عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝١

About what are they asking one another?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ۝٢

About the great news¹⁸²¹ -

ٱلَّذِي هُمۡ فِيهِ مُخۡتَلِفُونَ ۝٣

That over which they are in disagreement.

كـَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ ۝٤

No! They are going to know.

ثُمَّ كـَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ ۝٥

Then, no! They are going to know.

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِهَٰدٗا ۝٦

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَوۡتَادٗا ۝٧

And the mountains as stakes?¹⁸²²

وَخَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا ۝٨

And We created you in pairs

وَجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتٗا ۝٩

And made your sleep [a means for] rest

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسٗا ۝١٠

And made the night as clothing¹⁸²³

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشٗا ۝١١

And made the day for livelihood

وَبَنَيۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعٗا شِدَادٗا ۝١٢

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

وَجَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجٗا وَهَّاجٗا ۝١٣

And made [therein] a burning lamp

وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُعۡصِرَٰتِ مَآءٗ ثَجَّاجٗا ۝١٤

And sent down from the rain clouds pouring water

لِّنُخۡرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبّٗا وَنَبَاتٗا ۝١٥

That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلۡفَافًا ۝١٦

And gardens of entwined growth.

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتٗا ۝١٧

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجٗا ۝١٨

The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَٰبٗا ۝١٩

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا ۝٢٠

And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادٗا ۝٢١

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابٗا ۝٢٢

For the transgressors, a place of return,

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحۡقَابٗا ۝٢٣

In which they will remain for ages [unending].

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرۡدٗا وَلَا شَرَابًا ۝٢٤

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink.

إِلَّا حَمِيمٗا وَغَسَّاقٗا ۝٢٥

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

جَزَآءٗ وِفَاقًا ۝٢٦

An appropriate recompense.¹⁸²⁴

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ حِسَابٗا ۝٢٧

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابٗا ۝٢٨

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَٰهُ كِتَٰبٗا ۝٢٩

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمۡ إِلَّا عَذَابًا ۝٣٠

"So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."¹⁸²⁵

إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا ۝٣١

Indeed, for the righteous is attainment¹⁸²⁶ -

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعۡنَٰبٗا ۝٣٢

Gardens and grapevines

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتۡرَابٗا ۝٣٣

And young women [companions] of equal age.

وَكَأۡسٗا دِهَاقٗا ۝٣٤

And a full cup.¹⁸²⁷

لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا كِذَّٰبٗا ۝٣٥

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

جَزَآءٗ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابٗا ۝٣٦

[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,¹⁸²⁸

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۖ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابٗا ۝٣٧

[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.¹⁸²⁹

يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفّٗاۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابٗا ۝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.

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا ۝٣٩

That is the True [i.e., certain] Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.¹⁸³⁰

إِنَّآ أَنذَرۡنَٰكُمۡ عَذَابٗا قَرِيبٗا يَوۡمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَٰبَۢا ۝٤٠

Indeed, We have warned you of an impending punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth¹⁸³¹ and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
