward( the reward for his deeds). And Allah is swift in taking account.

Basically, Allah is the telling the disbeliever that everything that he amasses on this earth is nothing more than an illusion. The work that he does for this illusion will not profit him. And instead of finding success he will find Allah who will give him what he has earned, which is nothing but wrath. So not only will he not find sustenance that he devoted his life to, but he will remain thirsty while receiving the wrath of Allah.

This is a understanding the Google translate can not give you. Your welcome.
