بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ١
Whereof do they question one another?
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ٢
(It is) of the awful tidings,
ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ٣
Concerning which they are in disagreement.
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ٤
Nay, but they will come to know!
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ٥
Nay, again, but they will come to know!
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَـٰدًا٦
Have We not made the earth an expanse,
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا٧
And the high hills bulwarks?
وَخَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا٨
And We have created you in pairs,
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا٩
And have appointed your sleep for repose,
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا١٠
And have appointed the night as a cloak,
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا١١
And have appointed the day for livelihood.
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا١٢
And We have built above you seven strong (heavens),
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا١٣
And have appointed a dazzling lamp,
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا١٤
And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water,
لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا١٥
Thereby to produce grain and plant,
وَجَنَّـٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا١٦
And gardens of thick foliage.
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَـٰتًا١٧
Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time,
يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا١٨
A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes,
وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا١٩
And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates,
وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا٢٠
And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage.
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا٢١
Lo! hell lurketh in ambush,
لِّلطَّـٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًا٢٢
A home for the rebellious.
لَّـٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًا٢٣
They will abide therein for ages.
لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا٢٤
Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink
إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا٢٥
Save boiling water and a paralysing cold:
جَزَآءً وِفَاقًا٢٦
Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds).
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا٢٧
For lo! they looked not for a reckoning;
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا٢٨
They called Our revelations false with strong denial.
وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَـٰهُ كِتَـٰبًا٢٩
Everything have We recorded in a Book.
فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا٣٠
So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment.
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا٣١
Lo! for the duteous is achievement -
حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَـٰبًا٣٢
Gardens enclosed and vineyards,
وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا٣٣
And voluptuous women of equal age;
وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا٣٤
And a full cup.
لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًا٣٥
There hear they never vain discourse, nor lying -
جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا٣٦
Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment -
رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا٣٧
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 صَوَابًا٣٨
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 مَـَٔابًا٣٩
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 تُرَٰبًۢا٤٠
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!"
