Sura 78: AN-NABA (THE TIDINGS)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
عَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ ﴿۱﴾
Whereof do they question one another? (1)
عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ ﴿۲﴾
(It is) of the awful tidings, (2)
الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿۳﴾
Concerning which they are in disagreement. (3)
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۴﴾
Nay, but they will come to know! (4)
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۵﴾
Nay, again, but they will come to know! (5)
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ مِهَادًا ﴿۶﴾
Have We not made the earth an expanse, (6)
وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا ﴿۷﴾
And the high hills bulwarks? (7)
وَخَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ﴿۸﴾
And We have created you in pairs, (8)
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا ﴿۹﴾
And have appointed your sleep for repose, (9)
وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا ﴿۱۰﴾
And have appointed the night as a cloak, (10)
وَجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا ﴿۱۱﴾
And have appointed the day for livelihood. (11)
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا ﴿۱۲﴾
And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), (12)
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا ﴿۱۳﴾
And have appointed a dazzling lamp, (13)
وَأَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعْصِرَاتِ مَاءً ثَجَّاجًا ﴿۱۴﴾
And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, (14)
لِنُخْرِجَ بِهِ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا ﴿۱۵﴾
Thereby to produce grain and plant, (15)
وَجَنَّاتٍ أَلْفَافًا ﴿۱۶﴾
And gardens of thick foliage. (16)
إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَاتًا ﴿۱۷﴾
Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, (17)
يَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا ﴿۱۸﴾
A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, (18)
وَفُتِحَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَابًا ﴿۱۹﴾
And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, (19)
وَسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا ﴿۲۰﴾
And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. (20)
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا ﴿۲۱﴾
Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, (21)
لِلطَّاغِينَ مَآبًا ﴿۲۲﴾
A home for the rebellious. (22)
لَابِثِينَ فِيهَا أَحْقَابًا ﴿۲۳﴾
They will abide therein for ages. (23)
لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا ﴿۲۴﴾
Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink (24)
إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا ﴿۲۵﴾
Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: (25)
جَزَاءً وِفَاقًا ﴿۲۶﴾
Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). (26)
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا ﴿۲۷﴾
For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; (27)
وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كِذَّابًا ﴿۲۸﴾
They called Our revelations false with strong denial. (28)
وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ كِتَابًا ﴿۲۹﴾
Everything have We recorded in a Book. (29)
فَذُوقُوا فَلَنْ نَزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا ﴿۳۰﴾
So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. (30)
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا ﴿۳۱﴾
Lo! for the duteous is achievement - (31)
حَدَائِقَ وَأَعْنَابًا ﴿۳۲﴾
Gardens enclosed and vineyards, (32)
وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا ﴿۳۳﴾
And voluptuous women of equal age; (33)
وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا ﴿۳۴﴾
And a full cup. (34)
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّابًا ﴿۳۵﴾
There hear they never vain discourse, nor lying - (35)
جَزَاءً مِنْ رَبِّكَ عَطَاءً حِسَابًا ﴿۳۶﴾
Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment - (36)
رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الرَّحْمَنِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا ﴿۳۷﴾
Lord of the heavens and the earth, and (all) that is between them, the Beneficent; with Whom none can converse. (37)
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا لَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا ﴿۳۸﴾
On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right. (38)
ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ مَآبًا ﴿۳۹﴾
That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord. (39)
إِنَّا أَنْذَرْنَاكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنْظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ الْكَافِرُ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ تُرَابًا ﴿۴۰﴾
Lo! We warn you of a doom at hand, a day whereon a man will look on that which his own hands have sent before, and the disbeliever will cry: "Would that I were dust!" (40)
Sura 79: AN-NAZIAT (THOSE WHO DRAG FORTH)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا ﴿۱﴾
By those who drag forth to destruction, (1)
وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا ﴿۲﴾
By the meteors rushing, (2)
وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا ﴿۳﴾
By the lone stars floating, (3)
فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا ﴿۴﴾
By the angels hastening, (4)
فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا ﴿۵﴾
And those who govern the event, (5)
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ ﴿۶﴾
On the day when the first trump resoundeth. (6)
تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ ﴿۷﴾
And the second followeth it, (7)
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ ﴿۸﴾
On that day hearts beat painfully (8)
أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ ﴿۹﴾
While eyes are downcast (9)
يَقُولُونَ أَإِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ ﴿۱۰﴾
(Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state (10)
أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَخِرَةً ﴿۱۱﴾
Even after we are crumbled bones? (11)
قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ ﴿۱۲﴾
They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding. (12)
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ ﴿۱۳﴾
Surely it will need but one shout, (13)
فَإِذَا هُمْ بِالسَّاهِرَةِ ﴿۱۴﴾
And lo! they will be awakened. (14)
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَى ﴿۱۵﴾
Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses? (15)
إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ﴿۱۶﴾
How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa, (16)
اذْهَبْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَى ﴿۱۷﴾
(Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled - (17)
فَقُلْ هَلْ لَكَ إِلَى أَنْ تَزَكَّى ﴿۱۸﴾
And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace)? (18)
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَى ﴿۱۹﴾
Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him). (19)
فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَى ﴿۲۰﴾
And he showed him the tremendous token. (20)
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَى ﴿۲۱﴾
But he denied and disobeyed, (21)
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَى ﴿۲۲﴾
Then turned he away in haste, (22)
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَى ﴿۲۳﴾
Then gathered he and summoned (23)
فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَى ﴿۲۴﴾
And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest." (24)
فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَى ﴿۲۵﴾
So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former. (25)
إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِمَنْ يَخْشَى ﴿۲۶﴾
Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth. (26)
أَأَنْتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ بَنَاهَا ﴿۲۷﴾
Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built? (27)
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا ﴿۲۸﴾
He raised the height thereof and ordered it; (28)
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا ﴿۲۹﴾
And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof. (29)
وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ دَحَاهَا ﴿۳۰﴾
And after that He spread the earth, (30)
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا ﴿۳۱﴾
And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof, (31)
وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا ﴿۳۲﴾
And He made fast the hills, (32)
مَتَاعًا لَكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ ﴿۳۳﴾
A provision for you and for your cattle. (33)
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَى ﴿۳۴﴾
But when the great disaster cometh, (34)
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ مَا سَعَى ﴿۳۵﴾
The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour, (35)
وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَنْ يَرَى ﴿۳۶﴾
And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth, (36)
فَأَمَّا مَنْ طَغَى ﴿۳۷﴾
Then, as for him who rebelled (37)
وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا ﴿۳۸﴾
And chose the life of the world, (38)
فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى ﴿۳۹﴾
Lo! hell will be his home. (39)
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى ﴿۴۰﴾
But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust, (40)
فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى ﴿۴۱﴾
Lo! the Garden will be his home. (41)
يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا ﴿۴۲﴾
They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port? (42)
فِيمَ أَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرَاهَا ﴿۴۳﴾
Why (ask they)? What hast thou to tell thereof? (43)
إِلَى رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهَاهَا ﴿۴۴﴾
Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof. (44)
إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُنْذِرُ مَنْ يَخْشَاهَا ﴿۴۵﴾
Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it. (45)
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا ﴿۴۶﴾
On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof. (46)
Sura 80: ABASA (HE FROWNED)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى ﴿۱﴾
He frowned and turned away (1)
أَنْ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَى ﴿۲﴾
Because the blind man came unto him. (2)
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّى ﴿۳﴾
What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace) (3)
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنْفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَى ﴿۴﴾
Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him? (4)
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى ﴿۵﴾
As for him who thinketh himself independent, (5)
فَأَنْتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّى ﴿۶﴾
Unto him thou payest regard. (6)
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّى ﴿۷﴾
Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace). (7)
وَأَمَّا مَنْ جَاءَكَ يَسْعَى ﴿۸﴾
But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose (8)
وَهُوَ يَخْشَى ﴿۹﴾
And hath fear, (9)
فَأَنْتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّى ﴿۱۰﴾
From him thou art distracted. (10)
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ ﴿۱۱﴾
Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment, (11)
فَمَنْ شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ ﴿۱۲﴾
So let whosoever will pay heed to it, (12)
فِي صُحُفٍ مُكَرَّمَةٍ ﴿۱۳﴾
On honoured leaves (13)
مَرْفُوعَةٍ مُطَهَّرَةٍ ﴿۱۴﴾
Exalted, purified, (14)
بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ ﴿۱۵﴾
(Set down) by scribes (15)
كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ ﴿۱۶﴾
Noble and righteous. (16)
قُتِلَ الْإِنْسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ ﴿۱۷﴾
Man is (self-)destroyed: how ungrateful! (17)
مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ ﴿۱۸﴾
From what thing doth He create him? (18)
مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ ﴿۱۹﴾
From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him, (19)
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ ﴿۲۰﴾
Then maketh the way easy for him, (20)
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ ﴿۲۱﴾
Then causeth him to die, and burieth him; (21)
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْشَرَهُ ﴿۲۲﴾
Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life. (22)
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ ﴿۲۳﴾
Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him. (23)
فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْإِنْسَانُ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ ﴿۲۴﴾
Let man consider his food: (24)
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا ﴿۲۵﴾
How We pour water in showers (25)
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا ﴿۲۶﴾
Then split the earth in clefts (26)
فَأَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا ﴿۲۷﴾
And cause the grain to grow therein (27)
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا ﴿۲۸﴾
And grapes and green fodder (28)
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا ﴿۲۹﴾
And olive-trees and palm-trees (29)
وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا ﴿۳۰﴾
And garden-closes of thick foliage (30)
وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا ﴿۳۱﴾
And fruits and grasses: (31)
مَتَاعًا لَكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ ﴿۳۲﴾
Provision for you and your cattle. (32)
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ ﴿۳۳﴾
But when the Shout cometh (33)
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ﴿۳۴﴾
On the day when a man fleeth from his brother (34)
وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ ﴿۳۵﴾
And his mother and his father (35)
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ ﴿۳۶﴾
And his wife and his children, (36)
لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ ﴿۳۷﴾
Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others). (37)
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُسْفِرَةٌ ﴿۳۸﴾
On that day faces will be bright as dawn, (38)
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُسْتَبْشِرَةٌ ﴿۳۹﴾
Laughing, rejoicing at good news; (39)
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ ﴿۴۰﴾
And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them, (40)
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ﴿۴۱﴾
Veiled in darkness, (41)
أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ ﴿۴۲﴾
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked. (42)
Sura 81: AT-TAKWIR (THE OVERTHROWING)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ ﴿۱﴾
When the sun is overthrown, (1)
وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انْكَدَرَتْ ﴿۲﴾
And when the stars fall, (2)
وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ ﴿۳﴾
And when the hills are moved, (3)
وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ ﴿۴﴾
And when the camels big with young are abandoned, (4)
وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ ﴿۵﴾
And when the wild beasts are herded together, (5)
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ ﴿۶﴾
And when the seas rise, (6)
وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ ﴿۷﴾
And when souls are reunited, (7)
وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ ﴿۸﴾
And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked (8)
بِأَيِّ ذَنْبٍ قُتِلَتْ ﴿۹﴾
For what sin she was slain, (9)
وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ ﴿۱۰﴾
And when the pages are laid open, (10)
وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ ﴿۱۱﴾
And when the sky is torn away, (11)
وَإِذَا الْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ ﴿۱۲﴾
And when hell is lighted, (12)
وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ ﴿۱۳﴾
And when the Garden is brought nigh, (13)
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا أَحْضَرَتْ ﴿۱۴﴾
(Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. (14)
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ ﴿۱۵﴾
Oh, but I call to witness the planets, (15)
الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ ﴿۱۶﴾
The stars which rise and set, (16)
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ ﴿۱۷﴾
And the close of night, (17)
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ ﴿۱۸﴾
And the breath of morning (18)
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ ﴿۱۹﴾
That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, (19)
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِنْدَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ ﴿۲۰﴾
Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, (20)
مُطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ ﴿۲۱﴾
(One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; (21)
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمْ بِمَجْنُونٍ ﴿۲۲﴾
And your comrade is not mad. (22)
وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ ﴿۲۳﴾
Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. (23)
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ ﴿۲۴﴾
And he is not avid of the Unseen. (24)
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ ﴿۲۵﴾
Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. (25)
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ ﴿۲۶﴾
Whither then go ye? (26)
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۲۷﴾
This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, (27)
لِمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَقِيمَ ﴿۲۸﴾
Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. (28)
وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۲۹﴾
And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. (29)
Sura 82: AL-INFITAR (THE CLEAVING)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْفَطَرَتْ ﴿۱﴾
When the heaven is cleft asunder, (1)
وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انْتَثَرَتْ ﴿۲﴾
When the planets are dispersed, (2)
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ ﴿۳﴾
When the seas are poured forth, (3)
وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ ﴿۴﴾
And the sepulchres are overturned, (4)
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ ﴿۵﴾
A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind. (5)
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ ﴿۶﴾
O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful, (6)
الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ ﴿۷﴾
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee? (7)
فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ ﴿۸﴾
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee. (8)
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ ﴿۹﴾
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment. (9)
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ ﴿۱۰﴾
Lo! there are above you guardians, (10)
كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ ﴿۱۱﴾
Generous and recording, (11)
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿۱۲﴾
Who know (all) that ye do. (12)
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ ﴿۱۳﴾
Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight. (13)
وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ ﴿۱۴﴾
And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell; (14)
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ ﴿۱۵﴾
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment, (15)
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ ﴿۱۶﴾
And will not be absent thence. (16)
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ ﴿۱۷﴾
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is! (17)
