In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem
Lord of the Heavens and the Earth and what is between them, and the Lord of the Easts.
رَبُّ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ الْمَشَارِقِۜ
Rabbu assamawati wal-ardiwama baynahuma warabbu almashariq
We have adorned the lower heaven with the adornment of the stars

Inna zayyanna assamaaaddunya bizeenatin alkawakib
And as protection against every refractory satan.
وَحِفْظاً مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَارِدٍۚ
Wahifthan min kulli shaytaninmarid
They listen not to the exalted assembly, and they are pelted from every side,
لَا يَسَّمَّعُونَ اِلَى الْمَلَأِ الْاَعْلٰى وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍۗ
La yassammaAAoona ila almala-ial-aAAla wayuqthafoona min kulli janib
Repelled — and they have a constant punishment —
دُحُوراً وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌۙ
Duhooran walahum AAathabun wasib
Save he who snatches a fragment; and a piercing flame follows him.
اِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الْخَطْفَةَ فَاَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ
Illa man khatifa alkhatfatafaatbaAAahu shihabun thaqib
So ask thou them: are they harder to create, or those We have created? We created them of clinging clay.
فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ اَهُمْ اَشَدُّ خَلْقاً اَمْ مَنْ خَلَقْنَاۜ اِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُمْ مِنْ ط۪ينٍ لَازِبٍ
Fastaftihim ahum ashaddu khalqan amman khalaqna inna khalaqnahum min teeninlazib
Yet thou dost marvel; and they deride
بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَۖ
Bal AAajibta wayaskharoon
And, when they are reminded, bear not in mind
وَاِذَا ذُكِّرُوا لَا يَذْكُرُونَۖ
Wa-itha thukkiroo la yathkuroon
And, when they see a proof, turn in derision.
وَاِذَا رَاَوْا اٰيَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَۖ
Wa-itha raaw ayatanyastaskhiroon
And they say: “This is only obvious sorcery.
وَقَالُٓوا اِنْ هٰذَٓا اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُب۪ينٌۚ
Waqaloo in hatha illasihrun mubeen
“When we are dead and are dust and bones, will we be raised?

“And will our forefathers?”

Say thou: “Yea, and you will be abased.”
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَاَنْتُمْ دَاخِرُونَۚ
Qul naAAam waantum dakhiroon
Then will it be but one cry — and then will they be looking on —
فَاِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَاِذَا هُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ
Fa-innama hiya zajratun wahidatunfa-itha hum yanthuroon
And they will say: “Woe is us! This is the Day of Judgment.”
وَقَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا هٰذَا يَوْمُ الدّ۪ينِ
Waqaloo ya waylana hathayawmu addeen
“This is the Day of Decision which you denied!
هٰذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ الَّذ۪ي كُنْتُمْ بِه۪ تُكَذِّبُونَ۟
Hatha yawmu alfasli allatheekuntum bihi tukaththiboon
“Gather those who did wrong, and their wives, and what they served

Ohshuroo allatheena thalamoowaazwajahum wama kanoo yaAAbudoon
“Instead of God, and guide them to the path of Hell!
مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ فَاهْدُوهُمْ اِلٰى صِرَاطِ الْجَح۪يمِۙ
Min dooni Allahi fahdoohum ilasirati aljaheem
“But stop them — they are to be questioned:
وَقِفُوهُمْ اِنَّهُمْ مَسْؤُ۫لُونَۙ
Waqifoohum innahum masooloon
“What ails you that you help not one another?”
مَا لَـكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ
Ma lakum la tanasaroon
The truth is they, this day, are in submission!
بَلْ هُمُ الْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ
Bal humu alyawma mustaslimoon
And they will draw near to one another, asking one of another,
وَاَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ يَتَسَٓاءَلُونَ
Waaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdinyatasaaloon

قَالُٓوا اِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ الْيَم۪ينِ
Qaloo innakum kuntum ta/toonanaAAani alyameen
Those will say: “Nay, you were not believers,
قَالُوا بَلْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا مُؤْمِن۪ينَۚ
Qaloo bal lam takoonoo mu/mineen
“And we had over you no authority. The truth is, you were people transgressing all bounds,
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍۚ بَلْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْماً طَاغ۪ينَ
Wama kana lanaAAalaykum min sultanin bal kuntum qawman tagheen
“So the word of our Lord has become binding upon us: We are to taste.
فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَاۗ اِنَّا لَذَٓائِقُونَ
Fahaqqa AAalayna qawlu rabbinainna latha-iqoon
“And we caused you to err — we were those who err.”
فَاَغْوَيْنَاكُمْ اِنَّا كُنَّا غَاو۪ينَ
Faaghwaynakum inna kunnaghaween
And they, that day, are sharers in the punishment.
فَاِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي الْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ
Fa-innahum yawma-ithin fee alAAathabimushtarikoon
Thus do We with the lawbreakers.
اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِم۪ينَ

They — when it was said to them: “There is no god save God,” — waxed proud,

Wayaqooloona a-inna latarikoo alihatinalishaAAirin majnoon
The truth is, he brought the truth and confirmed the emissaries:
بَلْ جَٓاءَ بِالْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ الْمُرْسَل۪ينَ
Bal jaa bilhaqqi wasaddaqaalmursaleen
“You are to taste the painful punishment
اِنَّكُمْ لَذَٓائِقُوا الْعَذَابِ الْاَل۪يمِۚ
Innakum latha-iqoo alAAathabial-aleem
“And you will be rewarded only for what you did.”)
وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ اِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَۙ

Save the sincere servants of God.
اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الْمُخْلَص۪ينَ

Those will have a known provision:

Ola-ika lahum rizqun maAAloom
Fruits. And they will be honoured;

Fawakihu wahum mukramoon
Upon couches, facing one another,
عَلٰى سُرُرٍ مُتَقَابِل۪ينَ

Circulated among them will be a cup from a running spring,

White, delightful to the drinkers,

Wherein is no sickness, nor are they intoxicated thereby,
لَا ف۪يهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنْزَفُونَ

And with them maidens of modest-eyed gaze,

As if they were eggs closely guarded.

And they will draw near to one another, asking one of another:
فَاَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ يَتَسَٓاءَلُونَ
Faaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdinyatasaaloon
(A speaker among them will say: “I had a companion,

Qala tallahi in kidtalaturdeen
“And were it not for the favour of my Lord, I would have been among those summoned.”)
وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبّ۪ي لَكُنْتُ مِنَ الْمُحْضَر۪ينَ
Walawla niAAmatu rabbee lakuntu minaalmuhdareen

That is the Great Achievement!

For the like of this let the workers work!

Is that better as a welcome, or the Tree of Zaqqūm?
اَذٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُزُلاً اَمْ شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّومِ
Athalika khayrun nuzulan am shajaratuazzaqqoom

Then will their return be to Hell.

اِذْ نَجَّيْنَاهُ وَاَهْلَـهُٓ اَجْمَع۪ينَۙ
Ith najjaynahu waahlahuajmaAAeen
Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;
اِلَّا عَجُوزاً فِي الْغَابِر۪ينَ
Illa AAajoozan fee alghabireen
Then destroyed We the others.
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْاٰخَر۪ينَ
Thumma dammarna al-akhareen
And you pass by them in the morning
وَاِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُصْبِح۪ينَۙ
Wa-innakum latamurroona AAalayhim musbiheen
And at night. Will you then not use reason!
وَبِالَّيْلِۜ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ۟
Wabillayli afala taAAqiloon
And Jonah was among the emissaries,
وَاِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَل۪ينَۜ
Wa-inna yoonusa lamina almursaleen
When he fled to the laden ship,
اِذْ اَبَقَ اِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِۙ
Ith abaqa ila alfulki almashhoon
Then he cast lots, and was among those refuted.
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَض۪ينَۚ
Fasahama fakana mina almudhadeen
Then the fish swallowed him, when he was blameworthy.
فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُل۪يمٌ
Faltaqamahu alhootu wahuwamuleem
And were he not among the givers of glory,
فَلَوْلَٓا اَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّح۪ينَۙ
Falawla annahu kana minaalmusabbiheen
He would have tarried in its belly until the day they are raised.
لَلَبِثَ ف۪ي بَطْنِه۪ٓ اِلٰى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
Lalabitha fee batnihi ilayawmi yubAAathoon
But We cast him on the bare shore when he was sick,
فَنَبَذْنَاهُ بِالْعَرَٓاءِ وَهُوَ سَق۪يمٌۚ
Fanabathnahu bilAAara-iwahuwa saqeem
And We caused to grow over him a tree of gourd;
وَاَنْبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِنْ يَقْط۪ينٍۚ
Waanbatna AAalayhi shajaratan minyaqteen
And We sent him to a hundred thousand or more;
وَاَرْسَلْنَاهُ اِلٰى مِائَةِ اَلْفٍ اَوْ يَز۪يدُونَۚ
Waarsalnahu ila mi-ati alfinaw yazeedoon
And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment for a time.
فَاٰمَنُوا فَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ اِلٰى ح۪ينٍۜ
Faamanoo famattaAAnahum ilaheen
And ask thou them: has thy Lord daughters and they sons?
فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ اَلِرَبِّكَ الْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ الْبَنُونَۙ
Fastaftihim alirabbika albanatuwalahumu albanoon
If We created the angels females, while they were witnesses:
اَمْ خَلَقْنَا الْمَلٰٓئِكَةَ اِنَاثاً وَهُمْ شَاهِدُونَ
Am khalaqna almala-ikata inathanwahum shahidoon
(In truth, it is of their falsehood that they say:
اَلَٓا اِنَّهُمْ مِنْ اِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَۙ
Ala innahum min ifkihim layaqooloon
“God has begotten,” and they are liars.)
وَلَدَ اللّٰهُۙ وَاِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ
Walada Allahu wa-innahum lakathiboon
Chose He daughters over sons?
اَصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَن۪ينَۜ
Astafa albanati AAalaalbaneen
What ails you? How judge you?
مَا لَـكُمْ۠ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoon
If you have a clear authority,
اَمْ لَـكُمْ سُلْطَانٌ مُب۪ينٌۙ
Am lakum sultanun mubeen
Then bring your writ, if you be truthful.
فَأْتُوا بِكِتَابِكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِق۪ينَ
Fa/too bikitabikum in kuntum sadiqeen
And they have made between Him and the jinnaa kinship — when the jinna know they will be summoned —
وَجَعَلُوا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِنَّةِ نَسَباًۜ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنَّةُ اِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَۙ
WajaAAaloo baynahu wabayna aljinnatinasaban walaqad AAalimati aljinnatu innahum lamuhdaroon
(Glory be to God above what they describe!)
سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَۙ
Subhana Allahi AAammayasifoon
Save the sincere servants of God.
اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الْمُخْلَص۪ينَ
Illa AAibada Allahialmukhlaseen
And you, and what you serve,
فَاِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَۙ
Fa-innakum wama taAAbudoon
You will not tempt against Him
مَٓا اَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِن۪ينَۙ
Ma antum AAalayhi bifatineen
Save him who is to burn in Hell.
اِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَح۪يمِ
Illa man huwa sali aljaheem
“And there is none among us save has an appointed station;
وَمَا مِنَّٓا اِلَّا لَهُ مَقَامٌ مَعْلُومٌ
Wama minna illa lahumaqamun maAAloom
“And we are those lined up;
وَاِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الصَّٓافُّونَۚ
Wa-inna lanahnu assaffoon
“And we are the givers of glory.”
وَاِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْمُسَبِّحُونَ
Wa-inna lanahnu almusabbihoon
“Were we to have had a remembrance from the former peoples
لَوْ اَنَّ عِنْدَنَا ذِكْراً مِنَ الْاَوَّل۪ينَۙ
Law anna AAindana thikranmina al-awwaleen
“We would have been the sincere servants of God!”
لَـكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الْمُخْلَص۪ينَ
Lakunna AAibada Allahialmukhlaseen
But they denied it; and they will come to know!
فَـكَفَرُوا بِه۪ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Fakafaroo bihi fasawfa yaAAlamoon
And Our word has gone forth to Our servants, the emissaries:
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَل۪ينَۚ
Walaqad sabaqat kalimatuna liAAibadinaalmursaleen
They — they — will be those helped.
اِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمَنْصُورُونَۖ
Innahum lahumu almansooroon
And Our host — they will be the victors.
وَاِنَّ جُنْدَنَا لَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ
Wa-inna jundana lahumu alghaliboon
So turn thou from them for a time.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتّٰى ح۪ينٍۙ
Fatawalla AAanhum hatta heen
And see thou them; for they will come to see!
وَاَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Waabsirhum fasawfa yubsiroon
Then is it Our punishment they wish to hasten?
اَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloon
And when it descends in their courtyard, then evil is the morning of those who were warned!
فَاِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَٓاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَر۪ينَ
Fa-itha nazala bisahatihimfasaa sabahu almunthareen
And turn thou from them for a time.
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتّٰى ح۪ينٍۙ
Watawalla AAanhum hatta heen
And see thou; for they will come to see!
وَاَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Waabsir fasawfa yubsiroon
Glory be to thy Lord, the Lord of Power and Glory, above what they describe!
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَۚ
Subhana rabbika rabbi alAAizzatiAAamma yasifoon
And peace be upon the emissaries!
وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَل۪ينَۚ
Wasalamun AAala almursaleen
And praise belongs to God, the Lord of All Creation!
وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَم۪ينَ
Walhamdu lillahirabbi alAAalameen
