بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
- عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ1
About what are they asking one another?
- عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ2
About the great news[1821] -
- ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ3
That over which they are in disagreement.
- كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ4
No! They are going to know.
- ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ5
Then, no! They are going to know.
- أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَـٰدًا6
Have We not made the earth a resting place?
- وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا7
And the mountains as stakes?[1822]
- وَخَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا8
And We created you in pairs
- وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا9
And made your sleep [a means for] rest
- وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا10
And made the night as clothing[1823]
- وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا11
And made the day for livelihood
- وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا12
And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]
- وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا13
And made [therein] a burning lamp
- وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا14
And sent down from the rain clouds pouring water
- لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا15
That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation
- وَجَنَّـٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا16
And gardens of entwined growth.
- إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَـٰتًا17
Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -
- يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا18
The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes
- وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا19
And the heaven is opened and will become gateways
- وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا20
And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.
- إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا21
Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait
- لِّلطَّـٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًا22
For the transgressors, a place of return,
- لَّـٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًا23
In which they will remain for ages [unending].
- لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا24
They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink.
- إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا25
Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -
- جَزَآءً وِفَاقًا26
An appropriate recompense.[1824]
- إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا27
Indeed, they were not expecting an account
- وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا28
And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.
- وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَـٰهُ كِتَـٰبًا29
But all things We have enumerated in writing.
- فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا30
"So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."[1825]
- إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا31
Indeed, for the righteous is attainment[1826] -
- حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَـٰبًا32
Gardens and grapevines
- وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا33
And young women [companions] of equal age.
- وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا34
And a full cup.[1827]
- لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًا35
No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -
- جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا36
[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,[1828]
- رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا37
[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.[1829]
- يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّاۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا38
The Day that the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.
- ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا39
That is the True [i.e., certain] Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.[1830]
- إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَـٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا40
Indeed, We have warned you of an impending punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth[1831] and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
