Juz 29

تَبَـٰرَكَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Tabaarakal laẓee bi-Yadihil MULK; wa-Huwa ʻalaa kulli shayʹiñ Q̣adeer:―

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

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَٱلْحَيَوٰةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفُورُ

ʹAllaẓee khalaq̣al Mawta wal-Ḥayaata liyabluwakum ʹayyukum ʹaḥsanu ʻamalaa; wa-Huwal ʻAzeezul G̣afoor;―

[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 -

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَٰتٍ طِبَاقًا ۖ مَّا تَرَىٰ فِى خَلْقِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مِن تَفَـٰوُتٍ ۖ فَٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَىٰ مِن فُطُورٍ

ʹAllaẓee khalaq̣a sabʻa samaawaatiñ ṭibaaq̣aa: maa- taraa fee Khalq̣ir Raḥmaani miñ tafaawut. Farjiʻil baṣara hal taraa miñ fuṭoor?

[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?

ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٌ

S̤ummar jiʻil baṣara karratayni yañq̣alib ʹilaykal baṣaru khaasiʹañw wahuwa ḥaseer.

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

وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِمَصَـٰبِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَـٰهَا رُجُومًا لِّلشَّيَـٰطِينِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلسَّعِيرِ

Wa-laq̣ad zayyannas samaaaʹad dunyaa bimaṣaabeeḥa wa-jaʻalnaahaa rujoomal lishshayaaṭeeni wa-ʹaʻtadnaa lahum ʻaẓaabas Saʻeer.

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.

وَلِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

Wa-lillaẓeena kafaroo bi-Rabbihim ʻAẓaabu Jahannam: wa-biʻsal maṣeer.

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

إِذَآ أُلْقُوا۟ فِيهَا سَمِعُوا۟ لَهَا شَهِيقًا وَهِىَ تَفُورُ

ʹIẓaaa ʹulq̣oo feehaa samiʻoo lahaa shaheeq̣añw wahiya tafoor,―

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

تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ ٱلْغَيْظِ ۖ كُلَّمَآ أُلْقِىَ فِيهَا فَوْجٌ سَأَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَآ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيرٌ

Takaadu tamayyazu minal g̣ayz̤̣: kullamaaa ʹulq̣iya feehaa fawjuñ saʹalahum khazanatuhaaa ʹalam yaʹtikum Naẓeer?

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?"

قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ قَدْ جَآءَنَا نَذِيرٌ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ كَبِيرٍ

Q̣aaloo balaa q̣ad jaaaʹanaa Naẓeer; fakaẓẓabnaa waq̣ulnaa maa- nazzalal laahu miñ shayʹ: ʹin ʹañtum ʹillaa fee ḍalaaliñ kabeer!

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.'"

وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِىٓ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ

Wa-q̣aaloo law kunnaa nasmaʻu ʹaw naʻq̣ilu maa- kunnaa feee ʹAṣḥaabis Saʻeer!

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

فَٱعْتَرَفُوا۟ بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسُحْقًا لِّأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ

Faʻtarafoo biẓambihim: fasuḥq̣al liʹAṣḥaabis Saʻeer!

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

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَيْبِ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ

ʹInnal laẓeena yakhshawna Rabbahum̃ bilg̣aybi lahum Mag̣firatuñw WaʹAjruñ kabeer.

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

وَأَسِرُّوا۟ قَوْلَكُمْ أَوِ ٱجْهَرُوا۟ بِهِۦٓ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

Wa-ʹasirroo q̣awlakum ʹawij haroo bih; ʹinnahoo ʻAleemum biẓaatiṣ ṣudoor.

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

أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ ٱللَّطِيفُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ

ʹAlaa yaʻlamu man khalaq̣? Wa-Huwal Laṭeeful Khabeer.

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

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ذَلُولًا فَٱمْشُوا۟ فِى مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوا۟ مِن رِّزْقِهِۦ ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ ٱلنُّشُورُ

Huwal laẓee jaʻala lakumul ʹarḍa ẓaloolañ famshoo fee manaakibihaa wa-kuloo mir rizq̣ih: wa-ʹilayhin Nushoor.

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.

ءَأَمِنتُم مَّن فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَمُورُ

ʹA-ʹamiñtum mañ fis Samaaaʹi ʹañy yakhsifa bikumul ʹarḍa faʹiẓaa hiya tamoor?

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

أَمْ أَمِنتُم مَّن فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ نَذِيرِ

ʹAm ʹamiñtum mañ fis Samaaaʹi ʹañy yursila ʻalaykum ḥaaṣibaa? Fasataʻlamoona kayfa naẓeer.

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.

وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ

Wa-laq̣ad kaẓẓabal laẓeena miñ q̣ablihim fakayfa kaana nakeer?

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

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صَـٰٓفَّـٰتٍ وَيَقْبِضْنَ ۚ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍۭ بَصِيرٌ

ʹAwalam yaraw ʹilaṭ ṭayri fawq̣ahum ṣaaaffaatiñw Wayaq̣biḍn? Maa- yum-siku-hunna ʹillar Raḥmaan: ʹinnahoo bikulli shayʹim Baṣeer.

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.

أَمَّنْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ جُندٌ لَّكُمْ يَنصُرُكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۚ إِنِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ إِلَّا فِى غُرُورٍ

ʹAmman haaẓal laẓee huwa juñdul lakum yañṣurukum miñ doonir Raḥmaan? ʹInil kaafiroona ʹillaa fee g̣uroor.

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.

أَمَّنْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى يَرْزُقُكُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهُۥ ۚ بَل لَّجُّوا۟ فِى عُتُوٍّ وَنُفُورٍ

ʹAmman haaẓal laẓee yarzuq̣ukum ʹin ʹamsaka Rizq̣ah? Bal lajjoo fee ʻutuwwiñw Wanufoor.

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

أَفَمَن يَمْشِى مُكِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِۦٓ أَهْدَىٰٓ أَمَّن يَمْشِى سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

ʹAfamañy yamshee mukibban ʻalaa wajhiheee ʹahdaaa ʹammañy yamshee sawiyyan ʻalaa Ṣiraaṭim Mustaq̣eem.

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

قُلْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۖ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ

Q̣ul Huwal laẓeee ʹañshaʹakum wa-jaʻala lakumus samʻa wal-ʹabṣaara wal-ʹafʹidah: q̣aleelam maa tashkuroon.

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

قُلْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِى ذَرَأَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

Q̣ul Huwal laẓee ẓaraʹakum fil ʹarḍi wa-ʹilayhi tuḥsharoon.

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

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Wa-yaq̣ooloona mataa haaẓal waʻdu ʹiñ kuñtum ṣaadiq̣een.

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

قُلْ إِنَّمَا ٱلْعِلْمُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

Q̣ul ʹinnamal ʻilmu ʻiñdal laah: wa-ʹinnamaaa ʹana Naẓeerum mubeen.

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

فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ زُلْفَةً سِيٓـَٔتْ وُجُوهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَقِيلَ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَدَّعُونَ

Falammaa raʹawhu zulfatañ seeeʹat wujoohul laẓeena kafaroo wa-q̣eela haaẓal laẓee kuñtum̃ bihee taddaʻoon!

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."

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَهْلَكَنِىَ ٱللَّهُ وَمَن مَّعِىَ أَوْ رَحِمَنَا فَمَن يُجِيرُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Q̣ul ʹaraʹaytum ʹin ʹahlakaniyal laahu wa-mam maʻiya ʹaw raḥimanaa famañy yujeerul kaafireena min ʻAẓaabin ʹaleem.

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?"

قُلْ هُوَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ وَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

Q̣ul Huwar Raḥmaanu ʹaamannaa bihee wa-ʻalayhi tawakkalnaa: fasataʻlamoona man huwa fee ḍalaalim mubeen.

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."

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَآؤُكُمْ غَوْرًا فَمَن يَأْتِيكُم بِمَآءٍ مَّعِينٍۭ

Q̣ul ʹaraʹaytum ʹin ʹaṣbaḥa maaaʹukum g̣awrañ famañy yaʹteekum̃ bimaaaʹim maʻeen?

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

نٓ ۚ وَٱلْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ

NOOON. WALQ̣ALAMI wa-maa yasṭuroon,―

Nūn. By the pen and what they inscribe,

مَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجْنُونٍ

Maaa ʹañta biniʻmati Rabbika bimajnoon.

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

وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجْرًا غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ

Wa-ʹinna laka laʹAjran g̣ayra mamnoon:

And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.

وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ

Wa-ʹinnaka laʻalaa khuluq̣in ʻaz̤̣eem.

And indeed, you are of a great moral character.

فَسَتُبْصِرُ وَيُبْصِرُونَ

Fasatubṣiru wa-yubṣiroon,

So you will see and they will see

بِأَييِّكُمُ ٱلْمَفْتُونُ

Biʹayyikumul maftoon.

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

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ

ʹInna Rabbaka Huwa ʹaʻlamu bimañ ḍalla ʻañ Sabeelih: wa-Huwa ʹAʻlamu bil-Muhtadeen.

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

فَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Falaa tuṭiʻil mukaẓẓibeen.

Then do not obey the deniers.

وَدُّوا۟ لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ

Waddoo law tudhinu fayudhinoon.

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

وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَّهِينٍ

Wa-laa tuṭiʻ kulla ḥallaafim maheen,

And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer

هَمَّازٍ مَّشَّآءٍۭ بِنَمِيمٍ

Hammaazim mashshaaaʹim binameem,

[And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -

مَّنَّاعٍ لِّلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ

Mannaaʻil lilkhayri muʻtadin ʹas̤eem,

A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,

عُتُلٍّۭ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ زَنِيمٍ

ʻUtullim baʻda ẓaalika zaneem,―

Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.

أَن كَانَ ذَا مَالٍ وَبَنِينَ

ʹAñ kaana ẓaa maaliñwwa baneen.

Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,

إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَـٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

ʹIẓaa tutlaa ʻalayhi ʹAayaatunaa q̣aala ʹAsaaṭeerul ʹAwwaleen!

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

سَنَسِمُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلْخُرْطُومِ

Sanasimuhoo ʻalal khurṭoom!

We will brand him upon the snout.

إِنَّا بَلَوْنَـٰهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ إِذْ أَقْسَمُوا۟ لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ

ʹInnaa balawnaahum kamaa balawnaaa ʹAṣḥaabal Jannah, ʹiẓ ʹaq̣samoo layaṣrimunnahaa muṣbiḥeen,

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

وَلَا يَسْتَثْنُونَ

Wa-laa yastas̤noon.

Without making exception.

فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا طَآئِفٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمْ نَآئِمُونَ

Faṭaafa ʻalayhaa ṭaaaʹifum mir Rabbika wa-hum naaaʹimoon.

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

فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَٱلصَّرِيمِ

Faʹaṣbaḥat kaṣṣareem.

And it became as though reaped.

فَتَنَادَوْا۟ مُصْبِحِينَ

Fatanaadaw muṣbiḥeen,

And they called one another at morning,

أَنِ ٱغْدُوا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرْثِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰرِمِينَ

ʹAnig̣ doo ʻalaa ḥars̤ikum ʹiñ kuñtum ṣaarimeen.

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

فَٱنطَلَقُوا۟ وَهُمْ يَتَخَـٰفَتُونَ

Fañṭalaq̣oo wa-hum yatakhaafatoon―

So they set out, while lowering their voices,

أَن لَّا يَدْخُلَنَّهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُم مِّسْكِينٌ

ʹAl laa yadkhulannahal yawma ʻalaykum miskeen.

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

وَغَدَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرْدٍ قَـٰدِرِينَ

Wa-g̣adaw ʻalaa ḥardiñ q̣aadireen.

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

فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهَا قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ

Falammaa raʹawhaa q̣aalooo ʹinnaa laḍaaalloon:

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

بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ

Bal naḥnu maḥroomoon!

Rather, we have been deprived."

قَالَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ

Q̣aala ʹawsaṭuhum ʹalam ʹaq̣ul lakum law-laa tusabbiḥoon?

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

قَالُوا۟ سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ

Q̣aaloo Subḥaana Rabbinaaa ʹinnaa kunnaa z̤̣aalimeen!

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

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَلَـٰوَمُونَ

Faʹaq̣bala baʻḍuhum ʻalaa baʻḍiñy yatalaawamoon.

Then they approached one another, blaming each other.

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَـٰغِينَ

Q̣aaloo yaa-waylanaaa ʹinnaa kunnaa ṭaag̣een!

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

عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَٰغِبُونَ

ʻAsaa Rabbunaaa ʹañy yubdilanaa khayram minhaaa ʹinnaaa ʹilaa Rabbinaa raag̣iboon!

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

كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ

Kaẓaalikal ʻAẓaab; wa-laʻAẓaabul ʹAakhirati ʹakbar. Law kaanoo yaʻlamoon!

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

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

ʹInna lil-Muttaq̣eena ʻiñda Rabbihim Jannatin Naʻeem.

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

أَفَنَجْعَلُ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ كَٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

ʹAfanajʻalul Muslimeena kalmujrimeen?

Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ

Maa- lakum? kayfa taḥkumoon?

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

أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَـٰبٌ فِيهِ تَدْرُسُونَ

ʹAm lakum Kitaabuñ feehi tadrusoon―

Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ

ʹInna lakum feehi lamaa takhayyaroon?

That indeed for you is whatever you choose?

أَمْ لَكُمْ أَيْمَـٰنٌ عَلَيْنَا بَـٰلِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۙ إِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَ

ʹAm lakum ʹAymaanun ʻalaynaa baalig̣atun ʹilaa Yawmil Q̣iyaamati ʹinna lakum lamaa taḥkumoon?

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

سَلْهُمْ أَيُّهُم بِذَٰلِكَ زَعِيمٌ

Salhum ʹayyuhum̃ biẓaalika zaʻeem!

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

أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَآءُ فَلْيَأْتُوا۟ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمْ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَـٰدِقِينَ

ʹAm lahum shurakaaaʹu fal-yaʹtoo bishurakaaaʹihim ʹiñ kaanoo ṣaadiq̣een!

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

يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَن سَاقٍ وَيُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ

Yawma yukshafu ʻañ saaq̣iñw wayudʻawna ʹilas sujoodi falaa yastaṭeeʻoon,―

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

خَـٰشِعَةً أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۖ وَقَدْ كَانُوا۟ يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ وَهُمْ سَـٰلِمُونَ

Khaashiʻatan ʹabṣaaruhum tarhaq̣uhum ẓillah: wa-q̣ad kaanoo yudʻawna ʹilas sujoodi wa-hum saalimoon.

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

فَذَرْنِى وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ ۖ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Faẓarnee wa-mañy yukaẓẓibu bihaaẓal Ḥadees̤: sanastadrijuhum min ḥays̤u laa- yaʻlamoon.

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.

وَأُمْلِى لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ كَيْدِى مَتِينٌ

Wa-ʹumlee lahum: ʹinna kaydee mateen.

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

أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍ مُّثْقَلُونَ

ʹAm tasʹaluhum ʹajrañ fahum mim mag̣ramim mus̤q̣aloon?

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

أَمْ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ

ʹAm ʻiñdahumul G̣aybu fahum yaktuboon?

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

فَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ ٱلْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌ

Faṣbir li-Ḥukmi Rabbika wa-laa takuñ ka-Ṣaaḥibil Ḥoot. ʹIẓ naadaa wa-huwa makz̤̣oom.

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.

لَّوْلَآ أَن تَدَٰرَكَهُۥ نِعْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ لَنُبِذَ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌ

Law-laaa ʹañ tadaarakahoo Niʻmatum mir Rabbihee lanubiẓa bilʻaraaaʹi wa-huwa maẓmoom.

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.

فَٱجْتَبَـٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَجَعَلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

Fajtabaahu Rabbuhoo fajaʻalahoo minaṣ Ṣaaliḥeen.

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

وَإِن يَكَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَـٰرِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا۟ ٱلذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجْنُونٌ

Wa-ʹiñy yakaadul laẓeena kafaroo layuzliq̣oonaka biʹabṣaarihim lammaa samiʻuẓ Ẓikra wa-yaq̣ooloona ʹinnahoo lamajnoon!

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."

وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Wa-maa huwa ʹillaa Ẓikrul lilʻAalameen.

But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.

ٱلْحَآقَّةُ

ʹALḤAAAQ̣Q̣ATU!

The Inevitable Reality -

مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ

Mal Ḥaaaq̣q̣ah?

What is the Inevitable Reality?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ

Wa-maaa ʹadraaka mal Ḥaaaq̣q̣ah?

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

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌۢ بِٱلْقَارِعَةِ

Kaẓẓabat S̤amoodu wa-ʻAadum bil-Q̣aariʻah!

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

فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ

Faʹammaa S̤amoodu faʹuhlikoo biṭ-Ṭaag̣iyah!

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

وَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِرِيحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍ

Wa-ʹammaa ʻAaduñ faʹuhlikoo bi-Reeḥiñ ṣarṣarin ʻaatiyah;

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

سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَـٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا فَتَرَى ٱلْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ

Sakhkharahaa ʻalayhim sabʻa layaaliñw was̤amaaniyata ʹayyaamin ḥusoomañ fataral q̣awma feehaa ṣarʻaa kaʹannahum ʹaʻjaazu nakhlin khaawiyah!

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.

فَهَلْ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٍ

Fahal taraa lahum mim baaq̣iyah?

Then do you see of them any remains?

وَجَآءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَـٰتُ بِٱلْخَاطِئَةِ

Wa-jaaaʹa Firʻawnu wa-mañ q̣ablahoo wal-muʹtafikaatu bil-khaaṭiʹah,

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

فَعَصَوْا۟ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةً رَّابِيَةً

Faʻaṣaw rasoola Rabbihim faʹakhaẓahum ʹakhẓatar raabiyah.

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

ʹInnaa lammaa ṭag̣al maaaʹu ḥamalnaakum fil jaariyah.

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

لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٌ وَٰعِيَةٌ

Linajʻalahaa lakum Taẓkiratañwwa taʻiyahaaa ʹuẓunuñw waaʻiyah.

That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it.

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ

Faʹiẓaa nufikha fiṣ Ṣoori nafkhatuñw waaḥidah,

Then when the Horn is blown with one blast

وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَٰحِدَةً

Wa-ḥumilatil ʹarḍu wal-jibaalu fadukkataa dakkatañw waaḥidah,―

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

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ

Fayawmaʹiẓiñw Waq̣aʻatil Waaq̣iʻah,

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

وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاهِيَةٌ

Wañshaq̣q̣atis samaaaʹu fahiya Yawmaʹiẓiñw waahiyah,

And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.

وَٱلْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرْجَآئِهَا ۚ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَـٰنِيَةٌ

Wal-malaku ʻalaaa ʹarjaaaʹihaa, wa-yaḥmilu ʻArsha Rabbika fawq̣ahum Yawmaʹiẓiñ s̤amaaniyah.

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

يَوْمَئِذٍ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ

Yawmaʹiẓiñ tuʻraḍoona laa- takhfaa miñ-kum khaafiyah.

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

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُوا۟ كِتَـٰبِيَهْ

Faʹammaa man ʹootiya Kitaabahoo biyameenihee fayaq̣oolu haaaʹumuq̣ raʹoo Kitaabiyah!

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

إِنِّى ظَنَنتُ أَنِّى مُلَـٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ

ʹInnee z̤̣anañtu ʹannee mulaaq̣in Ḥisaabiyah!

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

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ

Fahuwa fee ʻeeshatir raaḍiyah,

So he will be in a pleasant life -

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ

Fee Jannatin ʻaaliyah,

In an elevated garden,

قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ

Q̣utoofuhaa daaniyah.

Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَآ أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْخَالِيَةِ

Kuloo washraboo haneeeʹam bimaaa ʹaslaftum fil ʹayyaamil khaaliyah!

[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past."

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى لَمْ أُوتَ كِتَـٰبِيَهْ

Wa-ʹammaa man ʹootiya Kitaabahoo bishimaalihee fayaq̣oolu yaalaytanee lam ʹoota Kitaabiyah!

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

وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ

Wa-lam ʹadri maa- ḥisaabiyah!

And had not known what is my account.

يَـٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْقَاضِيَةَ

Yaa-laytahaa kaanatil q̣aaḍiyah!

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

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنِّى مَالِيَهْ ۜ

Maaa ʹag̣naa ʻannee maaliyah!

My wealth has not availed me.

هَلَكَ عَنِّى سُلْطَـٰنِيَهْ

Halaka ʻannee sulṭaaniyah!

Gone from me is my authority."

خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ

Khuẓoohu fag̣ullooh,

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

ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ

S̤ummal Jaḥeema ṣallooh,

Then into Hellfire drive him.

ثُمَّ فِى سِلْسِلَةٍ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا فَٱسْلُكُوهُ

S̤umma fee silsilatiñ ẓarʻuhaa sabʻoona ẓiraaʻañ faslukooh!

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

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

ʹInnahoo kaana laa- yuʹminu billaahil ʻAz̤̣eem,

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

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ

Wa-laa yaḥuḍḍu ʻalaa ṭaʻaamil miskeen!

Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.

فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَـٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌ

Falaysa lahul Yawma haahunaa ḥameem,

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

وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍ

Wa-laa ṭaʻaamun ʹillaa min g̣isleen,

Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;

لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَـٰطِـُٔونَ

Laa- yaʹkuluhooo ʹillal khaaṭiʹoon.

None will eat it except the sinners.

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ

Falaaa ʹuq̣simu bimaa tubṣiroon

So I swear by what you see

وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ

Wamaa laa- tubṣiroon,―

And what you do not see

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ

ʹInnahoo laq̣awlu Rasooliñ Kareem;

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

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ

Wa-maa huwa biq̣awli shaaʻir: q̣aleelam maa tuʹminoon!

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

وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Wa-laa biq̣awli kaahin: q̣aleelam maa taẓakkaroon.

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

تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Tañzeelum mir Rabbil ʻAalameen.

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

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ

Wa-law taq̣awwala ʻalaynaa baʻḍal ʹaq̣aaweel,

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

لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ

Laʹakhaẓnaa minhu bilyameen,

We would have seized him by the right hand;

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ

S̤umma laq̣aṭaʻnaa minhul wateen:

Then We would have cut from him the aorta.

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَـٰجِزِينَ

Famaa miñkum min ʹaḥadin ʻanhu ḥaajizeen.

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

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

Wa-ʹinnahoo la-Taẓkiratul lil-Muttaq̣een.

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

وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ

Wa-ʹinnaa lanaʻlamu ʹanna miñkum mukaẓẓibeen.

And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

Wa-ʹinnahoo laḥasratun ʻalal kaafireen.

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

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ

Wa-ʹinnahoo la-Ḥaq̣q̣ul yaq̣een.

And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

Fasabbiḥ bismi Rabbikal ʻAz̤̣eem.

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

سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ

Saʹala saaʹilum biʻAẓaabiñw waaq̣iʻ―

A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen

لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌ

Lil-kaafireena laysa lahoo daafiʻ,―

To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.

مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ

Minal laahi Ẓil MAʻAARIJ.

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

تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ

Taʻrujul malaaaʹikatu war-Rooḥu ʹilayhi fee Yawmiñ kaana miq̣daaruhoo khamseena ʹalfa sanah:

The angels and the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.

فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا

Faṣbir Ṣabrañ jameelaa.

So be patient with gracious patience.

إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًا

ʹInnahum yarawnahoo baʻeedaa:

Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًا

Wa-naraahu q̣areebaa.

But We see it [as] near.

يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ

Yawma takoonus samaaaʹu kalmuhl,

On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ

Wa-takoonul jibaalu kalʻihn,

And the mountains will be like wool,

وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا

Wa-laa yasʹalu ḥameemun ḥameemaa,

And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,

يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ

Yubaṣṣaroonahum,: yawaddul mujrimu law yaftadee min ʻAẓaabi Yawmiʹiẓim bibaneeh,

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

وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ

Wa-ṣaaḥibatihee wa-ʹakheeh,

And his wife and his brother

وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِى تُـْٔوِيهِ

Wa-faṣeelatihil latee tuʹweeh,

And his nearest kindred who shelter him

وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ

Wa-mañ fil ʹarḍi jameeʻañ s̤umma yuñjeeh:

And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him.

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ

Kallaa! ʹinnahaa laz̤̣aa!

No! Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell],

نَزَّاعَةً لِّلشَّوَىٰ

Nazzaaʻatal lishshawaa!

A remover of exteriors.

تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

Tadʻoo man ʹadbara wa-tawallaa,

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

وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ

Wa-jamaʻa faʹawʻaa!

And collected [wealth] and hoarded.

۞ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا

ʹInnal ʹiñsaana khuliq̣a halooʻaa;―

Indeed, mankind was created anxious:

إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا

ʹIẓaa massahush sharru jazooʻaa;

When evil touches him, impatient,

وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا

Wa-ʹiẓaa massahul khayru manooʻaa;―

And when good touches him, withholding [of it],

إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ

ʹIllal Muṣalleen;―

Except the observers of prayer -

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ

ʹAllaẓeena hum ʻalaa Ṣalaatihim daaaʹimoon;

Those who are constant in their prayer

وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ

Wallaẓeena feee ʹamwaalihim ḥaq̣q̣um maʻloom

And those within whose wealth is a known right

لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ

Lissaaaʹili walmaḥroom;

For the petitioner and the deprived -

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

Wallaẓeena yuṣaddiq̣oona bi-Yawmid Deen;

And those who believe in the Day of Recompense

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ

Wallaẓeena hum min ʻazaabi Rabbihim mushfiq̣oon,―

And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ

ʹInna ʻaẓaaba Rabbihim g̣ayru maʹ-moon;―

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

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ

Wallaẓeena hum lifuroojihim ḥaafiz̤̣oon,

And those who guard their private parts

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ

ʹIllaa ʻalaaa ʹazwaajihim ʹaw maa- malakat ʹaymaanuhum faʹinnahum g̣ayru maloomeen,

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed -

فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ

Famanib tag̣aa waraaaʹa ẓaalika faʹulaaaʹika humul ʻaadoon;―

But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ

Wallaẓeena hum liʹamaanaatihim wa-ʻahdihim raaʻoon.

And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَـٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ

Wallaẓeena hum̃ bishahaadaatihim q̣aaaʹimoon;

And those who are in their testimonies upright

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ

Wallaẓeena hum ʻalaa Ṣalaatihim yuḥaafiz̤̣oon;―

And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ

ʹUlaaaʹika fee Jannaatim mukramoon.

They will be in gardens, honored.

فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ

Famaa lil-laẓeena kafaroo q̣ibalaka muhṭiʻeen―

So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muḥammad],

عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ

ʻAnil yameeni wa-ʻanish shimaali ʻizeen?

[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?

أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ

ʹAyaṭmaʻu kullum riʹim minhum ʹañy yudkhala Jannata Naʻeem?

Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ

Kallaa! ʹInnaa khalaq̣naahum mimmaa yaʻlamoon!

No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَـٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَـٰدِرُونَ

Falaaa ʹuq̣simu bi-Rabbil Mashaariq̣i wal-Mag̣aaribi ʹinnaa la-Q̣aadiroon.

So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ

ʻAlaaa ʹan nubaddila khayram minhum wa-maa Naḥnu bimasbooq̣een.

To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.

فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَـٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ

Faẓarhum yakhooḍoo wa-yalʻaboo ḥattaa yulaaq̣oo Yawmahumul laẓee yooʻadoon!

So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -

يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ

Yawma yakhrujoona minal ʹajdaas̤i siraaʻañ kaʹannahum ʹilaa nuṣubiñy yoofiḍoon,―

The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.

خَـٰشِعَةً أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ

Khaashiʻatan ʹabṣaaruhum tarhaq̣uhum ẓillah! Ẓaalikal Yawmul laẓee kaanoo yooʻadoon!

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

ʹInnaaa ʹarsalnaa Nooḥan ʹilaa Q̣awmiheee ʹan ʹañẓir Q̣awmaka miñ q̣abli ʹañy yaʹtiyahum ʻAẓaabun ʹaleem,

Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."

قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

Q̣aala yaa-Q̣awmi ʹinnee lakum Naẓeerum mubeen:

He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner -

أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ

ʹAniʻ budul laaha wattaq̣oohu wa-ʹaṭeeʻoon:

To worship Allāh, fear Him and obey me.

يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ ۖ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

Yag̣fir lakum miñ ẓunoobikum wa-yuʹakhkhirukum ʹilaaa ʹAjalim Musammaa: ʹinna ʹAjalal laahi ʹiẓaa jaaaʹa laa- yuʹakhkhar, Law kuñtum taʻlamoon.

He [i.e., Allāh] will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allāh, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew."

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِى لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا

Q̣aala Rabbi ʹinnee daʻawtu Q̣awmee laylañw wanahaaraa:

He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.

فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَآءِىٓ إِلَّا فِرَارًا

Falam yazidhum duʻaaaʹeee ʹillaa firaaraa.

But my invitation increased them not except in flight [i.e., aversion].

وَإِنِّى كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوٓا۟ أَصَـٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَٱسْتَغْشَوْا۟ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا۟ وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ ٱسْتِكْبَارًا

Wa-ʹinnee kullamaa daʻawtuhum litag̣fira lahum jaʻalooo ʹaṣaabiʻahum feee ʹaaẓaanihim wastag̣shaw s̤iyaabahum wa-ʹaṣarroo wastakbarus tikbaaraa,

And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.

ثُمَّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا

S̤umma ʹinnee daʻawtuhum jihaaraa;

Then I invited them publicly.

ثُمَّ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا

S̤umma ʹinneee ʹaʻlañtu lahum wa-ʹasrartu lahum ʹisraaraa,

Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly

فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًا

Faq̣ultus tag̣firoo Rabbakum; ʹinnahoo kaana G̣affaaraa;

And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.

يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا

Yursilis samaaaʹa ʻalaykum midraaraa;

He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers

وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَـٰرًا

Wa-yumdidkum̃ biʹamwaaliñw wabaneena wa-yajʻal lakum Jannaatiñw Wa yajʻal lakum ʹanhaaraa.

And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.

مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا

Maa- lakum laa- tarjoona lillaahi wa-q̣aaraa,―

What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allāh [due] grandeur

وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا

Wa-q̣ad khalaq̣akum ʹaṭwaaraa?

While He has created you in stages?

أَلَمْ تَرَوْا۟ كَيْفَ خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَٰتٍ طِبَاقًا

ʹAlam taraw kayfa khalaq̣al laahu sabʻa samaawaatiñ ṭibaaq̣aa,

Do you not consider how Allāh has created seven heavens in layers

وَجَعَلَ ٱلْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا

Wa-jaʻalal q̣amara feehinna noorañw wajaʻalash shamsa Siraajaa?

And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?

وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا

Wallaahu ʹambatakum minal ʹarḍi nabaataa,

And Allāh has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.

ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا

S̤umma yuʻeedukum feehaa wa-yukhrijukum ʹikhraajaa?

Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction.

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًا

Wallaahu jaʻala lakumul ʹarḍa bisaaṭaa,

And Allāh has made for you the earth an expanse

لِّتَسْلُكُوا۟ مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا

Litaslukoo minhaa subulañ fijaajaa.

That you may follow therein roads of passage.'"

قَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِى وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥٓ إِلَّا خَسَارًا

Q̣aala Nooḥur Rabbi ʹinnahum ʻaṣawnee wattabaʻoo mal lam yazidhu maaluhoo wa-waladuhooo ʹillaa khasaaraa.

Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.

وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرًا كُبَّارًا

Wa-makaroo Makrañ kubbaaraa.

And they conspired an immense conspiracy

وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا

Waq̣aaloo laa- taẓarunna ʹaalihatakum wa-laa taẓarunna Waddañw Walaa Suwaaʻaa, wa-laa Yag̣oos̤a wa-Yaʻooq̣a wa-Nasraa;―

And said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwāʿ or Yaghūth and Yaʿūq and Nasr.'

وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا۟ كَثِيرًا ۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَـٰلًا

Wa-q̣ad ʹaḍalloo kas̤eeraa; wa-laa tazidiz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeena ʹillaa ḍalaalaa.

And already they have misled many. And, [my Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."

مِّمَّا خَطِيٓـَٔـٰتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا۟ فَأُدْخِلُوا۟ نَارًا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا۟ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَنصَارًا

Mimmaa khaṭeeeʹaatihim ʹug̣riq̣oo faʹudkhiloo Naaraa: falam yajidoo lahum miñ doonil laahi ʹañṣaaraa.

Because of their sins they were drowned and put into the Fire, and they found not for themselves besides Allāh [any] helpers.

وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ دَيَّارًا

Wa-q̣aala Nooḥur Rabbi laa- taẓar ʻalal ʹarḍi minal kaafireena dayyaaraa!

And Noah said, "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an inhabitant.

إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا۟ عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا

ʹInnaka ʹiñ taẓarhum yuḍilloo ʻibaadaka wa-laa yalidooo ʹillaa faajirañ kaffaaraa.

Indeed, if You leave them, they will mislead Your servants and not beget except [every] wicked one and [confirmed] disbeliever.

رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَىَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِىَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًۢا

Rabbig̣ fir lee wa-li-waalidayya wa-limañ dakhala baytiya Muʹminañw Walil-Muʹmineena wal-Muʹminaat: wa-laa tazidiz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeena ʹillaa tabaaraa!

My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."

قُلْ أُوحِىَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّهُ ٱسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْءَانًا عَجَبًا

Q̣ul ʹooḥiya ʹilayya ʹanna hustamaʻa nafarum minal Jinni faq̣aalooo ʹinnaa samiʻnaa Q̣urʹaanan ʻajabaa,

Say, [O Muḥammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur’ān [i.e., recitation].

يَهْدِىٓ إِلَى ٱلرُّشْدِ فَـَٔامَنَّا بِهِۦ ۖ وَلَن نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَآ أَحَدًا

Yahdeee ʹilar Rushdi faʹaamannaa bih: wa-lan nushrika bi-Rabbinaaa ʹaḥadaa.

It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.

وَأَنَّهُۥ تَعَـٰلَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا ٱتَّخَذَ صَـٰحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا

Wa-ʹannahoo Taʻaalaa Jaddu Rabbinaa mat takhaẓa ṣaaḥibatañw walaa waladaa.

And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son

وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ شَطَطًا

Wa-ʹannahoo kaana yaq̣oolu safeehunaa ʻal allaahi shaṭaṭaa;

And that our foolish one [i.e., Iblees] has been saying about Allāh an excessive transgression.

وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن تَقُولَ ٱلْإِنسُ وَٱلْجِنُّ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا

Wa-ʹannaa z̤̣anannaaa ʹal lañ taq̣oolal ʹiñsu wal-jinnu ʻal allaahi kaẓibaa.

And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allāh a lie.

وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ ٱلْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا

Wa-ʹannahoo kaana rijaalum minal ʹiñsi yaʻooẓoona birijaalim minal Jinni fazaadoohum rahaq̣aa.

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden [i.e., sin].

وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا۟ كَمَا ظَنَنتُمْ أَن لَّن يَبْعَثَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدًا

Wa-ʹannahum z̤̣annoo kamaa z̤̣anañtum ʹal lañy yabʻas̤al laahu ʹaḥadaa.

And they had thought, as you thought, that Allāh would never send anyone [as a messenger].

وَأَنَّا لَمَسْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ فَوَجَدْنَـٰهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِيدًا وَشُهُبًا

Wa-ʹannaa lamasnas samaaaʹa fawajadnaahaa muliʹat ḥarasañ shadeedañw washuhubaa.

And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames.

وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَـٰعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ ۖ فَمَن يَسْتَمِعِ ٱلْـَٔانَ يَجِدْ لَهُۥ شِهَابًا رَّصَدًا

Wa-ʹannaa kunnaa naq̣ʻudu minhaa maq̣aaʻida lissamʻ; famañy yastamiʻil ʹaana yajid lahoo shihaabar raṣadaa.

And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.

وَأَنَّا لَا نَدْرِىٓ أَشَرٌّ أُرِيدَ بِمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمْ أَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا

Waʹannaa laa- nadreee ʹasharrun ʹureeda bimañ fil ʹarḍi ʹam ʹaraada bihim Rabbuhum rashadaa.

And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course.

وَأَنَّا مِنَّا ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ كُنَّا طَرَآئِقَ قِدَدًا

Wa-ʹannaa minnaṣ ṣaaliḥoona wa-minnaa doona ẓaalik: kunnaa ṭaraaaʹiq̣a q̣idadaa.

And among us are the righteous, and among us are [others] not so; we were [of] divided ways.

وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن نُّعْجِزَ ٱللَّهَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَن نُّعْجِزَهُۥ هَرَبًا

Wa-ʹannaa z̤̣anannaaa ʹal lan nuʻjizal laaha fil ʹarḍi wa-lan nuʻjizahoo harabaa.

And we have become certain that we will never cause failure to Allāh upon earth, nor can we escape Him by flight.

وَأَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ ۖ فَمَن يُؤْمِنۢ بِرَبِّهِۦ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَلَا رَهَقًا

Wa-ʹannaa lammaa samiʻnal Hudaaa ʹaamannaa bih. Famañy yuʹmim bi-Rabbihee falaa yakhaafu bakhsañw walaa rahaq̣aa.

And when we heard the guidance [i.e., the Qur’ān], we believed in it. And whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden.

وَأَنَّا مِنَّا ٱلْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا ٱلْقَـٰسِطُونَ ۖ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ تَحَرَّوْا۟ رَشَدًا

Wa-ʹannaa minnal Muslimoona wa-minnal Q̣aasiṭoon. Faman ʹaslama faʹulaaaʹika taḥarraw rashadaa.

And among us are Muslims [in submission to Allāh], and among us are the unjust. And whoever has become Muslim - those have sought out the right course.

وَأَمَّا ٱلْقَـٰسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا۟ لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا

Wa-ʹammal Q̣aasiṭoona fakaanoo li-Jahannama ḥaṭabaa―

But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.'

وَأَلَّوِ ٱسْتَقَـٰمُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَـٰهُم مَّآءً غَدَقًا

Wa-ʹalla-wis taq̣aamoo ʻalaṭ Ṭareeq̣ati laʹasq̣aynaahum maaaʹan g̣adaq̣aa.

And [Allāh revealed] that if they had remained straight on the way, We would have given them abundant rain [i.e., provision]

لِّنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَن يُعْرِضْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِۦ يَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا

Linaftinahum feeh. Wa-mañy yuʻriḍ ʻañ Ẓikri Rabbihee yaslukhu ʻAẓaabañ ṣaʻadaa.

So We might test them therein. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord He will put into arduous punishment.

وَأَنَّ ٱلْمَسَـٰجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدًا

Wa-ʹannal Masaajida lil-laahi falaa tadʻoo maʻal laahi ʹaḥadaa;

And [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allāh, so do not invoke with Allāh anyone.

وَأَنَّهُۥ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ ٱللَّهِ يَدْعُوهُ كَادُوا۟ يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا

Wa-ʹannahoo lammaa q̣aama ʻAbdul laahi yadʻoohu kaadoo yakoonoona ʻalayhi libadaa.

And that when the Servant [i.e., Prophet] of Allāh stood up supplicating Him, they almost became about him a compacted mass."

قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَدْعُوا۟ رَبِّى وَلَآ أُشْرِكُ بِهِۦٓ أَحَدًا

Q̣ul ʹinnamaaa ʹadʻoo Rabbee wa-laaa ʹushriku biheee ʹaḥadaa.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone."

قُلْ إِنِّى لَآ أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا رَشَدًا

Q̣ul ʹinnee laaa ʹamliku lakum ḍarrañw walaa rashadaa.

Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction."

قُلْ إِنِّى لَن يُجِيرَنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَنْ أَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مُلْتَحَدًا

Q̣ul ʹinnee lañy yujeeranee minal laahi ʹaḥad, wa-lan ʹajida miñ doonihee multaḥadaa,

Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allāh anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge.

إِلَّا بَلَـٰغًا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِسَـٰلَـٰتِهِۦ ۚ وَمَن يَعْصِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا

ʹIllaa balaag̣am minal laahi wa-Risaalaatih: wa-mañy yaʻṣil laaha wa-Rasoolahoo faʹinna lahoo Naara Jahannama khaalideena feehaaa ʹabadaa.

But [I have for you] only notification from Allāh, and His messages." And whoever disobeys Allāh and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever.

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوْا۟ مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا

Ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa raʹaw maa- yooʻadoona fasayaʻlamoona man ʹaḍʻafu naaṣirañw waʹaq̣allu ʻadadaa.

[The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number.

قُلْ إِنْ أَدْرِىٓ أَقَرِيبٌ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ أَمْ يَجْعَلُ لَهُۥ رَبِّىٓ أَمَدًا

Q̣ul ʹin ʹadreee ʹa-q̣areebum maa tooʻadoona ʹam yajʻalu lahoo Rabbeee ʹamadaa.

Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period."

عَـٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِۦٓ أَحَدًا

ʻAalimul G̣aybi falaa yuz̤̣hiru ʻalaa G̣aybiheee ʹaḥadaa,

[He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone

إِلَّا مَنِ ٱرْتَضَىٰ مِن رَّسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَسْلُكُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِۦ رَصَدًا

ʹIllaa manir taḍaa mir rasooliñ faʹinnahoo yasluku mim bayni yadayhi wa-min khalfihee raṣadaa,

Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before him [i.e., each messenger] and behind him observers

لِّيَعْلَمَ أَن قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا۟ رِسَـٰلَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَىٰ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عَدَدًۢا

Liyaʻlama ʹañ q̣ad ʹablag̣oo Risaalaati Rabbihim wa-ʹaḥaaṭa bimaa ladayhim wa-ʹaḥṣaa kulla shayʹin ʻadadaa.

That he [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُزَّمِّلُ

Yaaaʹayyuhal MUZZAMMIL!

O you who wraps himself [in clothing],

قُمِ ٱلَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

Q̣umil layla ʹillaa q̣aleelaa,―

Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little -

نِّصْفَهُۥٓ أَوِ ٱنقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا

Niṣfahooo ʹawiñ Q̣uṣ minhu q̣aleelaa,

Half of it - or subtract from it a little

أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلًا

ʹAw zid ʻalayhi wa-rattilil Q̣urʹaana tarteelaa.

Or add to it, and recite the Qur’ān with measured recitation.

إِنَّا سَنُلْقِى عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا

ʹInnaa sanulq̣ee ʻalayka Q̣awlañ s̤aq̣eelaa.

Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word.

إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّيْلِ هِىَ أَشَدُّ وَطْـًٔا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا

ʹInna naashiʹatal layli hiya ʹashaddu waṭ-ʹañw waʹaq̣wamu Q̣eelaa.

Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words.

إِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبْحًا طَوِيلًا

ʹInna laka fin nahaari sabḥañ ṭaweelaa.

Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation.

وَٱذْكُرِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًا

Waẓkuris ma Rabbika wa-tabattal ʹilayhi tabteelaa.

And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion.

رَّبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًا

Rabbul Mashriq̣i wal-Mag̣ribi Laaa ʹilaaha ʹillaa Huwa fattakhiẓhu Wakeelaa.

[He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs.

وَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًا جَمِيلًا

Waṣbir ʻalaa maa- yaq̣ooloona wahjurhum hajrañ jameelaa.

And be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance.

وَذَرْنِى وَٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُو۟لِى ٱلنَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلًا

Wa-ẓarnee walmukaẓẓibeena ʹulin naʻmati wa-mahhilhum q̣aleelaa.

And leave Me with [the matter of] the deniers, those of ease [in life], and allow them respite a little.

إِنَّ لَدَيْنَآ أَنكَالًا وَجَحِيمًا

ʹInna ladaynaaa ʹañkaalañw Wa-Jaḥeemaa,

Indeed, with Us [for them] are shackles and burning fire

وَطَعَامًا ذَا غُصَّةٍ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمًا

Wa-Ṭaʻaamañ ẓaa g̣uṣṣatiñw waʻAẓaaban ʹaleemaa.

And food that chokes and a painful punishment -

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَثِيبًا مَّهِيلًا

Yawma tarjuful ʹarḍu wal-Jibaalu wa-kaanatil jibaalu kas̤eebam maheelaa.

On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down.

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًا شَـٰهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًا

ʹInnaaa ʹarsalnaaa ʹilaykum Rasoolañ shaahidan ʻalaykum kamaaa ʹarsalnaaa ʹilaa Firʻawna Rasoolaa.

Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger.

فَعَصَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُ أَخْذًا وَبِيلًا

Faʻaṣaa Firʻawnur Rasoola faʹakhaẓnaahu ʹakhẓañw Wabeelaa.

But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure.

فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ ٱلْوِلْدَٰنَ شِيبًا

Fakayfa tattaq̣oona ʹiñ kafartum Yawmañy yajʻalul wildaana sheebaa―

Then how can you fear, if you disbelieve, a Day that will make the children white-haired?

ٱلسَّمَآءُ مُنفَطِرٌۢ بِهِۦ ۚ كَانَ وَعْدُهُۥ مَفْعُولًا

ʹAssamaaaʹu muñfaṭirum bih? Kaana waʻduhoo mafʻoolaa.

The heaven will break apart therefrom; ever is His promise fulfilled.

إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِۦ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلًا

ʹInna haaẓihee Taẓkirah: famañ shaaaʹat takhaẓa ʹilaa Rabbihee Sabeelaa!

Indeed, this is a reminder, so whoever wills may take to his Lord a way.

۞ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَىِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُۥ وَثُلُثَهُۥ وَطَآئِفَةٌ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَكَ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَٱقْرَءُوا۟ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْءَانِ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن سَيَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرْضَىٰ ۙ وَءَاخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ ۙ وَءَاخَرُونَ يُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ فَٱقْرَءُوا۟ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ ۚ وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا ۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا۟ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا ۚ وَٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌۢ

Indeed, your Lord knows, [O Muḥammad], that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allāh determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur’ān. He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allāh and others fighting for the cause of Allāh. So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakāh and loan Allāh a goodly loan. And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allāh. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ

Yaaaʹayyuhal Muddas̤s̤ir!

O you who covers himself [with a garment],

قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ

Q̣um faʹañẓir!

Arise and warn

وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ

Wa-Rabbaka fakabbir!

And your Lord glorify

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ

Wa-s̤iyaabaka faṭahhir!

And your clothing purify

وَٱلرُّجْزَ فَٱهْجُرْ

Warrujza fahjur!

And uncleanliness avoid

وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ

Wa-laa tamnuñ tastaks̤ir.

And do not confer favor to acquire more

وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصْبِرْ

Wa-li-Rabbika faṣbir!

But for your Lord be patient.

فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى ٱلنَّاقُورِ

Faʹiẓaa nuq̣ira fin naaq̣oor.

And when the trumpet is blown,

فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ

Faẓaalika Yawmaʹiẓiñy Yawmun ʻAseer,―

That Day will be a difficult day

عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ

ʻAlal kaafireena g̣ayru yaseer.

For the disbelievers - not easy.

ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا

Ẓarnee wa-man khalaq̣tu wa-ḥeedaa!―

Leave Me with the one I created alone

وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُۥ مَالًا مَّمْدُودًا

Wa-jaʻaltu lahoo maalam mamdoodaa,

And to whom I granted extensive wealth

وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًا

Wa-baneena shuhoodaa!―

And children present [with him]

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمْهِيدًا

Wa-mahhattu lahoo tamheedaa!

And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].

ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ

S̤umma yaṭ-maʻu ʹan ʹazeed;―

Then he desires that I should add more.

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا عَنِيدًا

Kallaa! ʹinnahoo kaana liʹAayaatinaa ʻaneedaa!

No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.

سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا

Saʹurhiq̣uhoo ṣaʻoodaa!

I will cover him with arduous torment.

إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ

ʹInnahoo fakkara wa-q̣addar;―

Indeed, he thought and deliberated.

فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ

Faq̣utila kayfa q̣addar!―

So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ

S̤umma q̣utila kayfa q̣addar!―

Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ

S̤umma naz̤̣ar;

Then he considered [again];

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ

S̤umma ʻabasa wa-basar;

Then he frowned and scowled;

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ

S̤umma ʹadbara wastakbar;

Then he turned back and was arrogant

فَقَالَ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ

Faq̣aala ʹin haaẓaaa ʹillaa siḥruñy yuʹs̤ar;

And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].

إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ

ʹIn haaẓaaa ʹillaa q̣awlul bashar!

This is not but the word of a human being."

سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ

Saʹuṣleehi Saq̣ar!

I will drive him into Saqar.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ

Wa-maaa ʹadraaka maa- saq̣ar?

And what can make you know what is Saqar?

لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ

Laa- tubq̣ee wa-laa taẓar!―

It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],

لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ

Lawwaaḥatul lilbashar!―

Altering [i.e., blackening] the skins.

عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ

ʻAlayhaa tisʻata ʻashar.

Over it are nineteen [angels].

وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَـٰٓئِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَـٰنًا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَـٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ

Wa-maa jaʻalnaaa ʹAṣḥaaban naari ʹillaa malaaaʹikatañw wa-maa jaʻalnaa ʻiddatahum ʹillaa fitnatal lillaẓeena kafaroo liyastayq̣inal laẓeena ʹootul Kitaaba wa-yazdaadal laẓeena ʹaamanooo ʹeemaanañw Walaa yartaabal laẓeena ʹootul Kitaaba wal-Muʹminoona wa-liyaq̣oolal laẓeena fee q̣uloobihim maraḍuñw walkaafiroona maaẓaaa ʹaraadal laahu bihaaẓaa mas̤alaa?

And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is disease [i.e., hypocrisy] and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allāh intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allāh send astray whom He wills and guide whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And it [i.e., mention of the Fire] is not but a reminder to humanity.

كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ

Kallaa wal-Q̣amar,

No! By the moon

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ

Wallayli ʹiẓ ʹadbar,

And [by] the night when it departs

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ

Waṣ-Ṣubḥi ʹiẓaaa ʹasfar,―

And [by] the morning when it brightens,

إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ

ʹInnahaa laʹiḥdal kubar,

Indeed, it [i.e., the Fire] is of the greatest [afflictions]

نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ

Naẓeeral lilbashar,―

As a warning to humanity -

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ

Limañ shaaaʹa miñkum ʹañy yataq̣addama ʹaw yataʹakhkhar;

To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ

Kullu nafsim bimaa kasabat raheenah,

Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained

إِلَّآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ

ʹIllaaa ʹAṣḥaabal yameen.

Except the companions of the right,.

فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

Fee Jannaatiñy yatasaaaʹaloon

[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

ʻAnil mujrimeen:

About the criminals,

مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ

Maa- salakakum fee Saq̣ar?

[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"

قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ

Q̣aaloo lam naku minal Muṣalleen;

They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ

Wa-lam naku nuṭʻimul miskeen;

Nor did we used to feed the poor.

وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ

Wa-kunnaa nakhooḍu maʻal khaaaʹiḍeen;

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

Wa-kunnaa nukaẓẓibu bi-Yawmid Deen

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ

Ḥattaaa ʹataanal yaq̣een.

Until there came to us the certainty [i.e., death]."

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَـٰعَةُ ٱلشَّـٰفِعِينَ

Famaa tañfaʻuhum shafaaʻatush shaafiʻeen.

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.

فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ

Famaa lahum ʻanit taẓkirati muʻriḍeen,

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ

Kaʹannahum ḥumurum mustañfirah,

As if they were alarmed donkeys

فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ

Farrat miñ q̣aswarah!

Fleeing from a lion?

بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً

Bal yureedu kullum riʹim minhum ʹañy yuʹtaa ṣuḥufam munashsharah!

Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ

Kaallaa! Bal laa- yakhaafoonal ʹAakhirah.

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌ

Kallaaa ʹinnahoo taẓkirah:

No! Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

Famañ shaaaʹa ẓakarah!

Then whoever wills will remember it.

وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ

Wa-maa yaẓkuroona ʹillaaa ʹañy yashaaaʹal laah: Huwa ʹAhlut taq̣waa wa-ʹAhlul Mag̣firah.

And they will not remember except that Allāh wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.

لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ

Laaa ʹuq̣simu bi-Yawmil Q̣iyaamah;

I swear by the Day of Resurrection

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ

Wa-laaa ʹuq̣simu bin-nafsil lawwaamah.

And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ

ʹAyaḥsabul ʹiñsaanu ʹal-lan najmaʻa ʻiz̤̣aamah?

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ

Ballaa Q̣aadireena ʻalaaa ʹan nusawwiya banaanah.

Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.

بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ

Bal yureedul ʹIñsaanu liyafjura ʹamaamah.

But man desires to continue in sin.

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ

Yasʹalu ʹayyaana Yawmul Q̣IYAAMAH?

He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ

Faʹiẓaa bariq̣al baṣar,

So when vision is dazzled

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ

Wa-khasafal Q̣amar.

And the moon darkens

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ

Wa-jumiʻash shamsu wal-q̣amar,―

And the sun and the moon are joined,

يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ

Yaq̣oolul ʹiñsaanu Yaw-maʹiẓin ʹaynal mafarr?

Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ

Kallaa laa- wazar!

No! There is no refuge.

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ

ʹIlaa Rabbika Yawmaʹiẓinil mustaq̣arr.

To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ

Yunabbaʹul ʹiñsaanu Yawmaʹiẓim bimaa q̣addama wa-ʹakhkhar.

Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.

بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌ

Balil ʹiñsaanu ʻalaa nafsihee baṣeerah,

Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ

Wa-law ʹalq̣aa maʻaaẓeerah.

Even if he presents his excuses.

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ

Laa- tuḥarrik bihee lisaanaka litaʻjala bih.

Move not your tongue with it, [O Muḥammad], to hasten with it [i.e., recitation of the Qur’ān].

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ

ʹInna ʻalaynaa jamʻahoo wa-q̣urʹaanah:

Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَـٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ

Faʹiẓaa q̣araʹnaahu fattabiʻ q̣ur-ʹaanah:

So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ

S̤umma ʹinna ʻalaynaa bayaanah:

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ

Kallaa bal tuḥibboonal ʻaajilah,―

No! But you [i.e., mankind] love the immediate

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ

Wa-taẓaroonal ʹAakhirah.

And leave [i.e., neglect] the Hereafter.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ

Wujoohuñy Yawmaʹiẓin naaḍirah;―

[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ

ʹIlaa Rabbihaa naaz̤̣irah;

Looking at their Lord.

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ

Wa-wujoohuñy Yawmaʹiẓim baasirah,

And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ

Taz̤̣unnu ʹañy yufʻala bihaa faaq̣irah;

Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ

Kallaaa ʹiẓaa balag̣atit taraaq̣ee,

No! When it [i.e., the soul] has reached the collar bones

وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍ

Wa-q̣eela man raaq̣?

And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ

Wa-z̤̣anna ʹannahul firaaq̣;

And he [i.e., the dying one] is certain that it is the [time of] separation

وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ

Waltaffatis saaq̣u bissaaq̣:

And the leg is wound about the leg,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ

ʹIlaa Rabbika Yawmaʹiẓinil masaaq̣!

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ

Falaa Saddaq̣a wa-laa ṣallaa!―

And he [i.e., the disbeliever] had not believed, nor had he prayed.

وَلَـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

Wa-laakiñ kaẓẓaba wa-tawallaa!

But [instead], he denied and turned away.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ

S̤umma ẓahaba ʹilaaa ʹahlihee yatamaṭṭaa!

And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ

ʹAwlaa laka faʹawlaa!

Woe to you, and woe!

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ

S̤umma ʹawlaa laka faʹawlaa!

Then woe to you, and woe!

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى

ʹAyaḥsabul ʹiñsaanu ʹañy yutraka sudaa?

Does man think that he will be left neglected?

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ

ʹAlam yaku nuṭfatam mim maniyyiñy yumnaa?

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

S̤umma kaana ʻalaq̣atañ fakhalaq̣a fasawwaa.

Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allāh] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

Fajaʻala minhuz zawjayniẓ ẓakara wal-ʹuñs̤aa.

And made of him two mates, the male and the female.

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْـِۧىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ

ʹAlaysa ẓaalika biq̣aadirin ʻalaaa ʹañy yuḥyiyal mawtaa?

Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?

هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْإِنسَـٰنِ حِينٌ مِّنَ ٱلدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْـًٔا مَّذْكُورًا

Hal ʹataa ʻalal ʹIÑSAANI ḥeenum minad DAHRI lam yakuñ shayʹam maẓkooraa?

Has there [not] come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing [even] mentioned?

إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَّبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ سَمِيعًۢا بَصِيرًا

ʹInnaa khalaq̣nal ʹiñsaana min nuṭfatin ʹamshaajin nabtaleehi fajaʻalnaahu sameeʻam baṣeeraa.

Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing.

إِنَّا هَدَيْنَـٰهُ ٱلسَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا

ʹInnaa hadaynaahus sabeela ʹimmaa shakirañw waʹimmaa kafooraa.
