بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ1
About what are they asking one another?
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ2
About the great news -
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?
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
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.
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."
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا31
Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -
حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَـٰبًا32
Gardens and grapevines
وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا33
And young women [companions] of equal age.
وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا34
And a full cup.
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,
رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۖ 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.
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّا ۖ 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 ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ 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.
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 and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
