بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ عَمَّ یَتَسَاۤءَلُونَ
About what are they asking one another?
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ
About the great news -
ٱلَّذِی هُمۡ فِیهِ مُخۡتَلِفُونَ
That over which they are in disagreement.
كَلَّا سَیَعۡلَمُونَ
No! They are going to know.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَیَعۡلَمُونَ
Then, no! They are going to know.
أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِهَـٰدࣰا
Have We not made the earth a resting place?
وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَوۡتَادࣰا
And the mountains as stakes?
وَخَلَقۡنَـٰكُمۡ أَزۡوَ ٰجࣰا
And We created you in pairs
وَجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتࣰا
And made your sleep [a means for] rest
وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّیۡلَ لِبَاسࣰا
And made the night as clothing
وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشࣰا
And made the day for livelihood
وَبَنَیۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعࣰا شِدَادࣰا
And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]
وَجَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجࣰا وَهَّاجࣰا
And made [therein] a burning lamp
وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُعۡصِرَ ٰتِ مَاۤءࣰ ثَجَّاجࣰا
And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water
لِّنُخۡرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبࣰّا وَنَبَاتࣰا
That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation
وَجَنَّـٰتٍ أَلۡفَافًا
And gardens of entwined growth.
إِنَّ یَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ كَانَ مِیقَـٰتࣰا
Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -
یَوۡمَ یُنفَخُ فِی ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجࣰا
The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes
وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَ ٰبࣰا
And the heaven is opened and will become gateways
وَسُیِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا
And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادࣰا
Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait
لِّلطَّـٰغِینَ مَـَٔابࣰا
For the transgressors, a place of return,
لَّـٰبِثِینَ فِیهَاۤ أَحۡقَابࣰا
In which they will remain for ages [unending].
لَّا یَذُوقُونَ فِیهَا بَرۡدࣰا وَلَا شَرَابًا
They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink
إِلَّا حَمِیمࣰا وَغَسَّاقࣰا
Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -
جَزَاۤءࣰ وِفَاقًا
An appropriate recompense.
إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ لَا یَرۡجُونَ حِسَابࣰا
Indeed, they were not expecting an account
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔایَـٰتِنَا كِذَّابࣰا
And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.
وَكُلَّ شَیۡءٍ أَحۡصَیۡنَـٰهُ كِتَـٰبࣰا
But all things We have enumerated in writing.
فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِیدَكُمۡ إِلَّا عَذَابًا
"So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."
إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِینَ مَفَازًا
Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -
حَدَاۤىِٕقَ وَأَعۡنَـٰبࣰا
Gardens and grapevines
وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتۡرَابࣰا
And full-breasted [companions] of equal age
وَكَأۡسࣰا دِهَاقࣰا
And a full cup.
لَّا یَسۡمَعُونَ فِیهَا لَغۡوࣰا وَلَا كِذَّ ٰبࣰا
No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -
جَزَاۤءࣰ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَاۤءً حِسَابࣰا
[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,
رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِۖ لَا یَمۡلِكُونَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابࣰا
[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.
یَوۡمَ یَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةُ صَفࣰّاۖ لَّا یَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابࣰا
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.
ذَ ٰلِكَ ٱلۡیَوۡمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَن شَاۤءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا
That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.
إِنَّاۤ أَنذَرۡنَـٰكُمۡ عَذَابࣰا قَرِیبࣰا یَوۡمَ یَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ یَدَاهُ وَیَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ یَـٰلَیۡتَنِی كُنتُ تُرَ ٰبَۢا
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!"
