Juz 29

تَبَـٰرَكَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌ ﴿١﴾

Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion, and He is over all things competent -

tabāraka alladhī biyadihi l-mul'ku wahuwa ʿalā kulli shayin qadīrun

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَٱلْحَيَوٰةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًۭا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفُورُ ﴿٢﴾

[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving -

alladhī khalaqa l-mawta wal-ḥayata liyabluwakum ayyukum aḥsanu ʿamalan wahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-ghafūru

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَٰتٍۢ طِبَاقًۭا ۖ مَّا تَرَىٰ فِى خَلْقِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مِن تَفَـٰوُتٍۢ ۖ فَٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَىٰ مِن فُطُورٍۢ ﴿٣﴾

[And] who created seven heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?

alladhī khalaqa sabʿa samāwātin ṭibāqan mā tarā fī khalqi l-raḥmāni min tafāwutin fa-ir'jiʿi l-baṣara hal tarā min fuṭūrin

ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًۭا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٌۭ ﴿٤﴾

Then return [your] vision twice again. [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.

thumma ir'jiʿi l-baṣara karratayni yanqalib ilayka l-baṣaru khāsi-an wahuwa ḥasīrun

وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِمَصَـٰبِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَـٰهَا رُجُومًۭا لِّلشَّيَـٰطِينِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ﴿٥﴾

And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars] and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.

walaqad zayyannā l-samāa l-dun'yā bimaṣābīḥa wajaʿalnāhā rujūman lilshayāṭīni wa-aʿtadnā lahum ʿadhāba l-saʿīri

وَلِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ﴿٦﴾

And for those who disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell, and wretched is the destination.

walilladhīna kafarū birabbihim ʿadhābu jahannama wabi'sa l-maṣīru

إِذَآ أُلْقُوا۟ فِيهَا سَمِعُوا۟ لَهَا شَهِيقًۭا وَهِىَ تَفُورُ ﴿٧﴾

When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up.

idhā ul'qū fīhā samiʿū lahā shahīqan wahiya tafūru

تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ ٱلْغَيْظِ ۖ كُلَّمَآ أُلْقِىَ فِيهَا فَوْجٌۭ سَأَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَآ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيرٌۭ ﴿٨﴾

It almost bursts with rage. Every time a company is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, "Did there not come to you a warner?"

takādu tamayyazu mina l-ghayẓi kullamā ul'qiya fīhā fawjun sa-alahum khazanatuhā alam yatikum nadhīrun

قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ قَدْ جَآءَنَا نَذِيرٌۭ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍۢ كَبِيرٍۢ ﴿٩﴾

They will say, "Yes, a warner had come to us, but we denied and said, 'Allāh has not sent down anything. You are not but in great error.'"

qālū balā qad jāanā nadhīrun fakadhabnā waqul'nā mā nazzala l-lahu min shayin in antum illā fī ḍalālin kabīrin

وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِىٓ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ﴿١٠﴾

And they will say, "If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze."

waqālū law kunnā nasmaʿu aw naʿqilu mā kunnā fī aṣḥābi l-saʿīri

فَٱعْتَرَفُوا۟ بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسُحْقًۭا لِّأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ﴿١١﴾

And they will admit their sin, so [it is] alienation for the companions of the Blaze.

fa-iʿ'tarafū bidhanbihim fasuḥ'qan li-aṣḥābi l-saʿīri

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَيْبِ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌۭ وَأَجْرٌۭ كَبِيرٌۭ ﴿١٢﴾

Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and great reward.

inna alladhīna yakhshawna rabbahum bil-ghaybi lahum maghfiratun wa-ajrun kabīrun

وَأَسِرُّوا۟ قَوْلَكُمْ أَوِ ٱجْهَرُوا۟ بِهِۦٓ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ﴿١٣﴾

And conceal your speech or publicize it; indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

wa-asirrū qawlakum awi ij'harū bihi innahu ʿalīmun bidhāti l-ṣudūri

أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ ٱللَّطِيفُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ ﴿١٤﴾

Does He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, the Aware?

alā yaʿlamu man khalaqa wahuwa l-laṭīfu l-khabīru

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ذَلُولًۭا فَٱمْشُوا۟ فِى مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوا۟ مِن رِّزْقِهِۦ ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ ٱلنُّشُورُ ﴿١٥﴾

It is He who made the earth tame for you - so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision - and to Him is the resurrection.

huwa alladhī jaʿala lakumu l-arḍa dhalūlan fa-im'shū fī manākibihā wakulū min riz'qihi wa-ilayhi l-nushūru

ءَأَمِنتُم مَّن فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَمُورُ ﴿١٦﴾

Do you feel secure that He who is above would not cause the earth to swallow you and suddenly it would sway?

a-amintum man fī l-samāi an yakhsifa bikumu l-arḍa fa-idhā hiya tamūru

أَمْ أَمِنتُم مَّن فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًۭا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ نَذِيرِ ﴿١٧﴾

Or do you feel secure that He who is above would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning.

am amintum man fī l-samāi an yur'sila ʿalaykum ḥāṣiban fasataʿlamūna kayfa nadhīri

وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ ﴿١٨﴾

And already had those before them denied, and how [terrible] was My reproach.

walaqad kadhaba alladhīna min qablihim fakayfa kāna nakīri

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صَـٰٓفَّـٰتٍۢ وَيَقْبِضْنَ ۚ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍۭ بَصِيرٌ ﴿١٩﴾

Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.

awalam yaraw ilā l-ṭayri fawqahum ṣāffātin wayaqbiḍ'na mā yum'sikuhunna illā l-raḥmānu innahu bikulli shayin baṣīrun

أَمَّنْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ جُندٌۭ لَّكُمْ يَنصُرُكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۚ إِنِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ إِلَّا فِى غُرُورٍ ﴿٢٠﴾

Or who is it that could be an army for you to aid you other than the Most Merciful? The disbelievers are not but in delusion.

amman hādhā alladhī huwa jundun lakum yanṣurukum min dūni l-raḥmāni ini l-kāfirūna illā fī ghurūrin

أَمَّنْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى يَرْزُقُكُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهُۥ ۚ بَل لَّجُّوا۟ فِى عُتُوٍّۢ وَنُفُورٍ ﴿٢١﴾

Or who is it that could provide for you if He withheld His provision? But they have persisted in insolence and aversion.

amman hādhā alladhī yarzuqukum in amsaka riz'qahu bal lajjū fī ʿutuwwin wanufūrin

أَفَمَن يَمْشِى مُكِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِۦٓ أَهْدَىٰٓ أَمَّن يَمْشِى سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ ﴿٢٢﴾

Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?

afaman yamshī mukibban ʿalā wajhihi ahdā amman yamshī sawiyyan ʿalā ṣirāṭin mus'taqīmin

قُلْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۖ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٢٣﴾

Say, "It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful."

qul huwa alladhī ansha-akum wajaʿala lakumu l-samʿa wal-abṣāra wal-afidata qalīlan mā tashkurūna

قُلْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِى ذَرَأَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ ﴿٢٤﴾

Say, "It is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered."

qul huwa alladhī dhara-akum fī l-arḍi wa-ilayhi tuḥ'sharūna

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ﴿٢٥﴾

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

wayaqūlūna matā hādhā l-waʿdu in kuntum ṣādiqīna

قُلْ إِنَّمَا ٱلْعِلْمُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿٢٦﴾

Say, "The knowledge is only with Allāh, and I am only a clear warner."

qul innamā l-ʿil'mu ʿinda l-lahi wa-innamā anā nadhīrun mubīnun

فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ زُلْفَةًۭ سِيٓـَٔتْ وُجُوهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَقِيلَ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَدَّعُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾

But when they see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, "This is that for which you used to call."

falammā ra-awhu zul'fatan sīat wujūhu alladhīna kafarū waqīla hādhā alladhī kuntum bihi taddaʿūna

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Have you considered: whether Allāh should cause my death and those with me or have mercy upon us, who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"

qul ara-aytum in ahlakaniya l-lahu waman maʿiya aw raḥimanā faman yujīru l-kāfirīna min ʿadhābin alīmin

Say, "He is the Most Merciful; we have believed in Him, and upon Him we have relied. And you will [come to] know who it is that is in clear error."

Say, "Have you considered: if your water was to become sunken [into the earth], then who could bring you flowing water?"

qul ara-aytum in aṣbaḥa māukum ghawran faman yatīkum bimāin maʿīnin

نٓ ۚ وَٱلْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ ﴿١﴾

Nūn. By the pen and what they inscribe,

noon wal-qalami wamā yasṭurūna

مَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجْنُونٍۢ ﴿٢﴾

You are not, [O Muḥammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman.

mā anta biniʿ'mati rabbika bimajnūnin

وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجْرًا غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍۢ ﴿٣﴾

And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.

wa-inna laka la-ajran ghayra mamnūnin

وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ﴿٤﴾

And indeed, you are of a great moral character.

wa-innaka laʿalā khuluqin ʿaẓīmin

فَسَتُبْصِرُ وَيُبْصِرُونَ ﴿٥﴾

So you will see and they will see.

fasatub'ṣiru wayub'ṣirūna

بِأَييِّكُمُ ٱلْمَفْتُونُ ﴿٦﴾

Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil].

bi-ayyikumu l-maftūnu

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ ﴿٧﴾

Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.

inna rabbaka huwa aʿlamu biman ḍalla ʿan sabīlihi wahuwa aʿlamu bil-muh'tadīna

فَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٨﴾

Then do not obey the deniers.

falā tuṭiʿi l-mukadhibīna

وَدُّوا۟ لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ ﴿٩﴾

They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].

waddū law tud'hinu fayud'hinūna

وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍۢ مَّهِينٍ ﴿١٠﴾

And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer

walā tuṭiʿ kulla ḥallāfin mahīnin

هَمَّازٍۢ مَّشَّآءٍۭ بِنَمِيمٍۢ ﴿١١﴾

[And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -

hammāzin mashāin binamīmin

مَّنَّاعٍۢ لِّلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ﴿١٢﴾

A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,

mannāʿin lil'khayri muʿ'tadin athīmin

عُتُلٍّۭ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ زَنِيمٍ ﴿١٣﴾

Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.

ʿutullin baʿda dhālika zanīmin

أَن كَانَ ذَا مَالٍۢ وَبَنِينَ ﴿١٤﴾

Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,

an kāna dhā mālin wabanīna

إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَـٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿١٥﴾

When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."

idhā tut'lā ʿalayhi āyātunā qāla asāṭīru l-awalīna

سَنَسِمُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلْخُرْطُومِ ﴿١٦﴾

We will brand him upon the snout.

sanasimuhu ʿalā l-khur'ṭūmi

إِنَّا بَلَوْنَـٰهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ إِذْ أَقْسَمُوا۟ لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ ﴿١٧﴾

Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning

innā balawnāhum kamā balawnā aṣḥāba l-janati idh aqsamū layaṣrimunnahā muṣ'biḥīna

وَلَا يَسْتَثْنُونَ ﴿١٨﴾

Without making exception.

walā yastathnūna

فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا طَآئِفٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمْ نَآئِمُونَ ﴿١٩﴾

So there came upon it [i.e., the garden] an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.

faṭāfa ʿalayhā ṭāifun min rabbika wahum nāimūna

فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَٱلصَّرِيمِ ﴿٢٠﴾

And it became as though reaped.

fa-aṣbaḥat kal-ṣarīmi

فَتَنَادَوْا۟ مُصْبِحِينَ ﴿٢١﴾

And they called one another at morning,

fatanādaw muṣ'biḥīna

أَنِ ٱغْدُوا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرْثِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰرِمِينَ ﴿٢٢﴾

[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."

ani igh'dū ʿalā ḥarthikum in kuntum ṣārimīna

فَٱنطَلَقُوا۟ وَهُمْ يَتَخَـٰفَتُونَ ﴿٢٣﴾

So they set out, while lowering their voices,

fa-inṭalaqū wahum yatakhāfatūna

أَن لَّا يَدْخُلَنَّهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُم مِّسْكِينٌۭ ﴿٢٤﴾

[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."

an lā yadkhulannahā l-yawma ʿalaykum mis'kīnun

وَغَدَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرْدٍۢ قَـٰدِرِينَ ﴿٢٥﴾

And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.

waghadaw ʿalā ḥardin qādirīna

فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهَا قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ ﴿٢٦﴾

But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;

falammā ra-awhā qālū innā laḍāllūna

بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾

Rather, we have been deprived."

bal naḥnu maḥrūmūna

قَالَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ ﴿٢٨﴾

The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allāh]?'"

qāla awsaṭuhum alam aqul lakum lawlā tusabbiḥūna

قَالُوا۟ سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ ﴿٢٩﴾

They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

qālū sub'ḥāna rabbinā innā kunnā ẓālimīna

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَلَـٰوَمُونَ ﴿٣٠﴾

Then they approached one another, blaming each other.

fa-aqbala baʿḍuhum ʿalā baʿḍin yatalāwamūna

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَـٰغِينَ ﴿٣١﴾

They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.

qālū yāwaylanā innā kunnā ṭāghīna

عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَٰغِبُونَ ﴿٣٢﴾

Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."

ʿasā rabbunā an yub'dilanā khayran min'hā innā ilā rabbinā rāghibūna

كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾

Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.

kadhālika l-ʿadhābu walaʿadhābu l-ākhirati akbaru law kānū yaʿlamūna

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿٣٤﴾

Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure.

inna lil'muttaqīna ʿinda rabbihim jannāti l-naʿīmi

أَفَنَجْعَلُ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ كَٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿٣٥﴾

Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?

afanajʿalu l-mus'limīna kal-muj'rimīna

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ﴿٣٦﴾

What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?

mā lakum kayfa taḥkumūna

أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَـٰبٌۭ فِيهِ تَدْرُسُونَ ﴿٣٧﴾

Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

am lakum kitābun fīhi tadrusūna

إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ ﴿٣٨﴾

That indeed for you is whatever you choose?

inna lakum fīhi lamā takhayyarūna

أَمْ لَكُمْ أَيْمَـٰنٌ عَلَيْنَا بَـٰلِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۙ إِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَ ﴿٣٩﴾

Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?

am lakum aymānun ʿalaynā bālighatun ilā yawmi l-qiyāmati inna lakum lamā taḥkumūna

سَلْهُمْ أَيُّهُم بِذَٰلِكَ زَعِيمٌ ﴿٤٠﴾

Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.

salhum ayyuhum bidhālika zaʿīmun

أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَآءُ فَلْيَأْتُوا۟ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمْ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَـٰدِقِينَ ﴿٤١﴾

Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.

am lahum shurakāu falyatū bishurakāihim in kānū ṣādiqīna

يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَن سَاقٍۢ وَيُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾

The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but they [i.e., the disbelievers] will not be able,

yawma yuk'shafu ʿan sāqin wayud'ʿawna ilā l-sujūdi falā yastaṭīʿūna

خَـٰشِعَةً أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌۭ ۖ وَقَدْ كَانُوا۟ يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ وَهُمْ سَـٰلِمُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.

khāshiʿatan abṣāruhum tarhaquhum dhillatun waqad kānū yud'ʿawna ilā l-sujūdi wahum sālimūna

فَذَرْنِى وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ ۖ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾

So leave Me, [O Muḥammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies this statement [i.e., the Qur’ān]. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.

And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.

أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًۭا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍۢ مُّثْقَلُونَ ﴿٤٦﴾

Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

am tasaluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muth'qalūna

أَمْ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

am ʿindahumu l-ghaybu fahum yaktubūna

فَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ ٱلْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌۭ ﴿٤٨﴾

Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muḥammad], and be not like the companion of the fish [i.e., Jonah] when he called out while he was distressed.

fa-iṣ'bir liḥuk'mi rabbika walā takun kaṣāḥibi l-ḥūti idh nādā wahuwa makẓūmun

If not that a favor [i.e., mercy] from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.

lawlā an tadārakahu niʿ'matun min rabbihi lanubidha bil-ʿarāi wahuwa madhmūmun

فَٱجْتَبَـٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَجَعَلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ﴿٥٠﴾

And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.

وَإِن يَكَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَـٰرِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا۟ ٱلذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ ﴿٥١﴾

And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes [i.e., looks] when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."

wa-in yakādu alladhīna kafarū layuz'liqūnaka bi-abṣārihim lammā samiʿū l-dhik'ra wayaqūlūna innahu lamajnūnun

But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.

The Inevitable Reality -

What is the Inevitable Reality?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ﴿٣﴾

And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌۢ بِٱلْقَارِعَةِ ﴿٤﴾

Thamūd and ʿAad denied the Striking Calamity [i.e., the Resurrection].

kadhabat thamūdu waʿādun bil-qāriʿati

فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ ﴿٥﴾

So as for Thamūd, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].

وَأَمَّا عَادٌۭ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِرِيحٍۢ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍۢ ﴿٦﴾

And as for ʿAad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind

Which He [i.e., Allāh] imposed upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so you would see the people therein fallen as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees.

And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.

فَعَصَوْا۟ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةًۭ رَّابِيَةً ﴿١٠﴾

And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].

إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلْمَآءُ حَمَلْنَـٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْجَارِيَةِ ﴿١١﴾

Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried you [i.e., your ancestors] in the sailing ship

وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ ﴿١٤﴾

And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow [i.e., stroke] -

waḥumilati l-arḍu wal-jibālu fadukkatā dakkatan wāḥidatan

فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ ﴿١٥﴾

Then on that Day, the Occurrence [i.e., Resurrection] will occur,

وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاهِيَةٌۭ ﴿١٦﴾

And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].

That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.

So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!

Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."

So he will be in a pleasant life -

In an elevated garden,

But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my record

And had not known what is my account.

I wish it [i.e., my death] had been the decisive one.

My wealth has not availed me.

[Allāh will say], "Seize him and shackle him.

Then into Hellfire drive him.

ثُمَّ فِى سِلْسِلَةٍۢ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًۭا فَٱسْلُكُوهُ ﴿٣٢﴾

Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٣٣﴾

Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allāh, the Most Great,

innahu kāna lā yu'minu bil-lahi l-ʿaẓīmi

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ﴿٣٤﴾

Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.

فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَـٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌۭ ﴿٣٥﴾

So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend

وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍۢ ﴿٣٦﴾

Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;

None will eat it except the sinners.

So I swear by what you see

And what you do not see

wamā lā tub'ṣirūna

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ﴿٤٠﴾

[That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is the word of a noble Messenger.

innahu laqawlu rasūlin karīmin

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٤١﴾

And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.

وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾

Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.

walā biqawli kāhinin qalīlan mā tadhakkarūna

تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴿٤٣﴾

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

tanzīlun min rabbi l-ʿālamīna

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ ﴿٤٤﴾

And if he [i.e., Muḥammad] had made up about Us some [false] sayings,

walaw taqawwala ʿalaynā baʿḍa l-aqāwīli

لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿٤٥﴾

We would have seized him by the right hand;

la-akhadhnā min'hu bil-yamīni

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾

Then We would have cut from him the aorta.

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَـٰجِزِينَ ﴿٤٧﴾

And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.

famā minkum min aḥadin ʿanhu ḥājizīna

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌۭ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٤٨﴾

And indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder for the righteous.

wa-innahu latadhkiratun lil'muttaqīna

وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٤٩﴾

And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.

wa-innā lanaʿlamu anna minkum mukadhibīna

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ﴿٥٠﴾

And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.

wa-innahu laḥasratun ʿalā l-kāfirīna

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ ﴿٥١﴾

And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.

wa-innahu laḥaqqu l-yaqīni

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٥٢﴾

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.

[It is] from Allāh, owner of the ways of ascent.

So be patient with gracious patience.

Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

But We see it [as] near.

And the mountains will be like wool,

They will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children.

A remover of exteriors.

It invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience]

And collected [wealth] and hoarded.

Indeed, mankind was created anxious:

When evil touches him, impatient,

For the petitioner and the deprived -

And those who believe in the Day of Recompense

wa-alladhīna hum min ʿadhābi rabbihim mush'fiqūna

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍۢ ﴿٢٨﴾

Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -

inna ʿadhāba rabbihim ghayru mamūnin

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ ﴿٢٩﴾

And those who guard their private parts
