بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Bismillāhir-Raḥmānir-Raḥīm
“In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.”
عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
About what are they asking one another?
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
About the great news -
ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ
That over which they are in disagreement.
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
No! They are going to know.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Then, no! They are going to know.
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَـٰدًا
Have We not made the earth a resting place?
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا
And the mountains as stakes?
وَخَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا
And We created you in pairs
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا
And made your sleep [a means for] rest
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا
And made the night as clothing
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا
And made the day for livelihood
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا
And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا
And made [therein] a burning lamp
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا
And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water
لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا
That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation
وَجَنَّـٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا
And gardens of entwined growth.
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَـٰتًا
Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -
يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا
The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes
وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا
And the heaven is opened and will become gateways
وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا
And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا
Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait
لِّلطَّـٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًا
For the transgressors, a place of return,
لَّـٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًا
In which they will remain for ages [unending].
لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا
They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink
إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا
Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -
جَزَآءً وِفَاقًا
An appropriate recompense.
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا
Indeed, they were not expecting an account
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا
And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.
وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَـٰهُ كِتَـٰبًا
But all things We have enumerated in writing.
فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا
"So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا
Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -
حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَـٰبًا
Gardens and grapevines
وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا
And full-breasted [companions] of equal age
وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا
And a full cup.
لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًا
No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -
جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا
[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,
رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا
[From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا
The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.
ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا
That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.
إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَـٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا
Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
