Juz 30

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُوۡنَۚ‏

About what are they asking one another

عَنِ النَّبَاِ الۡعَظِيۡمِۙ‏

About the great news

الَّذِيۡ هُمۡ فِيۡهِ مُخۡتَلِفُوۡنَؕ‏

That over which they are in disagreement

كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُوۡنَۙ‏

No! They are going to know

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُوۡنَ

Then, no! They are going to know

اَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ الۡاَرۡضَ مِهٰدًاۙ‏

Have We not made the earth a resting place

وَّالۡجِبَالَ اَوۡتَادًاۙ‏

And the mountains as stakes

وَّخَلَقۡنٰكُمۡ اَزۡوَاجًاۙ‏

And We created you in pairs

وَّجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتًاۙ‏

And made your sleep [a means for] rest

وَّجَعَلۡنَا الَّيۡلَ لِبَاسًاۙ‏

And made the night as clothing

وَّجَعَلۡنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًاۚ‏

And made the day for livelihood

وَبَنَيۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعًا شِدَادًاۙ‏

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

وَّجَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجًا وَّهَّاجًاۙ‏

And made [therein] a burning lamp

وَّاَنۡزَلۡنَا مِنَ الۡمُعۡصِرٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًاۙ‏

And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

لِّنُخۡرِجَ بِهٖ حَبًّا وَّنَبَاتًاۙ‏

That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

وَّجَنّٰتٍ اَلۡفَافًاؕ‏

And gardens of entwined growth

اِنَّ يَوۡمَ الۡفَصۡلِ كَانَ مِيۡقَاتًاۙ‏

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time

يَّوۡمَ يُنۡفَخُ فِي الصُّوۡرِ فَتَاۡتُوۡنَ اَفۡوَاجًاۙ‏

The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

وَّفُتِحَتِ السَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ اَبۡوَابًاۙ‏

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

وَّسُيِّرَتِ الۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًاؕ‏

And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage

اِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادًاۙ‏

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

لِّلطّٰغِيۡنَ مَاٰبًاۙ‏

For the transgressors, a place of return

لّٰبِثِيۡنَ فِيۡهَا٘ اَحۡقَابًاۚ‏

In which they will remain for ages [unending]

لَا يَذُوۡقُوۡنَ فِيۡهَا بَرۡدًا وَّلَا شَرَابًاۙ‏

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

اِلَّا حَمِيۡمًا وَّغَسَّاقًاۙ‏

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence

جَزَآءً وِّفَاقًاؕ‏

An appropriate recompense

اِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۡا لَا يَرۡجُوۡنَ حِسَابًاۙ‏

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

وَّكَذَّبُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَا كِذَّابًاؕ‏

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial

وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٍ اَحۡصَيۡنٰهُ كِتٰبًاۙ‏

But all things We have enumerated in writing

فَذُوۡقُوۡا فَلَنۡ نَّزِيۡدَكُمۡ اِلَّا عَذَابًاࣖ‏

So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment

اِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ مَفَازًاۙ‏

Indeed, for the righteous is attainment

حَدَآئِقَ وَاَعۡنَابًاۙ‏

Gardens and grapevines

وَّكَوَاعِبَ اَتۡرَابًاۙ‏

And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

وَّكَاۡسًا دِهَاقًاؕ‏

And a full cup

لَا يَسۡمَعُوۡنَ فِيۡهَا لَغۡوًا وَّلَا كِذّٰبًاۚۖ‏

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood

جَزَآءً مِّنۡ رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًاۙ‏

[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account

رَّبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا الرَّحۡمٰنِ لَا يَمۡلِكُوۡنَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابًاۚ‏

[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

يَوۡمَ يَقُوۡمُ الرُّوۡحُ وَالۡمَلٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّاؕࣗۙ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُوۡنَ اِلَّا مَنۡ اَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحۡمٰنُ 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

ذٰلِكَ الۡيَوۡمُ الۡحَقُّۚ فَمَنۡ شَآءَ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰي رَبِّهٖ مَاٰبًا

That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return

اِنَّا٘ اَنۡذَرۡنٰكُمۡ عَذَابًا قَرِيۡبًا ࣢ۚۖ يَّوۡمَ يَنۡظُرُ الۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدٰهُ وَيَقُوۡلُ الۡكَافِرُ يٰلَيۡتَنِيۡ كُنۡتُ تُرٰبًاࣖ‏

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

وَالنّٰزِعٰتِ غَرۡقًاۙ‏

By those [angels] who extract with violence

وَّالنّٰشِطٰتِ نَشۡطًاۙ‏

And [by] those who remove with ease

وَّالسّٰبِحٰتِ سَبۡحًاۙ‏

And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming

فَالسّٰبِقٰتِ سَبۡقًاۙ‏

And those who race each other in a race

فَالۡمُدَبِّرٰتِ اَمۡرًاۘ‏

And those who arrange [each] matter

يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُۙ‏

On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation]

تَتۡبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُؕ‏

There will follow it the subsequent [one]

قُلُوۡبٌ يَّوۡمَئِذٍ وَّاجِفَةٌۙ‏

Hearts, that Day, will tremble

اَبۡصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌۘ‏

Their eyes humbled

يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ ءَاِنَّا لَمَرۡدُوۡدُوۡنَ فِي الۡحَافِرَةِؕ‏

They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]

ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةًؕ‏

Even if we should be decayed bones

قَالُوۡا تِلۡكَ اِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۘ‏

They say, "That, then, would be a losing return

فَاِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌۙ‏

Indeed, it will be but one shout

فَاِذَا هُمۡ بِالسَّاهِرَةِؕ‏

And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface

هَلۡ اَتٰىكَ حَدِيۡثُ مُوۡسٰيۘ‏

Has there reached you the story of Moses

اِذۡ نَادٰىهُ رَبُّهٗ بِالۡوَادِ الۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوًيۚ‏

When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa

اِذۡهَبۡ اِلٰي فِرۡعَوۡنَ اِنَّهٗ طَغٰيؗۖ‏

Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed

فَقُلۡ هَلۡ لَّكَ اِلٰ٘ي اَنۡ تَزَكّٰيۙ‏

And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

وَاَهۡدِيَكَ اِلٰي رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشٰيۚ‏

And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]

فَاَرٰىهُ الۡاٰيَةَ الۡكُبۡرٰيؗۖ‏

And he showed him the greatest sign

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصٰيؗۖ‏

But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed

ثُمَّ اَدۡبَرَ يَسۡعٰيؗۖ‏

Then he turned his back, striving

فَحَشَرَࣞ فَنَادٰيؗۖ‏

And he gathered [his people] and called out

فَقَالَ اَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الۡاَعۡلٰيؗۖ‏

And said, "I am your most exalted lord

فَاَخَذَهُ اللّٰهُ نَكَالَ الۡاٰخِرَةِ وَالۡاُوۡلٰيؕ‏

So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression]

اِنَّ فِيۡ ذٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةً لِّمَنۡ يَّخۡشٰيؕࣖ‏

Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah]

ءَاَنۡتُمۡ اَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا اَمِ السَّمَآءُؕ بَنٰىهَاࣞ‏

Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it

رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوّٰىهَاۙ‏

He raised its ceiling and proportioned it

وَاَغۡطَشَ لَيۡلَهَا وَاَخۡرَجَ ضُحٰىهَاࣕ‏

And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness

وَالۡاَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذٰلِكَ دَحٰىهَاؕ‏

And after that He spread the earth

اَخۡرَجَ مِنۡهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرۡعٰىهَاࣕ‏

He extracted from it its water and its pasture

وَالۡجِبَالَ اَرۡسٰىهَاۙ‏

And the mountains He set firmly

مَتَاعًا لَّكُمۡ وَ لِاَنۡعَامِكُمۡؕ‏

As provision for you and your grazing livestock

فَاِذَا جَآءَتِ الطَّآمَّةُ الۡكُبۡرٰيؗۖ‏

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity

يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مَا سَعٰيۙ‏

The Day when man will remember that for which he strove

وَبُرِّزَتِ الۡجَحِيۡمُ لِمَنۡ يَّرٰي

And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see

فَاَمَّا مَنۡ طَغٰيۙ‏

So as for he who transgressed

وَاٰثَرَ الۡحَيٰوةَ الدُّنۡيَاۙ‏

And preferred the life of the world

فَاِنَّ الۡجَحِيۡمَ هِيَ الۡمَاۡوٰيؕ‏

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge

وَاَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهٖ وَنَهَي النَّفۡسَ عَنِ الۡهَوٰيۙ‏

But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination

فَاِنَّ الۡجَنَّةَ هِيَ الۡمَاۡوٰيؕ‏

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge

يَسۡـَٔلُوۡنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَيَّانَ مُرۡسٰىهَاؕ‏

They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival

فِيۡمَ اَنۡتَ مِنۡ ذِكۡرٰىهَاؕ‏

In what [position] are you that you should mention it

اِلٰي رَبِّكَ مُنۡتَهٰىهَاؕ‏

To your Lord is its finality

اِنَّمَا٘ اَنۡتَ مُنۡذِرُ مَنۡ يَّخۡشٰىهَاؕ‏

You are only a warner for those who fear it

كَاَنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَهَا لَمۡ يَلۡبَثُوۡ٘ا اِلَّا عَشِيَّةً اَوۡ ضُحٰىهَاࣖ‏

It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلّٰ٘يۙ‏

The Prophet frowned and turned away

اَنۡ جَآءَهُ الۡاَعۡمٰيؕ‏

Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting]

وَمَا يُدۡرِيۡكَ لَعَلَّهٗ يَزَّكّٰ٘يۙ‏

But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

اَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنۡفَعَهُ الذِّكۡرٰيؕ‏

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him

اَمَّا مَنِ اسۡتَغۡنٰيۙ‏

As for he who thinks himself without need

فَاَنۡتَ لَهٗ تَصَدّٰيؕ‏

To him you give attention

وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ اَلَّا يَزَّكّٰيؕ‏

And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified

وَاَمَّا مَنۡ جَآءَكَ يَسۡعٰيۙ‏

But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

وَهُوَ يَخۡشٰيۙ‏

While he fears [Allah]

فَاَنۡتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهّٰيۚ‏

From him you are distracted

كَلَّا٘ اِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٌۚ‏

No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder

فَمَنۡ شَآءَ ذَكَرَهٗۘ‏

So whoever wills may remember it

فِيۡ صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۙ‏

[It is recorded] in honored sheets

مَّرۡفُوۡعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۙ‏

Exalted and purified

ۭ بِاَيۡدِيۡ سَفَرَةٍۙ‏

[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels

كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍؕ‏

Noble and dutiful

قُتِلَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مَا٘ اَكۡفَرَهٗؕ‏

Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he

مِنۡ اَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهٗؕ‏

From what substance did He create him

مِنۡ نُّطۡفَةٍؕ خَلَقَهٗ فَقَدَّرَهٗۙ‏

From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him

ثُمَّ السَّبِيۡلَ يَسَّرَهٗۙ‏

Then He eased the way for him

ثُمَّ اَمَاتَهٗ فَاَقۡبَرَهٗۙ‏

Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him

ثُمَّ اِذَا شَآءَ اَنۡشَرَهٗؕ‏

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقۡضِ مَا٘ اَمَرَهٗؕ‏

No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him

فَلۡيَنۡظُرِ الۡاِنۡسَانُ اِلٰي طَعَامِهٖ٘ۙ‏

Then let mankind look at his food

اَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا الۡمَآءَ صَبًّاۙ‏

How We poured down water in torrents

ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا الۡاَرۡضَ شَقًّاۙ‏

Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts]

فَاَنۭۡ بَتۡنَا فِيۡهَا حَبًّاۙ‏

And caused to grow within it grain

وَّعِنَبًا وَّقَضۡبًاۙ‏

And grapes and herbage

وَّزَيۡتُوۡنًا وَّنَخۡلًاۙ‏

And olive and palm trees

وَّحَدَآئِقَ غُلۡبًاۙ‏

And gardens of dense shrubbery

وَّفَاكِهَةً وَّاَبًّاۙ‏

And fruit and grass

مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمۡ وَلِاَنۡعَامِكُمۡؕ‏

[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock

فَاِذَا جَآءَتِ الصَّآخَّةُؗ‏

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

يَوۡمَ يَفِرُّ الۡمَرۡءُ مِنۡ اَخِيۡهِۙ‏

On the Day a man will flee from his brother

وَاُمِّهٖ وَاَبِيۡهِۙ‏

And his mother and his father

وَصَاحِبَتِهٖ وَبَنِيۡهِؕ‏

And his wife and his children

لِكُلِّ امۡرِئٍ مِّنۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٍ شَاۡنٌ يُّغۡنِيۡهِؕ‏

For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him

وُجُوۡهٌ يَّوۡمَئِذٍ مُّسۡفِرَةٌۙ‏

[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٌۚ‏

Laughing, rejoicing at good news

وَوُجُوۡهٌ يَّوۡمَئِذٍ عَلَيۡهَا غَبَرَةٌۙ‏

And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust

تَرۡهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌؕ‏

Blackness will cover them

اُولٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الۡكَفَرَةُ الۡفَجَرَةُࣖ‏

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones

اِذَا الشَّمۡسُ كُوِّرَتۡࣕۙ‏

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

وَاِذَا النُّجُوۡمُ انۡكَدَرَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the stars fall, dispersing

وَاِذَا الۡجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the mountains are removed

وَاِذَا الۡعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

وَاِذَا الۡوُحُوۡشُ حُشِرَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the wild beasts are gathered

وَاِذَا الۡبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the seas are filled with flame

وَاِذَا النُّفُوۡسُ زُوِّجَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the souls are paired

وَاِذَا الۡمَوۡءٗدَةُ سُئِلَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked

بِاَيِّ ذَنۭۡ بٍ قُتِلَتۡۚ‏

For what sin she was killed

وَاِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the pages are made public

وَاِذَا السَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the sky is stripped away

وَاِذَا الۡجَحِيۡمُ سُعِّرَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when Hellfire is set ablaze

وَاِذَا الۡجَنَّةُ اُزۡلِفَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when Paradise is brought near

عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٌ مَّا٘ اَحۡضَرَتۡؕ‏

A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]

فَلَا٘ اُقۡسِمُ بِالۡخُنَّسِۙ‏

So I swear by the retreating stars

الۡجَوَارِ الۡكُنَّسِۙ‏

Those that run [their courses] and disappear

وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا عَسۡعَسَۙ‏

And by the night as it closes in

وَالصُّبۡحِ اِذَا تَنَفَّسَۙ‏

And by the dawn when it breathes

اِنَّهٗ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُوۡلٍ كَرِيۡمٍۙ‏

[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger

ذِيۡ قُوَّةٍ عِنۡدَ ذِي الۡعَرۡشِ مَكِيۡنٍۙ‏

[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position]

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ اَمِيۡنٍؕ‏

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمۡ بِمَجۡنُوۡنٍۚ‏

And your companion is not [at all] mad

وَلَقَدۡ رَاٰهُ بِالۡاُفُقِ الۡمُبِيۡنِۚ‏

And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَي الۡغَيۡبِ بِضَنِيۡنٍۚ‏

And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَيۡطٰنٍ رَّجِيۡمٍۙ‏

And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]

فَاَيۡنَ تَذۡهَبُوۡنَؕ‏

So where are you going

اِنۡ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكۡرٌ لِّلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَۙ‏

It is not except a reminder to the worlds

لِمَنۡ شَآءَ مِنۡكُمۡ اَنۡ يَّسۡتَقِيۡمَؕ‏

For whoever wills among you to take a right course

وَمَا تَشَآءُوۡنَ اِلَّا٘ اَنۡ يَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَࣖ‏

And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds

اِذَا السَّمَآءُ انۡفَطَرَتۡۙ‏

When the sky breaks apart

وَاِذَا الۡكَوَاكِبُ انۡتَثَرَتۡۙ‏

And when the stars fall, scattering

وَاِذَا الۡبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتۡۙ‏

And when the seas are erupted

وَاِذَا الۡقُبُوۡرُ بُعۡثِرَتۡۙ‏

And when the [contents of] graves are scattered

عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتۡ وَاَخَّرَتۡؕ‏

A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back

يٰ٘اَيُّهَا الۡاِنۡسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الۡكَرِيۡمِۙ‏

O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous

الَّذِيۡ خَلَقَكَ فَسَوّٰىكَ فَعَدَلَكَۙ‏

Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you

فِيۡ٘ اَيِّ صُوۡرَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَؕ‏

In whatever form He willed has He assembled you

كَلَّا بَلۡ تُكَذِّبُوۡنَ بِالدِّيۡنِۙ‏

No! But you deny the Recompense

وَاِنَّ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَحٰفِظِيۡنَۙ‏

And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers

كِرَامًا كٰتِبِيۡنَۙ‏

Noble and recording

يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ مَا تَفۡعَلُوۡنَ

They know whatever you do

اِنَّ الۡاَبۡرَارَ لَفِيۡ نَعِيۡمٍۙ‏

Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure

وَّاِنَّ الۡفُجَّارَ لَفِيۡ جَحِيۡمٍۙ‏

And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire

يَّصۡلَوۡنَهَا يَوۡمَ الدِّيۡنِ

They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense

وَمَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا بِغَآئِبِيۡنَؕ‏

And never therefrom will they be absent

وَمَا٘ اَدۡرٰىكَ مَا يَوۡمُ الدِّيۡنِۙ‏

And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense

ثُمَّ مَا٘ اَدۡرٰىكَ مَا يَوۡمُ الدِّيۡنِؕ‏

Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense

يَوۡمَ لَا تَمۡلِكُ نَفۡسٌ لِّنَفۡسٍ شَيۡـًٔاؕ وَالۡاَمۡرُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ لِّلّٰهِࣖ‏

It is the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing; and the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allah

وَيۡلٌ لِّلۡمُطَفِّفِيۡنَۙ‏

Woe to those who give less [than due]

الَّذِيۡنَ اِذَا اكۡتَالُوۡا عَلَي النَّاسِ يَسۡتَوۡفُوۡنَؗۖ‏

Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full

وَاِذَا كَالُوۡهُمۡ اَوۡ وَّزَنُوۡهُمۡ يُخۡسِرُوۡنَؕ‏

But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss

اَلَا يَظُنُّ اُولٰٓئِكَ اَنَّهُمۡ مَّبۡعُوۡثُوۡنَۙ‏

Do they not think that they will be resurrected

لِيَوۡمٍ عَظِيۡمٍۙ‏

For a tremendous Day

يَّوۡمَ يَقُوۡمُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَؕ‏

The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds

كَلَّا٘ اِنَّ كِتٰبَ الۡفُجَّارِ لَفِيۡ سِجِّيۡنٍؕ‏

No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen

وَمَا٘ اَدۡرٰىكَ مَا سِجِّيۡنٌؕ‏

And what can make you know what is sijjeen

كِتٰبٌ مَّرۡقُوۡمٌؕ‏

It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed

وَيۡلٌ يَّوۡمَئِذٍ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِيۡنَۙ‏

Woe, that Day, to the deniers

الَّذِيۡنَ يُكَذِّبُوۡنَ بِيَوۡمِ الدِّيۡنِؕ‏

Who deny the Day of Recompense

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهٖ٘ اِلَّا كُلُّ مُعۡتَدٍ اَثِيۡمٍۙ‏

And none deny it except every sinful transgressor

اِذَا تُتۡلٰي عَلَيۡهِ اٰيٰتُنَا قَالَ اَسَاطِيۡرُ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَؕ‏

When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples

كَلَّا بَلۡࣝ رَانَ عَلٰي قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ مَّا كَانُوۡا يَكۡسِبُوۡنَ

No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning

كَلَّا٘ اِنَّهُمۡ عَنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٍ لَّمَحۡجُوۡبُوۡنَؕ‏

No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned

ثُمَّ اِنَّهُمۡ لَصَالُوا الۡجَحِيۡمِؕ‏

Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هٰذَا الَّذِيۡ كُنۡتُمۡ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوۡنَؕ‏

Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny

كَلَّا٘ اِنَّ كِتٰبَ الۡاَبۡرَارِ لَفِيۡ عِلِّيِّيۡنَؕ‏

No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in 'illiyyun

وَمَا٘ اَدۡرٰىكَ مَا عِلِّيُّوۡنَؕ‏

And what can make you know what is 'illiyyun

كِتٰبٌ مَّرۡقُوۡمٌۙ‏

It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed

يَّشۡهَدُهُ الۡمُقَرَّبُوۡنَؕ‏

Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allah]

اِنَّ الۡاَبۡرَارَ لَفِيۡ نَعِيۡمٍۙ‏

Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure

عَلَي الۡاَرَآئِكِ يَنۡظُرُوۡنَۙ‏

On adorned couches, observing

تَعۡرِفُ فِيۡ وُجُوۡهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ النَّعِيۡمِۚ‏

You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure

يُسۡقَوۡنَ مِنۡ رَّحِيۡقٍ مَّخۡتُوۡمٍۙ‏

They will be given to drink [pure] wine [which was] sealed

خِتٰمُهٗ مِسۡكٌؕ وَفِيۡ ذٰلِكَ فَلۡيَتَنَافَسِ الۡمُتَنٰفِسُوۡنَؕ‏

The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete

وَمِزَاجُهٗ مِنۡ تَسۡنِيۡمٍۙ‏

And its mixture is of Tasneem

عَيۡنًا يَّشۡرَبُ بِهَا الۡمُقَرَّبُوۡنَؕ‏

A spring from which those near [to Allah] drink

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اَجۡرَمُوۡا كَانُوۡا مِنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا يَضۡحَكُوۡنَؗۖ‏

Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed

وَاِذَا مَرُّوۡا بِهِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُوۡنَؗۖ‏

And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances

وَاِذَا انۡقَلَبُوۡ٘ا اِلٰ٘ي اَهۡلِهِمُ انۡقَلَبُوۡا فَكِهِيۡنَؗۖ‏

And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting

وَاِذَا رَاَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوۡ٘ا اِنَّ هٰ٘ؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّوۡنَۙ‏

And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost

وَمَا٘ اُرۡسِلُوۡا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حٰفِظِيۡنَؕ‏

But they had not been sent as guardians over them

فَالۡيَوۡمَ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا مِنَ الۡكُفَّارِ يَضۡحَكُوۡنَۙ‏

So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers

عَلَي الۡاَرَآئِكِۙ يَنۡظُرُوۡنَؕ‏

On adorned couches, observing

هَلۡ ثُوِّبَ الۡكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوۡا يَفۡعَلُوۡنَࣖ‏

Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do

اِذَا السَّمَآءُ انۡشَقَّتۡۙ‏

When the sky has split [open]

وَاَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡۙ‏

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

وَاِذَا الۡاَرۡضُ مُدَّتۡؕ‏

And when the earth has been extended

وَاَلۡقَتۡ مَا فِيۡهَا وَتَخَلَّتۡۙ‏

And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]

وَاَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡؕ‏

And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]

يٰ٘اَيُّهَا الۡاِنۡسَانُ اِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ اِلٰي رَبِّكَ كَدۡحًا فَمُلٰقِيۡهِۚ‏

O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it

فَاَمَّا مَنۡ اُوۡتِيَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيۡنِهٖۙ‏

Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand

فَسَوۡفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَّسِيۡرًاۙ‏

He will be judged with an easy account

وَّيَنۡقَلِبُ اِلٰ٘ي اَهۡلِهٖ مَسۡرُوۡرًاؕ‏

And return to his people in happiness

وَاَمَّا مَنۡ اُوۡتِيَ كِتٰبَهٗ وَرَآءَ ظَهۡرِهٖۙ‏

But as for he who is given his record behind his back

فَسَوۡفَ يَدۡعُوۡا ثُبُوۡرًاۙ‏

He will cry out for destruction

وَّيَصۡلٰي سَعِيۡرًاؕ‏

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze

اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فِيۡ٘ اَهۡلِهٖ مَسۡرُوۡرًاؕ‏

Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness

اِنَّهٗ ظَنَّ اَنۡ لَّنۡ يَّحُوۡرَۚۛ‏

Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah]

بَلٰ٘يۚۛ اِنَّ رَبَّهٗ كَانَ بِهٖ بَصِيۡرًاؕ‏

But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing

فَلَا٘ اُقۡسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِۙ‏

So I swear by the twilight glow

وَالَّيۡلِ وَمَا وَسَقَۙ‏

And [by] the night and what it envelops

وَالۡقَمَرِ اِذَا اتَّسَقَۙ‏

And [by] the moon when it becomes full

لَتَرۡكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنۡ طَبَقٍؕ‏

[That] you will surely experience state after state

فَمَا لَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَۙ‏

So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe

وَاِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيۡهِمُ الۡقُرۡاٰنُ لَا يَسۡجُدُوۡنَࣛؕ‏

And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]

بَلِ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا يُكَذِّبُوۡنَؗۖ‏

But those who have disbelieved deny

وَاللّٰهُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يُوۡعُوۡنَؗۖ‏

And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves

فَبَشِّرۡهُمۡ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيۡمٍۙ‏

So give them tidings of a painful punishment

اِلَّا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمۡ اَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُوۡنٍࣖ‏

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted

وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الۡبُرُوۡجِۙ‏

By the sky containing great stars

وَالۡيَوۡمِ الۡمَوۡعُوۡدِۙ‏

And [by] the promised Day

وَشَاهِدٍ وَّمَشۡهُوۡدٍؕ‏

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed

قُتِلَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡاُخۡدُوۡدِۙ‏

Cursed were the companions of the trench

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الۡوَقُوۡدِۙ‏

[Containing] the fire full of fuel

اِذۡ هُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا قُعُوۡدٌۙ‏

When they were sitting near it

وَّهُمۡ عَلٰي مَا يَفۡعَلُوۡنَ بِالۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ شُهُوۡدٌؕ‏

And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses

وَمَا نَقَمُوۡا مِنۡهُمۡ اِلَّا٘ اَنۡ يُّؤۡمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ الۡعَزِيۡزِ الۡحَمِيۡدِۙ‏

And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy

الَّذِيۡ لَهٗ مُلۡكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ شَهِيۡدٌؕ‏

To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ فَتَنُوا الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ وَالۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمۡ يَتُوۡبُوۡا فَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ الۡحَرِيۡقِؕ‏

Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمۡ جَنّٰتٌ تَجۡرِيۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُؕ ذٰلِكَ الۡفَوۡزُ الۡكَبِيۡرُؕ‏

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment

اِنَّ بَطۡشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيۡدٌؕ‏

Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe

اِنَّهٗ هُوَ يُبۡدِئُ وَيُعِيۡدُۚ‏

Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats

وَهُوَ الۡغَفُوۡرُ الۡوَدُوۡدُۙ‏

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate

ذُو الۡعَرۡشِ الۡمَجِيۡدُۙ‏

Honorable Owner of the Throne

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيۡدُؕ‏

Effecter of what He intends

هَلۡ اَتٰىكَ حَدِيۡثُ الۡجُنُوۡدِۙ‏

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers

فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَثَمُوۡدَؕ‏

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud

بَلِ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا فِيۡ تَكۡذِيۡبٍۙ‏

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial

وَّاللّٰهُ مِنۡ وَّرَآئِهِمۡ مُّحِيۡطٌۚ‏

While Allah encompasses them from behind

بَلۡ هُوَ قُرۡاٰنٌ مَّجِيۡدٌۙ‏

But this is an honored Qur'an

فِيۡ لَوۡحٍ مَّحۡفُوۡظٍࣖ‏

[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate

وَالسَّمَآءِ وَالطَّارِقِۙ‏

By the sky and the night comer

وَمَا٘ اَدۡرٰىكَ مَا الطَّارِقُۙ‏

And what can make you know what is the night comer

النَّجۡمُ الثَّاقِبُۙ‏

It is the piercing star

اِنۡ كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيۡهَا حَافِظٌؕ‏

There is no soul but that it has over it a protector

فَلۡيَنۡظُرِ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَؕ‏

So let man observe from what he was created

خُلِقَ مِنۡ مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍۙ‏

He was created from a fluid, ejected

يَّخۡرُجُ مِنۭۡ بَيۡنِ الصُّلۡبِ وَالتَّرَآئِبِؕ‏

Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs

اِنَّهٗ عَلٰي رَجۡعِهٖ لَقَادِرٌؕ‏

Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able

يَوۡمَ تُبۡلَي السَّرَآئِرُۙ‏

The Day when secrets will be put on trial

فَمَا لَهٗ مِنۡ قُوَّةٍ وَّلَا نَاصِرٍؕ‏

Then man will have no power or any helper

وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجۡعِۙ‏

By the sky which returns [rain]

وَالۡاَرۡضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدۡعِۙ‏

And [by] the earth which cracks open

اِنَّهٗ لَقَوۡلٌ فَصۡلٌۙ‏

Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement

وَّمَا هُوَ بِالۡهَزۡلِؕ‏

And it is not amusement

اِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيۡدُوۡنَ كَيۡدًاۙ‏

Indeed, they are planning a plan

وَّاَكِيۡدُ كَيۡدًاۚۖ‏

But I am planning a plan

فَمَهِّلِ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ اَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدًاࣖ‏

So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile

سَبِّحِ اسۡمَ رَبِّكَ الۡاَعۡلَيۙ‏

Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High

الَّذِيۡ خَلَقَ فَسَوّٰيࣕۙ‏

Who created and proportioned

وَالَّذِيۡ قَدَّرَ فَهَدٰيࣕۙ‏

And who destined and [then] guided

وَالَّذِيۡ٘ اَخۡرَجَ الۡمَرۡعٰيࣕۙ‏

And who brings out the pasture

فَجَعَلَهٗ غُثَآءً اَحۡوٰيؕ‏

And [then] makes it black stubble

سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنۡسٰ٘يۙ‏

We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget

اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ اللّٰهُؕ اِنَّهٗ يَعۡلَمُ الۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفٰيؕ‏

Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلۡيُسۡرٰيۚۖ‏

And We will ease you toward ease

فَذَكِّرۡ اِنۡ نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكۡرٰيؕ‏

So remind, if the reminder should benefit

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنۡ يَّخۡشٰيۙ‏

He who fears [Allah] will be reminded

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الۡاَشۡقَيۙ‏

But the wretched one will avoid it

الَّذِيۡ يَصۡلَي النَّارَ الۡكُبۡرٰيۚ‏

[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوۡتُ فِيۡهَا وَلَا يَحۡيٰيؕ‏

Neither dying therein nor living

قَدۡ اَفۡلَحَ مَنۡ تَزَكّٰيۙ‏

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

وَذَكَرَ اسۡمَ رَبِّهٖ فَصَلّٰيؕ‏

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays

بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُوۡنَ الۡحَيٰوةَ الدُّنۡيَاۙ‏

But you prefer the worldly life

وَالۡاٰخِرَةُ خَيۡرٌ وَّاَبۡقٰيؕ‏

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الۡاُوۡلٰيۙ‏

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures

صُحُفِ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَمُوۡسٰيࣖ‏

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses

هَلۡ اَتٰىكَ حَدِيۡثُ الۡغَاشِيَةِؕ‏

Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]

وُجُوۡهٌ يَّوۡمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌۙ‏

[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled

عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌۙ‏

Working [hard] and exhausted

تَصۡلٰي نَارًا حَامِيَةًۙ‏

They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire

تُسۡقٰي مِنۡ عَيۡنٍ اٰنِيَةٍؕ‏

They will be given drink from a boiling spring

لَيۡسَ لَهُمۡ طَعَامٌ اِلَّا مِنۡ ضَرِيۡعٍۙ‏

For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant

لَّا يُسۡمِنُ وَلَا يُغۡنِيۡ مِنۡ جُوۡعٍؕ‏

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger

وُجُوۡهٌ يَّوۡمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌۙ‏

[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure

لِّسَعۡيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌۙ‏

With their effort [they are] satisfied

فِيۡ جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۙ‏

In an elevated garden

لَّا تَسۡمَعُ فِيۡهَا لَاغِيَةًؕ‏

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech

فِيۡهَا عَيۡنٌ جَارِيَةٌۘ‏

Within it is a flowing spring

فِيۡهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرۡفُوۡعَةٌۙ‏

Within it are couches raised high

وَّاَكۡوَابٌ مَّوۡضُوۡعَةٌۙ‏

And cups put in place

وَّنَمَارِقُ مَصۡفُوۡفَةٌۙ‏

And cushions lined up

وَّزَرَابِيُّ مَبۡثُوۡثَةٌؕ‏

And carpets spread around

اَفَلَا يَنۡظُرُوۡنَ اِلَي الۡاِبِلِ كَيۡفَ خُلِقَتۡࣟ‏

Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created

وَاِلَي السَّمَآءِ كَيۡفَ رُفِعَتۡࣟ‏

And at the sky - how it is raised

وَاِلَي الۡجِبَالِ كَيۡفَ نُصِبَتۡࣟ‏

And at the mountains - how they are erected

وَاِلَي الۡاَرۡضِ كَيۡفَ سُطِحَتۡ‏

And at the earth - how it is spread out

فَذَكِّرۡࣞ اِنَّمَا٘ اَنۡتَ مُذَكِّرٌؕ‏

So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder

لَسۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِمُصَۜيۡطِرٍۙ‏

You are not over them a controller

اِلَّا مَنۡ تَوَلّٰي وَكَفَرَۙ‏

However, he who turns away and disbelieves

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللّٰهُ الۡعَذَابَ الۡاَكۡبَرَؕ‏

Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment

اِنَّ اِلَيۡنَا٘ اِيَابَهُمۡۙ‏

Indeed, to Us is their return

ثُمَّ اِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا حِسَابَهُمۡࣖ‏

Then indeed, upon Us is their account

وَالۡفَجۡرِۙ‏

By the dawn

وَلَيَالٍ عَشۡرٍۙ‏

And [by] ten nights

وَّالشَّفۡعِ وَالۡوَتۡرِۙ‏

And [by] the even [number] and the odd

وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا يَسۡرِۚ‏

And [by] the night when it passes

هَلۡ فِيۡ ذٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِيۡ حِجۡرٍؕ‏

Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception

اَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍۙࣕ‏

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad

اِرَمَ ذَاتِ الۡعِمَادِۙࣕ‏

[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars

الَّتِيۡ لَمۡ يُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِي الۡبِلَادِۙࣕ‏

The likes of whom had never been created in the land

وَثَمُوۡدَ الَّذِيۡنَ جَابُوا الصَّخۡرَ بِالۡوَادِۙࣕ‏

And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley

وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِي الۡاَوۡتَادِۙࣕ‏

And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes

الَّذِيۡنَ طَغَوۡا فِي الۡبِلَادِۙࣕ‏

[All of] whom oppressed within the lands

فَاَكۡثَرُوۡا فِيۡهَا الۡفَسَادَۙࣕ‏

And increased therein the corruption

فَصَبَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّكَ سَوۡطَ عَذَابٍۙۚ‏

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالۡمِرۡصَادِؕ‏

Indeed, your Lord is in observation

فَاَمَّا الۡاِنۡسَانُ اِذَا مَا ابۡتَلٰىهُ رَبُّهٗ فَاَكۡرَمَهٗ وَنَعَّمَهٗ ࣢ۙ فَيَقُوۡلُ رَبِّيۡ٘ اَكۡرَمَنِؕ‏

And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me

وَاَمَّا٘ اِذَا مَا ابۡتَلٰىهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهٗ ࣢ۙ فَيَقُوۡلُ رَبِّيۡ٘ اَهَانَنِۚ‏

But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me

كَلَّا بَلۡ لَّا تُكۡرِمُوۡنَ الۡيَتِيۡمَۙ‏

No! But you do not honor the orphan

وَلَا تَحٰٓضُّوۡنَ عَلٰي طَعَامِ الۡمِسۡكِيۡنِۙ‏

And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor

وَتَاۡكُلُوۡنَ التُّرَاثَ اَكۡلًا لَّمًّاۙ‏

And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether

وَّتُحِبُّوۡنَ الۡمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّاؕ‏

And you love wealth with immense love

كَلَّا٘ اِذَا دُكَّتِ الۡاَرۡضُ دَكًّا دَكًّاۙ‏

No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed

وَّجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَالۡمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّاۚ‏

And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank

وَجِايۡٓءَ يَوۡمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ࣢ۙ يَوۡمَئِذٍ يَّتَذَكَّرُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ وَاَنّٰي لَهُ الذِّكۡرٰيؕ‏

And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance

يَقُوۡلُ يٰلَيۡتَنِيۡ قَدَّمۡتُ لِحَيَاتِيۡۚ‏

He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life

فَيَوۡمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهٗ٘ اَحَدٌۙ‏

So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment

وَّلَا يُوۡثِقُ وَثَاقَهٗ٘ اَحَدٌؕ‏

And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers]

يٰ٘اَيَّتُهَا النَّفۡسُ الۡمُطۡمَئِنَّةُۙࣗ‏

[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul

ارۡجِعِيۡ٘ اِلٰي رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرۡضِيَّةًۚ‏

Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him]

فَادۡخُلِيۡ فِيۡ عِبٰدِيۡۙ‏

And enter among My [righteous] servants

وَادۡخُلِيۡ جَنَّتِيۡࣖ‏

And enter My Paradise

لَا٘ اُقۡسِمُ بِهٰذَا الۡبَلَدِۙ‏

I swear by this city, Makkah

وَاَنۡتَ حِلٌّۭ بِهٰذَا الۡبَلَدِۙ‏

And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city

وَوَالِدٍ وَّمَا وَلَدَۙ‏

And [by] the father and that which was born [of him]

لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ فِيۡ كَبَدٍؕ‏

We have certainly created man into hardship

اَيَحۡسَبُ اَنۡ لَّنۡ يَّقۡدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ اَحَدٌۘ‏

Does he think that never will anyone overcome him

يَقُوۡلُ اَهۡلَكۡتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًاؕ‏

He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance

اَيَحۡسَبُ اَنۡ لَّمۡ يَرَهٗ٘ اَحَدٌؕ‏

Does he think that no one has seen him

اَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلۡ لَّهٗ عَيۡنَيۡنِۙ‏

Have We not made for him two eyes

وَلِسَانًا وَّشَفَتَيۡنِۙ‏

And a tongue and two lips

وَهَدَيۡنٰهُ النَّجۡدَيۡنِۚ‏

And have shown him the two ways

فَلَا اقۡتَحَمَ الۡعَقَبَةَؗۖ‏

But he has not broken through the difficult pass

وَمَا٘ اَدۡرٰىكَ مَا الۡعَقَبَةُؕ‏

And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass

فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍۙ‏

It is the freeing of a slave

اَوۡ اِطۡعٰمٌ فِيۡ يَوۡمٍ ذِيۡ مَسۡغَبَةٍۙ‏

Or feeding on a day of severe hunger

يَّتِيۡمًا ذَا مَقۡرَبَةٍۙ‏

An orphan of near relationship

اَوۡ مِسۡكِيۡنًا ذَا مَتۡرَبَةٍؕ‏

Or a needy person in misery

ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَتَوَاصَوۡا بِالصَّبۡرِ وَتَوَاصَوۡا بِالۡمَرۡحَمَةِؕ‏

And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion

اُولٰٓئِكَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡمَيۡمَنَةِؕ‏

Those are the companions of the right

وَالَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَا هُمۡ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِؕ‏

But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left

عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَارٌ مُّؤۡصَدَةٌࣖ‏

Over them will be fire closed in

وَالشَّمۡسِ وَضُحٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

By the sun and its brightness

وَالۡقَمَرِ اِذَا تَلٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

And [by] the moon when it follows it

وَالنَّهَارِ اِذَا جَلّٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

And [by] the day when it displays it

وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا يَغۡشٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

And [by] the night when it covers it

وَالسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

And [by] the sky and He who constructed it

وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا طَحٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

And [by] the earth and He who spread it

وَنَفۡسٍ وَّمَا سَوّٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it

فَاَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُوۡرَهَا وَتَقۡوٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness

قَدۡ اَفۡلَحَ مَنۡ زَكّٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

He has succeeded who purifies it

وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَنۡ دَسّٰىهَاؕ‏

And he has failed who instills it [with corruption]

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُوۡدُ بِطَغۡوٰىهَا٘ۙࣕ‏

Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression

اِذِ انۭۡ بَعَثَ اَشۡقٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

When the most wretched of them was sent forth

فَقَالَ لَهُمۡ رَسُوۡلُ اللّٰهِ نَاقَةَ اللّٰهِ وَسُقۡيٰهَاؕ‏

And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink

فَكَذَّبُوۡهُ فَعَقَرُوۡهَا ࣢ۙࣕ فَدَمۡدَمَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ بِذَنۭۡ بِهِمۡ فَسَوّٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them]

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقۡبٰهَاࣖ‏

And He does not fear the consequence thereof

وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا يَغۡشٰيۙ‏

By the night when it covers

وَالنَّهَارِ اِذَا تَجَلّٰيۙ‏

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالۡاُنۡثٰ٘يۙ‏

And [by] He who created the male and female

اِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتّٰيؕ‏

Indeed, your efforts are diverse

فَاَمَّا مَنۡ اَعۡطٰي وَاتَّقٰيۙ‏

As for he who gives and fears Allah

وَصَدَّقَ بِالۡحُسۡنٰيۙ‏

And believes in the best [reward]

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهٗ لِلۡيُسۡرٰيؕ‏

We will ease him toward ease

وَاَمَّا مَنۭۡ بَخِلَ وَاسۡتَغۡنٰيۙ‏

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

وَكَذَّبَ بِالۡحُسۡنٰيۙ‏

And denies the best [reward]

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهٗ لِلۡعُسۡرٰيؕ‏

We will ease him toward difficulty

وَمَا يُغۡنِيۡ عَنۡهُ مَالُهٗ٘ اِذَا تَرَدّٰيؕ‏

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls

اِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدٰيؗۖ‏

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance

وَاِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡاٰخِرَةَ وَالۡاُوۡلٰي

And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life]

فَاَنۡذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارًا تَلَظّٰيۚ‏

So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing

لَا يَصۡلٰىهَا٘ اِلَّا الۡاَشۡقَيۙ‏

None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one

الَّذِيۡ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰيؕ‏

Who had denied and turned away

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الۡاَتۡقَيۙ‏

But the righteous one will avoid it

الَّذِيۡ يُؤۡتِيۡ مَالَهٗ يَتَزَكّٰيۚ‏

[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

وَمَا لِاَحَدٍ عِنۡدَهٗ مِنۡ نِّعۡمَةٍ تُجۡزٰ٘يۙ‏

And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

اِلَّا ابۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ الۡاَعۡلٰيۚ‏

But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High

وَلَسَوۡفَ يَرۡضٰيࣖ‏

And he is going to be satisfied

وَالضُّحٰيۙ‏

By the morning brightness

وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا سَجٰيۙ‏

And [by] the night when it covers with darkness

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلٰيؕ‏

Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you]

وَلَلۡاٰخِرَةُ خَيۡرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الۡاُوۡلٰيؕ‏

And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life]

وَلَسَوۡفَ يُعۡطِيۡكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرۡضٰيؕ‏

And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied

اَلَمۡ يَجِدۡكَ يَتِيۡمًا فَاٰوٰيࣕ‏

Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدٰيࣕ‏

And He found you lost and guided [you]

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَاَغۡنٰيؕ‏

And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient

فَاَمَّا الۡيَتِيۡمَ فَلَا تَقۡهَرۡؕ‏

So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him]

وَاَمَّا السَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنۡهَرۡؕ‏

And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him]

وَاَمَّا بِنِعۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثۡࣖ‏

But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it]

اَلَمۡ نَشۡرَحۡ لَكَ صَدۡرَكَۙ‏

Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast

وَوَضَعۡنَا عَنۡكَ وِزۡرَكَۙ‏

And We removed from you your burden

الَّذِيۡ٘ اَنۡقَضَ ظَهۡرَكَۙ‏

Which had weighed upon your back

وَرَفَعۡنَا لَكَ ذِكۡرَكَؕ‏

And raised high for you your repute

فَاِنَّ مَعَ الۡعُسۡرِ يُسۡرًاۙ‏

For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease

اِنَّ مَعَ الۡعُسۡرِ يُسۡرًاؕ‏

Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease

فَاِذَا فَرَغۡتَ فَانۡصَبۡۙ‏

So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship]

وَاِلٰي رَبِّكَ فَارۡغَبۡࣖ‏

And to your Lord direct [your] longing

وَالتِّيۡنِ وَالزَّيۡتُوۡنِۙ‏

By the fig and the olive

وَطُوۡرِ سِيۡنِيۡنَۙ‏

And [by] Mount Sinai

وَهٰذَا الۡبَلَدِ الۡاَمِيۡنِۙ‏

And [by] this secure city [Makkah]

لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ فِيۡ٘ اَحۡسَنِ تَقۡوِيۡمٍؗ‏

We have certainly created man in the best of stature

ثُمَّ رَدَدۡنٰهُ اَسۡفَلَ سٰفِلِيۡنَۙ‏

Then We return him to the lowest of the low

اِلَّا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَلَهُمۡ اَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُوۡنٍؕ‏

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds, for they will have a reward uninterrupted

فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعۡدُ بِالدِّيۡنِؕ‏

So what yet causes you to deny the Recompense

اَلَيۡسَ اللّٰهُ بِاَحۡكَمِ الۡحٰكِمِيۡنَࣖ‏

Is not Allah the most just of judges

اِقۡرَاۡ بِاسۡمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِيۡ خَلَقَۚ‏

Recite in the name of your Lord who created

خَلَقَ الۡاِنۡسَانَ مِنۡ عَلَقٍۚ‏

Created man from a clinging substance

اِقۡرَاۡ وَرَبُّكَ الۡاَكۡرَمُۙ‏

Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous

الَّذِيۡ عَلَّمَ بِالۡقَلَمِۙ‏

Who taught by the pen

عَلَّمَ الۡاِنۡسَانَ مَا لَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡؕ‏

Taught man that which he knew not

كَلَّا٘ اِنَّ الۡاِنۡسَانَ لَيَطۡغٰ٘يۙ‏

No! [But] indeed, man transgresses

اَنۡ رَّاٰهُ اسۡتَغۡنٰيؕ‏

Because he sees himself self-sufficient

اِنَّ اِلٰي رَبِّكَ الرُّجۡعٰيؕ‏

Indeed, to your Lord is the return

اَرَءَيۡتَ الَّذِيۡ يَنۡهٰيۙ‏

Have you seen the one who forbids

عَبۡدًا اِذَا صَلّٰيؕ‏

A servant when he prays

اَرَءَيۡتَ اِنۡ كَانَ عَلَي الۡهُدٰ٘يۙ‏

Have you seen if he is upon guidance

اَوۡ اَمَرَ بِالتَّقۡوٰيؕ‏

Or enjoins righteousness

اَرَءَيۡتَ اِنۡ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰيؕ‏

Have you seen if he denies and turns away

اَلَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَرٰيؕ‏

Does he not know that Allah sees

كَلَّا لَئِنۡ لَّمۡ يَنۡتَهِ ࣢ۙ لَنَسۡفَعًاۭ بِالنَّاصِيَةِۙ‏

No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock

نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍۚ‏

A lying, sinning forelock

فَلۡيَدۡعُ نَادِيَهٗۙ‏

Then let him call his associates

سَنَدۡعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَۙ‏

We will call the angels of Hell

كَلَّاؕ لَا تُطِعۡهُ وَاسۡجُدۡ وَاقۡتَرِبۡࣛࣖ‏

No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah]

اِنَّا٘ اَنۡزَلۡنٰهُ فِيۡ لَيۡلَةِ الۡقَدۡرِۚۙ‏

Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree

وَمَا٘ اَدۡرٰىكَ مَا لَيۡلَةُ الۡقَدۡرِؕ‏

And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree

لَيۡلَةُ الۡقَدۡرِ ࣢ۙ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ اَلۡفِ شَهۡرٍؕؔ‏

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months

تَنَزَّلُ الۡمَلٰٓئِكَةُ وَالرُّوۡحُ فِيۡهَا بِاِذۡنِ رَبِّهِمۡ مِّنۡ كُلِّ اَمۡرٍۙۛ‏

The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter

سَلٰمٌࣞۛ هِيَ حَتّٰي مَطۡلَعِ الۡفَجۡرِࣖ‏

Peace it is until the emergence of dawn

لَمۡ يَكُنِ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا مِنۡ اَهۡلِ الۡكِتٰبِ وَالۡمُشۡرِكِيۡنَ مُنۡفَكِّيۡنَ حَتّٰي تَاۡتِيَهُمُ الۡبَيِّنَةُۙ‏

Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists were not to be parted [from misbelief] until there came to them clear evidence

رَسُوۡلٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ يَتۡلُوۡا صُحُفًا مُّطَهَّرَةًۙ‏

A Messenger from Allah, reciting purified scriptures

فِيۡهَا كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌؕ‏

Within which are correct writings

وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡكِتٰبَ اِلَّا مِنۭۡ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ الۡبَيِّنَةُؕ‏

Nor did those who were given the Scripture become divided until after there had come to them clear evidence

وَمَا٘ اُمِرُوۡ٘ا اِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مُخۡلِصِيۡنَ لَهُ الدِّيۡنَ ࣢ۙ حُنَفَآءَ وَيُقِيۡمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَيُؤۡتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَذٰلِكَ دِيۡنُ الۡقَيِّمَةِؕ‏

And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakah. And that is the correct religion

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا مِنۡ اَهۡلِ الۡكِتٰبِ وَالۡمُشۡرِكِيۡنَ فِيۡ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَاؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ هُمۡ شَرُّ الۡبَرِيَّةِؕ‏

Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِۙ اُولٰٓئِكَ هُمۡ خَيۡرُ الۡبَرِيَّةِؕ‏

Indeed, they who have believed and done righteous deeds - those are the best of creatures

جَزَآؤُهُمۡ عِنۡدَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنّٰتُ عَدۡنٍ تَجۡرِيۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَا٘ اَبَدًاؕ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَرَضُوۡا عَنۡهُؕ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنۡ خَشِيَ رَبَّهٗࣖ‏

Their reward with Allah will be gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allah being pleased with them and they with Him. That is for whoever has feared his Lord

اِذَا زُلۡزِلَتِ الۡاَرۡضُ زِلۡزَالَهَاۙ‏

When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake

وَاَخۡرَجَتِ الۡاَرۡضُ اَثۡقَالَهَاۙ‏

And the earth discharges its burdens

وَقَالَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مَا لَهَاۚ‏

And man says, "What is [wrong] with it

يَوۡمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ اَخۡبَارَهَاؕ‏

That Day, it will report its news

بِاَنَّ رَبَّكَ اَوۡحٰي لَهَاؕ‏

Because your Lord has commanded it

يَوۡمَئِذٍ يَّصۡدُرُ النَّاسُ اَشۡتَاتًا ࣢ۙ لِّيُرَوۡا اَعۡمَالَهُمۡؕ‏

That Day, the people will depart separated [into categories] to be shown [the result of] their deeds

فَمَنۡ يَّعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيۡرًا يَّرَهٗؕ‏

So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it

وَمَنۡ يَّعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَّرَهٗࣖ‏

And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it

وَالۡعٰدِيٰتِ ضَبۡحًاۙ‏

By the racers, panting

فَالۡمُوۡرِيٰتِ قَدۡحًاۙ‏

And the producers of sparks [when] striking

فَالۡمُغِيۡرٰتِ صُبۡحًاۙ‏

And the chargers at dawn

فَاَثَرۡنَ بِهٖ نَقۡعًاۙ‏

Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust

فَوَسَطۡنَ بِهٖ جَمۡعًاۙ‏

Arriving thereby in the center collectively

اِنَّ الۡاِنۡسَانَ لِرَبِّهٖ لَكَنُوۡدٌۚ‏

Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful

وَاِنَّهٗ عَلٰي ذٰلِكَ لَشَهِيۡدٌۚ‏

And indeed, he is to that a witness

وَاِنَّهٗ لِحُبِّ الۡخَيۡرِ لَشَدِيۡدٌؕ‏

And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense

اَفَلَا يَعۡلَمُ اِذَا بُعۡثِرَ مَا فِي الۡقُبُوۡرِۙ‏

But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُوۡرِۙ‏

And that within the breasts is obtained

اِنَّ رَبَّهُمۡ بِهِمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيۡرٌࣖ‏

Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted

اَلۡقَارِعَةُۙ‏

The Striking Calamity

مَا الۡقَارِعَةُۚ‏

What is the Striking Calamity

وَمَا٘ اَدۡرٰىكَ مَا الۡقَارِعَةُؕ‏

And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity

يَوۡمَ يَكُوۡنُ النَّاسُ كَالۡفَرَاشِ الۡمَبۡثُوۡثِۙ‏

It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed

وَتَكُوۡنُ الۡجِبَالُ كَالۡعِهۡنِ الۡمَنۡفُوۡشِؕ‏

And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up

فَاَمَّا مَنۡ ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَازِيۡنُهٗۙ‏

Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds]

فَهُوَ فِيۡ عِيۡشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍؕ‏

He will be in a pleasant life

وَاَمَّا مَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَازِيۡنُهٗۙ‏

But as for one whose scales are light

فَاُمُّهٗ هَاوِيَةٌؕ‏

His refuge will be an abyss

وَمَا٘ اَدۡرٰىكَ مَا هِيَهۡؕ‏

And what can make you know what that is

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌࣖ‏

It is a Fire, intensely hot

اَلۡهٰىكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُۙ‏

Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you

حَتّٰي زُرۡتُمُ الۡمَقَابِرَؕ‏

Until you visit the graveyards

كَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَۙ‏

No! You are going to know

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَؕ‏

Then no! You are going to know

كَلَّا لَوۡ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ عِلۡمَ الۡيَقِيۡنِؕ‏

No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty

لَتَرَوُنَّ الۡجَحِيۡمَۙ‏

You will surely see the Hellfire

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيۡنَ الۡيَقِيۡنِۙ‏

Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty

ثُمَّ لَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيۡمِࣖ‏

Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure

وَالۡعَصۡرِۙ‏

By time

اِنَّ الۡاِنۡسَانَ لَفِيۡ خُسۡرٍۙ‏

Indeed, mankind is in loss

اِلَّا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوۡا بِالۡحَقِّ ࣢ۙ وَتَوَاصَوۡا بِالصَّبۡرِࣖ‏

Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience

وَيۡلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةِۙ‏

Woe to every scorner and mocker

اِۨلَّذِيۡ جَمَعَ مَالًا وَّعَدَّدَهٗۙ‏

Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it

يَحۡسَبُ اَنَّ مَالَهٗ٘ اَخۡلَدَهٗۚ‏

He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal

كَلَّا لَيُنۭۡ بَذَنَّ فِي الۡحُطَمَةِؗۖ‏

No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher

وَمَا٘ اَدۡرٰىكَ مَا الۡحُطَمَةُؕ‏

And what can make you know what is the Crusher

نَارُ اللّٰهِ الۡمُوۡقَدَةُۙ‏

It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled

الَّتِيۡ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَي الۡاَفۡـِٕدَةِؕ‏

Which mounts directed at the hearts

اِنَّهَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ مُّؤۡصَدَةٌۙ‏

Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them

فِيۡ عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍࣖ‏

In extended columns

اَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِاَصۡحٰبِ الۡفِيۡلِؕ‏

Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant

اَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡ كَيۡدَهُمۡ فِيۡ تَضۡلِيۡلٍۙ‏

Did He not make their plan into misguidance

وَّاَرۡسَلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ طَيۡرًا اَبَابِيۡلَۙ‏

And He sent against them birds in flocks

تَرۡمِيۡهِمۡ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّنۡ سِجِّيۡلٍۙ‏

Striking them with stones of hard clay

فَجَعَلَهُمۡ كَعَصۡفٍ مَّاۡكُوۡلٍࣖ‏

And He made them like eaten straw

لِاِيۡلٰفِ قُرَيۡشٍۙ‏

For the accustomed security of the Quraysh

اٖلٰفِهِمۡ رِحۡلَةَ الشِّتَآءِ وَالصَّيۡفِۚ‏

Their accustomed security [in] the caravan of winter and summer

فَلۡيَعۡبُدُوۡا رَبَّ هٰذَا الۡبَيۡتِۙ‏

Let them worship the Lord of this House

الَّذِيۡ٘ اَطۡعَمَهُمۡ مِّنۡ جُوۡعٍ ࣢ۙ وَّاٰمَنَهُمۡ مِّنۡ خَوۡفٍࣖ‏

Who has fed them, [saving them] from hunger and made them safe, [saving them] from fear

اَرَءَيۡتَ الَّذِيۡ يُكَذِّبُ بِالدِّيۡنِؕ‏

Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense

فَذٰلِكَ الَّذِيۡ يَدُعُّ الۡيَتِيۡمَۙ‏

For that is the one who drives away the orphan

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلٰي طَعَامِ الۡمِسۡكِيۡنِؕ‏

And does not encourage the feeding of the poor

فَوَيۡلٌ لِّلۡمُصَلِّيۡنَۙ‏

So woe to those who pray

الَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ عَنۡ صَلَاتِهِمۡ سَاهُوۡنَۙ‏

[But] who are heedless of their prayer

Those who make show [of their deeds]

And withhold [simple] assistance

Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muhammad], al-Kawthar

فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانۡحَرۡؕ‏

So pray to your Lord and sacrifice [to Him alone]

اِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الۡاَبۡتَرُࣖ‏

Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off

قُلۡ يٰ٘اَيُّهَا الۡكٰفِرُوۡنَۙ‏

Say, "O disbelievers

لَا٘ اَعۡبُدُ مَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَۙ‏

I do not worship what you worship

وَلَا٘ اَنۡتُمۡ عٰبِدُوۡنَ مَا٘ اَعۡبُدُۚ‏

Nor are you worshippers of what I worship

وَلَا٘ اَنَا عَابِدٌ مَّا عَبَدۡتُّمۡۙ‏

لَكُمۡ دِيۡنُكُمۡ وَلِيَ دِيۡنِࣖ‏

For you is your religion, and for me is my religion

اِذَا جَآءَ نَصۡرُ اللّٰهِ وَالۡفَتۡحُۙ‏

When the victory of Allah has come and the conquest

وَرَاَيۡتَ النَّاسَ يَدۡخُلُوۡنَ فِيۡ دِيۡنِ اللّٰهِ اَفۡوَاجًاۙ‏

And you see the people entering into the religion of Allah in multitudes

فَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ وَاسۡتَغۡفِرۡهُؕؔ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ تَوَّابًاࣖ‏

Then exalt [Him] with praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness of Him. Indeed, He is ever Accepting of repentance

تَبَّتۡ يَدَا٘ اَبِيۡ لَهَبٍ وَّتَبَّؕ‏

May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined, and ruined is he

مَا٘ اَغۡنٰي عَنۡهُ مَالُهٗ وَمَا كَسَبَؕ‏

His wealth will not avail him or that which he gained

سَيَصۡلٰي نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍۙ‏

He will [enter to] burn in a Fire of [blazing] flame

وَّامۡرَاَتُهٗؕ حَمَّالَةَ الۡحَطَبِۚ‏

And his wife [as well] - the carrier of firewood

فِيۡ جِيۡدِهَا حَبۡلٌ مِّنۡ مَّسَدٍࣖ‏

Around her neck is a rope of [twisted] fiber

قُلۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌۚ‏

Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One

اَللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُۚ‏

Allah, the Eternal Refuge

لَمۡ يَلِدۡ ࣢ۙ وَلَمۡ يُوۡلَدۡۙ‏

He neither begets nor is born

وَلَمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهٗ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌࣖ‏

Nor is there to Him any equivalent
