وَكَمۡ اَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُمۡ مِّنۡ قَرۡنٍ هُمۡ اَشَدُّ مِنۡهُمۡ بَطۡشًا فَنَقَّبُوۡا فِي الۡبِلَادِؕ هَلۡ مِنۡ مَّحِيۡصٍ

And how many a generation before them did We destroy who were greater than them in [striking] power and had explored throughout the lands. Is there any place of escape

اِنَّ فِيۡ ذٰلِكَ لَذِكۡرٰي لِمَنۡ كَانَ لَهٗ قَلۡبٌ اَوۡ اَلۡقَي السَّمۡعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيۡدٌ

Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind]

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِيۡ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍࣗۖ وَّمَا مَسَّنَا مِنۡ لُّغُوۡبٍ

And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness

فَاصۡبِرۡ عَلٰي مَا يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ قَبۡلَ طُلُوۡعِ الشَّمۡسِ وَقَبۡلَ الۡغُرُوۡبِۚ‏

So be patient, [O Muhammad], over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting

وَمِنَ الَّيۡلِ فَسَبِّحۡهُ وَاَدۡبَارَ السُّجُوۡدِ

And [in part] of the night exalt Him and after prostration

وَاسۡتَمِعۡ يَوۡمَ يُنَادِ الۡمُنَادِ مِنۡ مَّكَانٍ قَرِيۡبٍۙ‏

And listen on the Day when the Caller will call out from a place that is near

يَّوۡمَ يَسۡمَعُوۡنَ الصَّيۡحَةَ بِالۡحَقِّؕ ذٰلِكَ يَوۡمُ الۡخُرُوۡجِ

The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves]

اِنَّا نَحۡنُ نُحۡيٖ وَنُمِيۡتُ وَاِلَيۡنَا الۡمَصِيۡرُۙ‏

Indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination

يَوۡمَ تَشَقَّقُ الۡاَرۡضُ عَنۡهُمۡ سِرَاعًاؕ ذٰلِكَ حَشۡرٌ عَلَيۡنَا يَسِيۡرٌ

On the Day the earth breaks away from them [and they emerge] rapidly; that is a gathering easy for Us

نَحۡنُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ وَمَا٘ اَنۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِجَبَّارٍࣞ فَذَكِّرۡ بِالۡقُرۡاٰنِ مَنۡ يَّخَافُ وَعِيۡدِࣖ‏

We are most knowing of what they say, and you are not over them a tyrant. But remind by the Qur'an whoever fears My threat

وَالذّٰرِيٰتِ ذَرۡوًاۙ‏

By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing

فَالۡحٰمِلٰتِ وِقۡرًاۙ‏

And those [clouds] carrying a load [of water]

فَالۡجٰرِيٰتِ يُسۡرًاۙ‏

And those [ships] sailing with ease

فَالۡمُقَسِّمٰتِ اَمۡرًاۙ‏

And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter

اِنَّمَا تُوۡعَدُوۡنَ لَصَادِقٌۙ‏

Indeed, what you are promised is true

وَّاِنَّ الدِّيۡنَ لَوَاقِعٌؕ‏

And indeed, the recompense is to occur
