بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
الَّذِيْ هُمْ فِيْهِ مُخْتَلِفُوْنَۗ
Al-ladzii hum fiihi mukhtalifuun(a)
that they are in utter disagreement?
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُوْنَ
Tsumma kalaa saya'lamuun(a)
again, no indeed; soon will they come to know.
اَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْاَرْضَ مِهٰدًاۙ
Alam naj'alil ardha mihaadan
Have We not spread the earth like a bed,
وَّجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًاۙ
Waja'alnaa naumakum subaatan
and made your sleep a means of repose,
وَّجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًاۚ
Waja'alnaannahaara ma'aasyan
and made the day to seek livelihood,
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًاۙ
Wabanainaa fauqakum sab'an syidaadan
and built above you seven strong firmaments,
وَّجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَّهَّاجًاۖ
Waja'alnaa siraajan wahhaajan
and placed therein a hot, shining lamp,
وَّاَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعْصِرٰتِ مَاۤءً ثَجَّاجًاۙ
Wa-anzalnaa minal mu'shiraati maa-an tsajjaajan
and sent down abundant water from the clouds
لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهٖ حَبًّا وَّنَبَاتًاۙ
Linukhrija bihi habban wanabaatan
so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation,
اِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيْقَاتًاۙ
Inna yaumal fashli kaana miiqaatan
Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time;
يَّوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِى الصُّوْرِ فَتَأْتُوْنَ اَفْوَاجًاۙ
Yauma yunfakhu fiish-shuuri fata'tuuna afwaajan
the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes;
وَّفُتِحَتِ السَّمَاۤءُ فَكَانَتْ اَبْوَابًاۙ
Wafutihatissamaa-u fakaanat abwaaban
and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors;
وَّسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًاۗ
Wasui-yiratil jibaalu fakaanat saraaban
and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage.
اِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًاۙ
Inna jahannama kaanat mirshaadan
Surely the Hell is an ambush,
لَا يَذُوْقُوْنَ فِيْهَا بَرْدًا وَّلَا شَرَابًاۙ
Laa yadzuuquuna fiihaa bardan walaa syaraaban
they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink
اِلَّا حَمِيْمًا وَّغَسَّاقًاۙ
Ilaa hamiiman waghassaaqan
save boiling water and wash of the wounds;
اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا لَا يَرْجُوْنَ حِسَابًاۙ
Innahum kaanuu laa yarjuuna hisaaban
For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning,
وَّكَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا كِذَّابًاۗ
Wakadz-dzabuu biaayaatinaa kidz-dzaaban
and roundly denied Our Signs as false.
وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ اَحْصَيْنٰهُ كِتٰبًاۙ
Wakulla syai-in ahshainaahu kitaaban
And everything have We recorded in a Book.
فَذُوْقُوْا فَلَنْ نَّزِيْدَكُمْ اِلَّا عَذَابًا ࣖ
Fadzuuquu falan naziidakum ilaa 'adzaaban
So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment.
اِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ مَفَازًاۙ
Inna lilmuttaqiina mafaazan
Surely the state of triumph awaits the God-fearing:
لَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ فِيْهَا لَغْوًا وَّلَا كِذَّابًا
Laa yasma'uuna fiihaa laghwan walaa kidz-dzaaban
Therein they shall hear no idle talk, nor any falsehood;
جَزَاۤءً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ عَطَاۤءً حِسَابًاۙ
Jazaa-an min rabbika 'athaa-an hisaaban
a recompense from your Lord and an ample reward
رَّبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الرَّحْمٰنِ لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًاۚ
Rabbis-samaawaati wal ardhi wamaa bainahumaar-rahmani laa yamlikuuna minhu khithaaban
from the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of that which is between them; the Most Merciful Lord before Whom none dare utter a word.
يَوْمَ يَقُوْمُ الرُّوْحُ وَالْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ صَفًّاۙ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُوْنَ اِلَّا مَنْ اَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا
Yauma yaquumur-ruuhu wal malaa-ikatu shaffan laa yatakallamuuna ilaa man adzina lahur-rahmanu waqaala shawaaban
The Day when the Spirit and the angels are ranged row on row. None shall speak save he whom the Merciful Lord will permit; and he too will speak what is right.
ذٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّۚ فَمَنْ شَاۤءَ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰى رَبِّهٖ مَاٰبًا
Dzalikal yaumul haqqu faman syaa-aattakhadza ila rabbihi maaaban
That Day is sure to come. So let him who will seek a resort with his Lord.
اِنَّآ اَنْذَرْنٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيْبًا ەۙ يَّوْمَ يَنْظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُوْلُ الْكٰفِرُ يٰلَيْتَنِيْ كُنْتُ تُرَابًا ࣖ
Innaa andzarnaakum 'adzaaban qariiban yauma yanzhurul maru maa qaddamat yadaahu wayaquulul kaafiru yaa laitanii kuntu turaaban
Lo! We warn you of a chastisement near at hand; the Day when a man will look on what his own hands have sent forth, and the unbelievers shall say: “Oh would that I were utter dust.”
