Juz 30

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ۝١

Whereof do they question one another?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ۝٢

(It is) of the awful tidings,

ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ۝٣

Concerning which they are in disagreement.

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ۝٤

Nay, but they will come to know!

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ۝٥

Nay, again, but they will come to know!

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَـٰدًا۝٦

Have We not made the earth an expanse,

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا۝٧

And the high hills bulwarks?

وَخَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا۝٨

And We have created you in pairs,

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا۝٩

And have appointed your sleep for repose,

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا۝١٠

And have appointed the night as a cloak,

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا۝١١

And have appointed the day for livelihood.

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا۝١٢

And We have built above you seven strong (heavens),

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا۝١٣

And have appointed a dazzling lamp,

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا۝١٤

And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water,

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا۝١٥

Thereby to produce grain and plant,

وَجَنَّـٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا۝١٦

And gardens of thick foliage.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَـٰتًا۝١٧

Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time,

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا۝١٨

A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes,

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا۝١٩

And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates,

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا۝٢٠

And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا۝٢١

Lo! hell lurketh in ambush,

لِّلطَّـٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًا۝٢٢

A home for the rebellious.

لَّـٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًا۝٢٣

They will abide therein for ages.

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا۝٢٤

Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا۝٢٥

Save boiling water and a paralysing cold:

جَزَآءً وِفَاقًا۝٢٦

Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds).

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا۝٢٧

For lo! they looked not for a reckoning;

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا۝٢٨

They called Our revelations false with strong denial.

وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَـٰهُ كِتَـٰبًا۝٢٩

Everything have We recorded in a Book.

فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا۝٣٠

So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment.

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا۝٣١

Lo! for the duteous is achievement -

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَـٰبًا۝٣٢

Gardens enclosed and vineyards,

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا۝٣٣

And voluptuous women of equal age;

وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا۝٣٤

And a full cup.

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًا۝٣٥

There hear they never vain discourse, nor lying -

جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا۝٣٦

Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment -

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا۝٣٧

Lord of the heavens and the earth, and (all) that is between them, the Beneficent; with Whom none can converse.

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا۝٣٨

On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right.

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا۝٣٩

That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord.

إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَـٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا۝٤٠

Lo! We warn you of a doom at hand, a day whereon a man will look on that which his own hands have sent before, and the disbeliever will cry: "Would that I were dust!"

وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرْقًا۝١

By those who drag forth to destruction,

وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشْطًا۝٢

By the meteors rushing,

وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبْحًا۝٣

By the lone stars floating,

فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبْقًا۝٤

By the angels hastening,

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا۝٥

And those who govern the event,

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ۝٦

On the day when the first trump resoundeth.

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ۝٧

And the second followeth it,

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ۝٨

On that day hearts beat painfully

أَبْصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌ۝٩

While eyes are downcast

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ۝١٠

(Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًا نَّخِرَةً۝١١

Even after we are crumbled bones?

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ۝١٢

They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ۝١٣

Surely it will need but one shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ۝١٤

And lo! they will be awakened.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ۝١٥

Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses?

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى۝١٦

How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ۝١٧

(Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled -

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ۝١٨

And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace)?

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ۝١٩

Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him).

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ۝٢٠

And he showed him the tremendous token.

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ۝٢١

But he denied and disobeyed,

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ۝٢٢

Then turned he away in haste,

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ۝٢٣

Then gathered he and summoned

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ۝٢٤

And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest."

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ۝٢٥

So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ۝٢٦

Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا۝٢٧

Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built?

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا۝٢٨

He raised the height thereof and ordered it;

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا۝٢٩

And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ۝٣٠

And after that He spread the earth,

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا۝٣١

And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا۝٣٢

And He made fast the hills,

مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ۝٣٣

A provision for you and for your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ۝٣٤

But when the great disaster cometh,

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ۝٣٥

The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ۝٣٦

And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ۝٣٧

Then, as for him who rebelled

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا۝٣٨

And chose the life of the world,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ۝٣٩

Lo! hell will be his home.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ۝٤٠

But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ۝٤١

Lo! the Garden will be his home.

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا۝٤٢

They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port?

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ۝٤٣

Why (ask they)? What hast thou to tell thereof?

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ۝٤٤

Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof.

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا۝٤٥

Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا۝٤٦

On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ۝١

He frowned and turned away

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ۝٢

Because the blind man came unto him.

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ۝٣

What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace)

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ۝٤

Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him?

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ۝٥

As for him who thinketh himself independent,

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ۝٦

Unto him thou payest regard.

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ۝٧

Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace).

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ۝٨

But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ۝٩

And hath fear,

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ۝١٠

From him thou art distracted.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ۝١١

Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment,

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ۝١٢

So let whosoever will pay heed to it,

فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ۝١٣

On honoured leaves

مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ۝١٤

Exalted, purified,

بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ۝١٥

(Set down) by scribes

كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ۝١٦

Noble and righteous.

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ۝١٧

Man is (self-)destroyed: how ungrateful!

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ۝١٨

From what thing doth He create him?

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ۝١٩

From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him,

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ۝٢٠

Then maketh the way easy for him,

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ۝٢١

Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ۝٢٢

Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life.

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ۝٢٣

Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ۝٢٤

Let man consider his food:

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا۝٢٥

How We pour water in showers

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا۝٢٦

Then split the earth in clefts

فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا۝٢٧

And cause the grain to grow therein

وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا۝٢٨

And grapes and green fodder

وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا۝٢٩

And olive-trees and palm-trees

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا۝٣٠

And garden-closes of thick foliage

وَفَـٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا۝٣١

And fruits and grasses:

مَّتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ۝٣٢

Provision for you and your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ۝٣٣

But when the Shout cometh

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ۝٣٤

On the day when a man fleeth from his brother

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ۝٣٥

And his mother and his father

وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ۝٣٦

And his wife and his children,

لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ۝٣٧

Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others).

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ۝٣٨

On that day faces will be bright as dawn,

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ۝٣٩

Laughing, rejoicing at good news;

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ۝٤٠

And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them,

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ۝٤١

Veiled in darkness,

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ۝٤٢

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.

إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ۝١

When the sun is overthrown,

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ۝٢

And when the stars fall,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ۝٣

And when the hills are moved,

وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ۝٤

And when the camels big with young are abandoned,

وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ۝٥

And when the wild beasts are herded together,

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ۝٦

And when the seas rise,

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ۝٧

And when souls are reunited,

وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ۝٨

And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked

بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍ قُتِلَتْ۝٩

For what sin she was slain,

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ۝١٠

And when the pages are laid open,

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ۝١١

And when the sky is torn away,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ۝١٢

And when hell is lighted,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ۝١٣

And when the Garden is brought nigh,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ۝١٤

(Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready.

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ۝١٥

Oh, but I call to witness the planets,

ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ۝١٦

The stars which rise and set,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ۝١٧

And the close of night,

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ۝١٨

And the breath of morning

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ۝١٩

That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,

ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ۝٢٠

Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ۝٢١

(One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ۝٢٢

And your comrade is not mad.

وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ۝٢٣

Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ۝٢٤

And he is not avid of the Unseen.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ۝٢٥

Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned.

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ۝٢٦

Whither then go ye?

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ۝٢٧

This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ۝٢٨

Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ۝٢٩

And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ۝١

When the heaven is cleft asunder,

وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ۝٢

When the planets are dispersed,

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ۝٣

When the seas are poured forth,

وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ۝٤

And the sepulchres are overturned,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ۝٥

A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ۝٦

O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ۝٧

Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee?

فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ۝٨

Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.

كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ۝٩

Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَـٰفِظِينَ۝١٠

Lo! there are above you guardians,

كِرَامًا كَـٰتِبِينَ۝١١

Generous and recording,

يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ۝١٢

Who know (all) that ye do.

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ۝١٣

Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight.

وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ۝١٤

And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell;

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ۝١٥

They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ۝١٦

And will not be absent thence.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ۝١٧

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!

ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ۝١٨

Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ۝١٩

A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's.

وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ۝١

Woe unto the defrauders:

ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ۝٢

Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ۝٣

But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ۝٤

Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again

لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ۝٥

Unto an Awful Day,

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ۝٦

The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds?

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ۝٧

Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ۝٨

Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -

كِتَـٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ۝٩

A written record.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ۝١٠

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ۝١١

Those who deny the Day of Judgment

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ۝١٢

Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,

إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَـٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ۝١٣

Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.

كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ۝١٤

Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ۝١٥

Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ۝١٦

Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ۝١٧

And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny.

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ۝١٨

Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin -

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ۝١٩

Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! -

كِتَـٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ۝٢٠

A written record,

يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ۝٢١

Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord).

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ۝٢٢

Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ۝٢٣

On couches, gazing,

تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ۝٢٤

Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.

يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ۝٢٥

They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,

خِتَـٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَـٰفِسُونَ۝٢٦

Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -

وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ۝٢٧

And mixed with water of Tasnim,

عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ۝٢٨

A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ۝٢٩

Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ۝٣٠

And wink one to another when they passed them;

وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ۝٣١

And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ۝٣٢

And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.

وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَـٰفِظِينَ۝٣٣

Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.

فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ۝٣٤

This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ۝٣٥

On high couches, gazing.

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ۝٣٦

Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do?

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ۝١

When the heaven is split asunder

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ۝٢

And attentive to her Lord in fear,

وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ۝٣

And when the earth is spread out

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ۝٤

And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ۝٥

And attentive to her Lord in fear!

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَـٰقِيهِ۝٦

Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ۝٧

Then whoso is given his account in his right hand

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا۝٨

He truly will receive an easy reckoning

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا۝٩

And will return unto his folk in joy.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ۝١٠

But whoso is given his account behind his back,

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا۝١١

He surely will invoke destruction

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا۝١٢

And be thrown to scorching fire.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا۝١٣

He verily lived joyous with his folk,

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ۝١٤

He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).

بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا۝١٥

Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ۝١٦

Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,

وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ۝١٧

And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ۝١٨

And by the moon when she is at the full,

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ۝١٩

That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ۝٢٠

What aileth them, then, that they believe not

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩۝٢١

And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah)?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ۝٢٢

Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;

وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ۝٢٣

And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ۝٢٤

So give them tidings of a painful doom,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ۝٢٥

Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ۝١

By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars,

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ۝٢

And by the Promised Day.

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ۝٣

And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony,

قُتِلَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ۝٤

(Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ۝٥

Of the fuel-fed fire,

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ۝٦

When they sat by it,

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ۝٧

And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers.

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ۝٨

They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise,

ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ۝٩

Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ۝١٠

Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ۝١١

Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success.

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ۝١٢

Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ۝١٣

Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth,

وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ۝١٤

And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ۝١٥

Lord of the Throne of Glory,

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ۝١٦

Doer of what He will.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ۝١٧

Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ۝١٨

Of Pharaoh and (the tribe of) Thamud?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍ۝١٩

Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ۝٢٠

And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌ مَّجِيدٌ۝٢١

Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an.

فِى لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ۝٢٢

On a guarded tablet.

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ۝١

By the heaven and the Morning Star

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ۝٢

- Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!

ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ۝٣

- The piercing Star!

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ۝٤

No human soul but hath a guardian over it.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ۝٥

So let man consider from what he is created.

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ۝٦

He is created from a gushing fluid

يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ۝٧

That issued from between the loins and ribs.

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ۝٨

Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ۝٩

On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ۝١٠

Then will he have no might nor any helper.

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ۝١١

By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,

وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ۝١٢

And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ۝١٣

Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,

وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ۝١٤

It is no pleasantry.

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا۝١٥

Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا۝١٦

And I plot a plot (against them).

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا۝١٧

So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.

سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى۝١

Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ۝٢

Who createth, then disposeth;

وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ۝٣

Who measureth, then guideth;

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ۝٤

Who bringeth forth the pasturage,

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ۝٥

Then turneth it to russet stubble.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ۝٦

We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ۝٧

Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden;

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ۝٨

And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease.

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ۝٩

Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder.

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ۝١٠

He will heed who feareth,

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى۝١١

But the most hapless will flout it,

ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ۝١٢

He who will be flung to the great Fire

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ۝١٣

Wherein he will neither die nor live.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ۝١٤

He is successful who groweth,

وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ۝١٥

And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth,

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا۝١٦

But ye prefer the life of the world

وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ۝١٧

Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ۝١٨

Lo! This is in the former scrolls.

صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ۝١٩

The Books of Abraham and Moses.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَـٰشِيَةِ۝١

Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming?

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَـٰشِعَةٌ۝٢

On that day (many) faces will be downcast,

عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ۝٣

Toiling, weary,

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً۝٤

Scorched by burning fire,

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍ۝٥

Drinking from a boiling spring,

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ۝٦

No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍ۝٧

Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ۝٨

In that day other faces will be calm,

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ۝٩

Glad for their effort past,

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ۝١٠

In a high Garden

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَـٰغِيَةً۝١١

Where they hear no idle speech,

فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ۝١٢

Wherein is a gushing spring,

فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ۝١٣

Wherein are couches raised

وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ۝١٤

And goblets set at hand

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ۝١٥

And cushions ranged

وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ۝١٦

And silken carpets spread.

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ۝١٧

Will they not regard the camels, how they are created?

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ۝١٨

And the heaven, how it is raised?

وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ۝١٩

And the hills, how they are set up?

وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ۝٢٠

And the earth, how it is spread?

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ۝٢١

Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ۝٢٢

Thou art not at all a warder over them.

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ۝٢٣

But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ۝٢٤

Allah will punish him with direst punishment.

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ۝٢٥

Lo! unto Us is their return

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم۝٢٦

And Ours their reckoning.

وَٱلْفَجْرِ۝١

By the Dawn

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ۝٢

And ten nights,

وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ۝٣

And the Even and the Odd,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ۝٤

And the night when it departeth,

هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ۝٥

There surely is an oath for thinking man.

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ۝٦

Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) A'ad,

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ۝٧

With many-columned Iram,

ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ۝٨

The like of which was not created in the lands;

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ۝٩

And with (the tribe of) Thamud, who clove the rocks in the valley;

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ۝١٠

And with Pharaoh, firm of might,

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ۝١١

Who (all) were rebellious (to Allah) in these lands,

فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ۝١٢

And multiplied iniquity therein?

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ۝١٣

Therefore thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ۝١٤

Lo! thy Lord is ever watchful.

فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ۝١٥

As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me.

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَـٰنَنِ۝١٦

But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me.

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ۝١٧

Nay, but ye (for your part) honour not the orphan

وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ۝١٨

And urge not on the feeding of the poor.

وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا۝١٩

And ye devour heritages with devouring greed.

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا۝٢٠

And love wealth with abounding love.

كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا۝٢١

Nay, but when the earth is ground to atoms, grinding, grinding,

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا۝٢٢

And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank,

وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ۝٢٣

And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him)?

يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى۝٢٤

He will say: Ah, would that I had sent before me (some provision) for my life!

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ۝٢٥

None punisheth as He will punish on that day!

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ۝٢٦

None bindeth as He then will bind.

يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ۝٢٧

But ah! thou soul at peace!

ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً۝٢٨

Return unto thy Lord, content in His good pleasure!

فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَـٰدِى۝٢٩

Enter thou among My bondmen!

وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى۝٣٠

Enter thou My Garden!

لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ۝١

Nay, I swear by this city -

وَأَنتَ حِلٌّۢ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ۝٢

And thou art an indweller of this city -

وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ۝٣

And the begetter and that which he begat,

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ۝٤

We verily have created man in an atmosphere:

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ۝٥

Thinketh he that none hath power over him?

يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا۝٦

And he saith: I have destroyed vast wealth:

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ۝٧

Thinketh he that none beholdeth him?

أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عَيْنَيْنِ۝٨

Did We not assign unto him two eyes

وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ۝٩

And a tongue and two lips,

وَهَدَيْنَـٰهُ ٱلنَّجْدَيْنِ۝١٠

And guide him to the parting of the mountain ways?

فَلَا ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱلْعَقَبَةَ۝١١

But he hath not attempted the Ascent -

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْعَقَبَةُ۝١٢

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Ascent is! -

فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ۝١٣

(It is) to free a slave,

أَوْ إِطْعَـٰمٌ فِى يَوْمٍ ذِى مَسْغَبَةٍ۝١٤

And to feed in the day of hunger.

يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ۝١٥

An orphan near of kin,

أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ۝١٦

Or some poor wretch in misery,

ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْمَرْحَمَةِ۝١٧

And to be of those who believe and exhort one another to perseverance and exhort one another to pity.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ۝١٨

Their place will be on the right hand.

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ۝١٩

But those who disbelieve Our revelations, their place will be on the left hand.

عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌۢ۝٢٠

Fire will be an awning over them.

وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا۝١

By the sun and his brightness,

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا۝٢

And the moon when she followeth him,

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا۝٣

And the day when it revealeth him,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا۝٤

And the night when it enshroudeth him,

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا۝٥

And the heaven and Him Who built it,

وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا۝٦

And the earth and Him Who spread it,

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا۝٧

And a soul and Him Who perfected it

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا۝٨

And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا۝٩

He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow,

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا۝١٠

And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ۝١١

(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا۝١٢

When the basest of them broke forth

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَـٰهَا۝١٣

And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink!

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا۝١٤

But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَـٰهَا۝١٥

He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ۝١

By the night enshrouding

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ۝٢

And the day resplendent

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ۝٣

And Him Who hath created male and female,

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ۝٤

Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ۝٥

As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ۝٦

And believeth in goodness;

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ۝٧

Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ۝٨

But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ۝٩

And disbelieveth in goodness;

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ۝١٠

Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ۝١١

His riches will not save him when he perisheth.

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ۝١٢

Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ۝١٣

And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ۝١٤

Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire

لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى۝١٥

Which only the most wretched must endure,

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ۝١٦

He who denieth and turneth away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى۝١٧

Far removed from it will be the righteous

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ۝١٨

Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ۝١٩

And none hath with him any favour for reward,

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ۝٢٠

Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ۝٢١

He verily will be content.

وَٱلضُّحَىٰ۝١

By the morning hours

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ۝٢

And by the night when it is stillest,

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ۝٣

Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,

وَلَلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ۝٤

And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ۝٥

And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ۝٦

Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee)?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ۝٧

Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee)?

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ۝٨

Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee)?

فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ۝٩

Therefor the orphan oppress not,

وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ۝١٠

Therefor the beggar drive not away,

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ۝١١

Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.

أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ۝١

Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,

وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ۝٢

And eased thee of the burden

ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ۝٣

Which weighed down thy back;

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ۝٤

And exalted thy fame?

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا۝٥

But lo! with hardship goeth ease,

إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا۝٦

Lo! with hardship goeth ease;

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ۝٧

So when thou art relieved, still toil

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب۝٨

And strive to please thy Lord.

وَٱلتِّينِ وَٱلزَّيْتُونِ۝١

By the fig and the olive,

وَطُورِ سِينِينَ۝٢

By Mount Sinai,

وَهَـٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ٱلْأَمِينِ۝٣

And by this land made safe;

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ فِىٓ أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ۝٤

Surely We created man of the best stature

ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَـٰهُ أَسْفَلَ سَـٰفِلِينَ۝٥

Then we reduced him to the lowest of the low,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ۝٦

Save those who believe and do good works, and theirs is a reward unfailing.

فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعْدُ بِٱلدِّينِ۝٧

So who henceforth will give the lie to thee about the judgment?

أَلَيْسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ ٱلْحَـٰكِمِينَ۝٨

Is not Allah the most conclusive of all judges?

ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ۝١

Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth,

خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ۝٢

Createth man from a clot.

ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ۝٣

Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous,

ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ۝٤

Who teacheth by the pen,

عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ۝٥

Teacheth man that which he knew not.

كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ۝٦

Nay, but verily man is rebellious

أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰٓ۝٧

That he thinketh himself independent!

إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰٓ۝٨

Lo! unto thy Lord is the return.

أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنْهَىٰ۝٩

Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth

عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ۝١٠

A slave when he prayeth?

أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ۝١١

Hast thou seen if he relieth on the guidance (of Allah)

أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰٓ۝١٢

Or enjoineth piety?

أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ۝١٣

Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah's guidance) and is froward?

أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ۝١٤

Is he then unaware that Allah seeth?

كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ۝١٥

Nay, but if he cease not We will seize him by the forelock -

نَاصِيَةٍ كَـٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ۝١٦

The lying, sinful forelock -

فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ۝١٧

Then let him call upon his henchmen!

سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ۝١٨

We will call the guards of hell.

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب ۩۝١٩

Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah).

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ۝١

Lo! We revealed it on the Night of Predestination.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ۝٢

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Night of Power is!

لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ۝٣

The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.

تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ۝٤

The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees.

سَلَـٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ۝٥

(The night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn.

لَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ مُنفَكِّينَ حَتَّىٰ تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَةُ۝١

Those who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters could not have left off (erring) till the clear proof came unto them,

رَسُولٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ يَتْلُوا۟ صُحُفًا مُّطَهَّرَةً۝٢

A messenger from Allah, reading purified pages

فِيهَا كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌ۝٣

Containing correct scriptures.

وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَةُ۝٤

Nor were the People of the Scripture divided until after the clear proof came unto them.

وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓا۟ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ حُنَفَآءَ وَيُقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ دِينُ ٱلْقَيِّمَةِ۝٥

And they are ordered naught else than to serve Allah, keeping religion pure for Him, as men by nature upright, and to establish worship and to pay the poor-due. That is true religion.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ ٱلْبَرِيَّةِ۝٦

Lo! those who disbelieve, among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters, will abide in fire of hell. They are the worst of created beings.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ ٱلْبَرِيَّةِ۝٧

(And) lo! those who believe and do good works are the best of created beings.

جَزَآؤُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا ۖ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِىَ رَبَّهُۥ۝٨

Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden underneath which rivers flow, wherein they dwell for ever. Allah hath pleasure in them and they have pleasure in Him. This is (in store) for him who feareth his Lord.

إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا۝١

When Earth is shaken with her (final) earthquake

وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا۝٢

And Earth yieldeth up her burdens,

وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا لَهَا۝٣

And man saith: What aileth her?

يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا۝٤

That day she will relate her chronicles,

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا۝٥

Because thy Lord inspireth her.

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْا۟ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ۝٦

That day mankind will issue forth in scattered groups to be shown their deeds.

فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُۥ۝٧

And whoso doeth good an atom's weight will see it then,

وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُۥ۝٨

And whoso doeth ill an atom's weight will see it then.

وَٱلْعَـٰدِيَـٰتِ ضَبْحًا۝١

By the snorting courses,

فَٱلْمُورِيَـٰتِ قَدْحًا۝٢

Striking sparks of fire

فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا۝٣

And scouring to the raid at dawn,

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا۝٤

Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا۝٥

Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ۝٦

Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ۝٧

And lo! he is a witness unto that;

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ۝٨

And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ۝٩

Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ۝١٠

And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ۝١١

On that day will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them.

ٱلْقَارِعَةُ۝١

The Calamity!

مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ۝٢

What is the Calamity?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ۝٣

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ۝٤

A day wherein mankind will be as thickly-scattered moths

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ۝٥

And the mountains will become as carded wool.

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ۝٦

Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ۝٧

He will live a pleasant life.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ۝٨

But as for him whose scales are light,

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ۝٩

A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ۝١٠

Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ۝١١

Raging Fire.

أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ۝١

Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ۝٢

Until ye come to the graves.

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ۝٣

Nay, but ye will come to know!

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ۝٤

Nay, but ye will come to know!

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ۝٥

Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ۝٦

For ye will behold hell-fire.

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ۝٧

Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.

ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ۝٨

Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.

وَٱلْعَصْرِ۝١

By the declining day,

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ۝٢

Lo! man is a state of loss,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ۝٣

Save those who believe and do good works, and exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to endurance.

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ۝١

Woe unto every slandering traducer,

ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ۝٢

Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ۝٣

He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.

كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ۝٤

Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ۝٥

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!

نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ۝٦

(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,

ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ۝٧

Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).

إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ۝٨

Lo! it is closed in on them

فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ۝٩

In outstretched columns.

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ۝١

Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant?

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ۝٢

Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ۝٣

And send against them swarms of flying creatures,

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ۝٤

Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍۭ۝٥

And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle)?

لِإِيلَـٰفِ قُرَيْشٍ۝١

For the taming of Qureysh.

إِۦلَـٰفِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ ٱلشِّتَآءِ وَٱلصَّيْفِ۝٢

For their taming (We cause) the caravans to set forth in winter and summer.

فَلْيَعْبُدُوا۟ رَبَّ هَـٰذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ۝٣

So let them worship the Lord of this House,

ٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعٍ وَءَامَنَهُم مِّنْ خَوْفٍۭ۝٤

Who hath fed them against hunger and hath made them safe from fear.

أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ۝١

Hast thou observed him who belieth religion?

فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِى يَدُعُّ ٱلْيَتِيمَ۝٢

That is he who repelleth the orphan,

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ۝٣

And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ۝٤

Ah, woe unto worshippers

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ۝٥

Who are heedless of their prayer;

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ۝٦

Who would be seen (at worship)

وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ۝٧

Yet refuse small kindnesses!

إِنَّآ أَعْطَيْنَـٰكَ ٱلْكَوْثَرَ۝١

Lo! We have given thee Abundance;

فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَٱنْحَرْ۝٢

So pray unto thy Lord, and sacrifice.

إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ ٱلْأَبْتَرُ۝٣

Lo! it is thy insulter (and not thou) who is without posterity.

قُلْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ۝١

Say: O disbelievers!

لَآ أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ۝٢

I worship not that which ye worship;

وَلَآ أَنتُمْ عَـٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ۝٣

Nor worship ye that which I worship.

وَلَآ أَنَا۠ عَابِدٌ مَّا عَبَدتُّمْ۝٤

And I shall not worship that which ye worship.

وَلَآ أَنتُمْ عَـٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ۝٥

Nor will ye worship that which I worship.

لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِىَ دِينِ۝٦

Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion.

إِذَا جَآءَ نَصْرُ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْفَتْحُ۝١

When Allah's succour and the triumph cometh

وَرَأَيْتَ ٱلنَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِى دِينِ ٱللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا۝٢

And thou seest mankind entering the religion of Allah in troops,

فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَٱسْتَغْفِرْهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ تَوَّابًۢا۝٣

Then hymn the praises of thy Lord, and seek forgiveness of Him. Lo! He is ever ready to show mercy.

تَبَّتْ يَدَآ أَبِى لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ۝١

The power of Abu Lahab will perish, and he will perish.

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَمَا كَسَبَ۝٢

His wealth and gains will not exempt him.

سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ۝٣

He will be plunged in flaming Fire,

وَٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ حَمَّالَةَ ٱلْحَطَبِ۝٤

And his wife, the wood-carrier,

فِى جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِّن مَّسَدٍۭ۝٥

Will have upon her neck a halter of palm-fibre.

قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ۝١

Say: He is Allah, the One!

ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ۝٢

Allah, the eternally Besought of all!

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ۝٣

He begetteth not nor was begotten.

وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌۢ۝٤

And there is none comparable unto Him.

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ۝١

Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the Daybreak

مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ۝٢

From the evil of that which He created;

وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ۝٣

From the evil of the darkness when it is intense,

وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّـٰثَـٰتِ فِى ٱلْعُقَدِ۝٤

And from the evil of malignant witchcraft,

وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ۝٥

And from the evil of the envier when he envieth.

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ۝١

Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,

مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ۝٢

The King of mankind,

إِلَـٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ۝٣

The god of mankind,

مِن شَرِّ ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ ٱلْخَنَّاسِ۝٤

From the evil of the sneaking whisperer,

ٱلَّذِى يُوَسْوِسُ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ۝٥

Who whispereth in the hearts of mankind,

مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ۝٦

Of the jinn and of mankind.
