That over which they are in disagreement.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَـٰدًۭا ﴿٦﴾

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًۭا ﴿٧﴾

And the mountains as stakes?

wal-jibāla awtādan

وَخَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا ﴿٨﴾

And We created you in pairs.

إِلَّا حَمِيمًۭا وَغَسَّاقًۭا ﴿٢٥﴾

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

جَزَآءًۭ وِفَاقًا ﴿٢٦﴾

An appropriate recompense.

[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 صَفًّۭا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًۭا ﴿٣٨﴾

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.

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!"

innā andharnākum ʿadhāban qarīban yawma yanẓuru l-maru mā qaddamat yadāhu wayaqūlu l-kāfiru yālaytanī kuntu turāban

وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرْقًۭا ﴿١﴾

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ﴿٦﴾

On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

yawma tarjufu l-rājifatu

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ﴿٧﴾

There will follow it the subsequent [one].

tatbaʿuhā l-rādifatu

قُلُوبٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاجِفَةٌ ﴿٨﴾

Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

qulūbun yawma-idhin wājifatun

أَبْصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌۭ ﴿٩﴾

Their eyes humbled.

abṣāruhā khāshiʿatun

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ ﴿١٠﴾

They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

yaqūlūna a-innā lamardūdūna fī l-ḥāfirati

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ ﴿١١﴾

Even if we should be decayed bones?"

a-idhā kunnā ʿiẓāman nakhiratan

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ ﴿١٢﴾

They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

qālū til'ka idhan karratun khāsiratun

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ ﴿١٣﴾

Indeed, it will be but one shout,

fa-innamā hiya zajratun wāḥidatun

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ﴿١٤﴾

And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

fa-idhā hum bil-sāhirati

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ﴿١٥﴾

Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

hal atāka ḥadīthu mūsā

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ﴿١٦﴾

When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwā,

idh nādāhu rabbuhu bil-wādi l-muqadasi ṭuwan

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ﴿١٧﴾

"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

idh'hab ilā fir'ʿawna innahu ṭaghā

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٨﴾

And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

faqul hal laka ilā an tazakkā

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ ﴿١٩﴾

And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"

wa-ahdiyaka ilā rabbika fatakhshā

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ﴿٢٠﴾

And he showed him the greatest sign,

fa-arāhu l-āyata l-kub'rā

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ﴿٢١﴾

But he [i.e., Pharaoh] denied and disobeyed.

fakadhaba waʿaṣā

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ﴿٢٢﴾

Then he turned his back, striving [i.e., plotting].

thumma adbara yasʿā

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ﴿٢٣﴾

And he gathered [his people] and called out.

faḥashara fanādā

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ﴿٢٤﴾

And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

faqāla anā rabbukumu l-aʿlā

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ﴿٢٥﴾

So Allāh seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression]..

fa-akhadhahu l-lahu nakāla l-ākhirati wal-ūlā

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ﴿٢٦﴾

Indeed in that is a lesson [i.e., warning] for whoever would fear [Allāh].

inna fī dhālika laʿib'ratan liman yakhshā

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا ﴿٢٧﴾

Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? He [i.e., Allāh] constructed it.

a-antum ashaddu khalqan ami l-samāu banāhā

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ﴿٢٨﴾

He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

rafaʿa samkahā fasawwāhā

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ﴿٢٩﴾

And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

wa-aghṭasha laylahā wa-akhraja ḍuḥāhā

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ﴿٣٠﴾

And after that He spread the earth.

wal-arḍa baʿda dhālika daḥāhā

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا ﴿٣١﴾

He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

akhraja min'hā māahā wamarʿāhā

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا ﴿٣٢﴾

And the mountains He set firmly

wal-jibāla arsāhā

مَتَـٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ ﴿٣٣﴾

As enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.

matāʿan lakum wali-anʿāmikum

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ﴿٣٤﴾

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

fa-idhā jāati l-ṭāmatu l-kub'rā

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ﴿٣٥﴾

The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

yawma yatadhakkaru l-insānu mā saʿā

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ﴿٣٦﴾

And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

waburrizati l-jaḥīmu liman yarā

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ﴿٣٧﴾

So as for he who transgressed

fa-ammā man ṭaghā

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ﴿٣٨﴾

And preferred the life of the world,

waāthara l-ḥayata l-dun'yā

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ﴿٣٩﴾

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

fa-inna l-jaḥīma hiya l-mawā

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ ﴿٤٠﴾

But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

wa-ammā man khāfa maqāma rabbihi wanahā l-nafsa ʿani l-hawā

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ﴿٤١﴾

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

fa-inna l-janata hiya l-mawā

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا ﴿٤٢﴾

They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?

yasalūnaka ʿani l-sāʿati ayyāna mur'sāhā

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ ﴿٤٣﴾

In what [position] are you that you should mention it?

fīma anta min dhik'rāhā

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ﴿٤٤﴾

To your Lord is its finality.

ilā rabbika muntahāhā

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا ﴿٤٥﴾

You are only a warner for those who fear it.

innamā anta mundhiru man yakhshāhā

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا ﴿٤٦﴾

It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.

ka-annahum yawma yarawnahā lam yalbathū illā ʿashiyyatan aw ḍuḥāhā

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ﴿١﴾

He [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ) ] frowned and turned away

ʿabasa watawallā

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ ﴿٢﴾

Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].

an jāahu l-aʿmā

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ﴿٣﴾

But what would make you perceive, [O Muḥammad], that perhaps he might be purified

wamā yud'rīka laʿallahu yazzakkā

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ ﴿٤﴾

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

aw yadhakkaru fatanfaʿahu l-dhik'rā

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ﴿٥﴾

As for he who thinks himself without need,

ammā mani is'taghnā

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ﴿٦﴾

To him you give attention.

fa-anta lahu taṣaddā

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ﴿٧﴾

And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.

wamā ʿalayka allā yazzakkā

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ﴿٨﴾

But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

wa-ammā man jāaka yasʿā

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

While he fears [Allāh],

wahuwa yakhshā

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ﴿١٠﴾

From him you are distracted.

fa-anta ʿanhu talahhā

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ﴿١١﴾

No! Indeed, they [i.e., these verses] are a reminder;

kallā innahā tadhkiratun

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ﴿١٢﴾

So whoever wills may remember it.

faman shāa dhakarahu

فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ ﴿١٣﴾

[It is recorded] in honored sheets,

fī ṣuḥufin mukarramatin

مَّرْفُوعَةٍۢ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ ﴿١٤﴾

Exalted and purified,

marfūʿatin muṭahharatin

بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍۢ ﴿١٥﴾

[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,

bi-aydī safaratin

كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍۢ ﴿١٦﴾

Noble and dutiful.

kirāmin bararatin

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ ﴿١٧﴾

Destroyed [i.e., cursed] is man; how disbelieving is he.

qutila l-insānu mā akfarahu

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ﴿١٨﴾

From what thing [i.e., substance] did He create him?

min ayyi shayin khalaqahu

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ﴿١٩﴾

From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;

min nuṭ'fatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ﴿٢٠﴾

Then He eased the way for him;

thumma l-sabīla yassarahu

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ ﴿٢١﴾

Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.

thumma amātahu fa-aqbarahu

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ ﴿٢٢﴾

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

thumma idhā shāa ansharahu

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ ﴿٢٣﴾

No! He [i.e., man] has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.

kallā lammā yaqḍi mā amarahu

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ ﴿٢٤﴾

Then let mankind look at his food -

falyanẓuri l-insānu ilā ṭaʿāmihi

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّۭا ﴿٢٥﴾

How We poured down water in torrents,

annā ṣababnā l-māa ṣabban

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّۭا ﴿٢٦﴾

Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],

thumma shaqaqnā l-arḍa shaqqan

فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّۭا ﴿٢٧﴾

And caused to grow within it grain

fa-anbatnā fīhā ḥabban

وَعِنَبًۭا وَقَضْبًۭا ﴿٢٨﴾

And grapes and herbage

waʿinaban waqaḍban

وَزَيْتُونًۭا وَنَخْلًۭا ﴿٢٩﴾

And olive and palm trees

wazaytūnan wanakhlan

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًۭا ﴿٣٠﴾

And gardens of dense shrubbery

waḥadāiqa ghul'ban

وَفَـٰكِهَةًۭ وَأَبًّۭا ﴿٣١﴾

And fruit and grass -

مَّتَـٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ ﴿٣٢﴾

[As] enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.

matāʿan lakum wali-anʿāmikum

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ ﴿٣٣﴾

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

fa-idhā jāati l-ṣākhatu

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ﴿٣٤﴾

On the Day a man will flee from his brother

yawma yafirru l-maru min akhīhi

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ ﴿٣٥﴾

And his mother and his father

wa-ummihi wa-abīhi

وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ ﴿٣٦﴾

And his wife and his children,

waṣāḥibatihi wabanīhi

لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ شَأْنٌۭ يُغْنِيهِ ﴿٣٧﴾

For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.

likulli im'ri-in min'hum yawma-idhin shanun yugh'nīhi

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ ﴿٣٨﴾

[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -

ضَاحِكَةٌۭ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ ﴿٣٩﴾

Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

ḍāḥikatun mus'tabshiratun

وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌۭ ﴿٤٠﴾

And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ﴿٤١﴾

Blackness will cover them.

tarhaquhā qataratun

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ ﴿٣٢﴾

And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."

wa-idhā ra-awhum qālū inna hāulāi laḍāllūna

وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَـٰفِظِينَ ﴿٣٣﴾

But they had not been sent as guardians over them.

فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ ﴿٣٤﴾

So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,

And when the earth has been extended

And has listened [i.e., responded] to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -

He will cry out for destruction

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

wayaṣlā saʿīran

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا ﴿١٣﴾

Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

innahu kāna fī ahlihi masrūran

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ ﴿١٤﴾

Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allāh].

innahu ẓanna an lan yaḥūra

بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًۭا ﴿١٥﴾

But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever, of him, Seeing.

So I swear by the twilight glow
