SURAH AN-NABA (THE GREAT EVENT)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُوْنَ‌ۚ‏(1)

(1) Of what do they ask one another?

عَنِ النَّبَاِ الْعَظِيْمِۙ‏(2)

(2) About the great event,

الَّذِىْ هُمْ فِيْهِ مُخْتَلِفُوْنَؕ‏(3)

(3) About which they differ?

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُوْنَۙ‏(4)

(4) Nay! they shall soon come to know

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُوْنَ‏(5)

(5) Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.

اَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْاَرْضَ مِهٰدًا ۙ‏(6)

(6) Have We not made the earth an even expanse?

وَّالْجِبَالَ اَوْتَادًا ۙ‏(7)

(7) And the mountains as projections (thereon)?

وَّخَلَقْنٰكُمْ اَزْوَاجًا ۙ‏(8)

(8) And We created you in pairs,

وَّجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا ۙ‏(9)

(9) And We made your sleep to be rest (to you),

وَّجَعَلْنَا الَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا ۙ‏(10)

(10) And We made the night to be a covering,

وَّجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا‏(11)

(11) And We made the day for seeking livelihood.

وَّبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا ۙ‏(12)

(12) And We made above you seven strong ones,

وَّ جَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَّهَّاجًا ۙ‏(13)

(13) And We made a shining lamp,

وَّاَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعْصِرٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا ۙ‏(14)

(14) And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly,

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهٖ حَبًّا وَّنَبَاتًا ۙ‏(15)

(15) That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs,

وَّجَنّٰتٍ اَلْفَافًا ؕ‏(16)

(16) And gardens dense and luxuriant.

اِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيْقَاتًا ۙ‏(17)

(17) Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed:

يَّوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِى الصُّوْرِ فَتَاْتُوْنَ اَفْوَاجًا ۙ‏(18)

(18) The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts,

وَّفُتِحَتِ السَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ اَبْوَابًا ۙ‏(19)

(19) And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings,

وَّ سُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا ؕ‏(20)

(20) And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance.

اِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا ۙ‏(21)

(21) Surely hell lies in wait,

لِّلطّٰغِيْنَ مَاٰبًا ۙ‏(22)

(22) A place of resort for the inordinate,

لّٰبِثِيْنَ فِيْهَاۤ اَحْقَابًا‌ ۚ‏(23)

(23) Living therein for ages.

لَا يَذُوْقُوْنَ فِيْهَا بَرْدًا وَّلَا شَرَابًا ۙ‏(24)

(24) They shall not taste therein cool nor drink

اِلَّا حَمِيْمًا وَّغَسَّاقًا ۙ‏(25)

(25) But boiling and intensely cold water,

جَزَآءً وِّفَاقًا ؕ‏(26)

(26) Requital corresponding.

اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا لَا يَرْجُوْنَ حِسَابًا ۙ‏(27)

(27) Surely they feared not the account,

وَّكَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا ؕ‏(28)

(28) And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth).

وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ اَحْصَيْنٰهُ كِتٰبًا ۙ‏(29)

(29) And We have recorded everything in a book,

فَذُوْقُوْا فَلَنْ نَّزِيْدَكُمْ اِلَّا عَذَابًا‏(30)

(30) So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement.

اِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ مَفَازًا ۙ‏(31)

(31) Surely for those who guard (against evil) is achievement,

حَدَآئِقَ وَاَعْنَابًا ۙ‏(32)

(32) Gardens and vineyards,

وَّكَوَاعِبَ اَتْرَابًا ۙ‏(33)

(33) And voluptuous women of equal age;

وَّكَاْسًا دِهَاقًا ؕ‏(34)

(34) And a pure cup.

لَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ فِيْهَا لَغْوًا وَّلَا كِذّٰبًا‌ ۚ‏(35)

(35) They shall not hear therein any vain words nor lying.

جَزَآءً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا ۙ‏(36)

(36) A reward from your Lord, a gift according to a reckoning:

رَّبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الرَّحْمٰنِ‌ لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا‌ ۚ‏(37)

(37) The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent Allah, they shall not be able to address Him.

يَوْمَ يَقُوْمُ الرُّوْحُ وَالْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّا ؕۙ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُوْنَ اِلَّا مَنْ اَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا‌‏(38)

(38) The day on which the spirit and the angels shall stand in ranks; they shall not speak except he whom the Beneficent Allah permits and who speaks the right thing.

ذٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ‌ ۚ فَمَنْ شَآءَ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰى رَبِّهٖ مَاٰبًا‏(39)

(39) That is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord.

اِنَّاۤ اَنْذَرْنٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيْبًا ۖۚ يَّوْمَ يَنْظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدٰهُ وَيَقُوْلُ الْكٰفِرُ يٰلَيْتَنِىْ كُنْتُ تُرٰبًا‏(40)

(40) Surely We have warned you of a chastisement near at hand: the day when man shall see what his two hands have sent before, and the unbeliever shall say: O! would that I were dust!

SURAH AN-NAZI’AAT (THOSE WHO PULL OUT)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

وَالنّٰزِعٰتِ غَرْقًا ۙ‏(1)

(1) I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,

وَّالنّٰشِطٰتِ نَشْطًا ۙ‏(2)

(2) And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,

وَّالسّٰبِحٰتِ سَبْحًا ۙ‏(3)

(3) And by those who float in space,

فَالسّٰبِقٰتِ سَبْقًا ۙ‏(4)

(4) Then those who are foremost going ahead,

فَالْمُدَبِّرٰتِ اَمْرًا‌ ۘ‏(5)

(5) Then those who regulate the affair.

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ ۙ‏(6)

(6) The day on which the quaking one shall quake,

تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ ؕ‏(7)

(7) What must happen afterwards shall follow it.

قُلُوْبٌ يَّوْمَئِذٍ وَّاجِفَةٌ ۙ‏(8)

(8) Hearts on that day shall palpitate,

اَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ‌ ۘ‏(9)

(9) Their eyes cast down.

يَقُوْلُوْنَ ءَاِنَّا لَمَرْدُوْدُوْنَ فِى الْحَافِرَةِ ؕ‏(10)

(10) They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?

ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً ؕ‏(11)

(11) What! when we are rotten bones?

قَالُوْا تِلْكَ اِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ‌ ۘ‏(12)

(12) They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.

فَاِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ ۙ‏(13)

(13) But it shall be only a single cry,

فَاِذَا هُمْ بِالسَّاهِرَةِ ؕ‏(14)

(14) When lo! they shall be wakeful.

هَلْ اَتٰٮكَ حَدِيْثُ مُوْسٰى‌ۘ‏(15)

(15) Has not there come to you the story of Musa?

اِذْ نَادٰٮهُ رَبُّهٗ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى‌ۚ‏(16)

(16) When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,

اِذْهَبْ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّهٗ طَغٰى ۖ‏(17)

(17) Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.

فَقُلْ هَلْ لَّكَ اِلٰٓى اَنْ تَزَكّٰى ۙ‏(18)

(18) Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:

وَاَهْدِيَكَ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشٰى‌ۚ‏(19)

(19) And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.

فَاَرٰٮهُ الْاٰيَةَ الْكُبْرٰى ۖ‏(20)

(20) So he showed him the mighty sign.

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصٰى ۖ‏(21)

(21) But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ اَدْبَرَ يَسْعٰىۖ‏(22)

(22) Then he went back hastily.

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادٰىۖ‏(23)

(23) Then he gathered (men) and called out.

فَقَالَ اَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْاَعْلٰى ۖ‏(24)

(24) Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.

فَاَخَذَهُ اللّٰهُ نَڪَالَ الْاٰخِرَةِ وَالْاُوْلٰى ؕ‏(25)

(25) So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.

اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَنْ يَّخْشٰىؕ‏(26)

(26) Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.

ءَاَنْتُمْ اَشَدُّ خَلْقًا اَمِ السَّمَآءُ‌ ؕ بَنٰٮهَا‏(27)

(27) Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّٮهَا ۙ‏(28)

(28) He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.

وَ اَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَاَخْرَجَ ضُحٰٮهَا‏(29)

(29) And He made dark its night and brought out its light.

وَالْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ دَحٰٮهَا ؕ‏(30)

(30) And the earth, He expanded it after that.

اَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعٰٮهَا‏(31)

(31) He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.

وَالْجِبَالَ اَرْسٰٮهَا ۙ‏(32)

(32) And the mountains, He made them firm,

مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِاَنْعَامِكُمْؕ‏(33)

(33) A provision for you and for your cattle.

فَاِذَا جَآءَتِ الطَّآمَّةُ الْكُبْرٰى ۖ‏(34)

(34) But when the great predominating calamity comes;

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْاِنْسَانُ مَا سَعٰىۙ‏(35)

(35) The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيْمُ لِمَنْ يَّرٰى‏(36)

(36) And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees

فَاَمَّا مَنْ طَغٰىۙ‏(37)

(37) Then as for him who is inordinate,

وَاٰثَرَ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا ۙ‏(38)

(38) And prefers the life of this world,

فَاِنَّ الْجَحِيْمَ هِىَ الْمَاْوٰىؕ‏(39)

(39) Then surely the hell, that is the abode.

وَاَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهٖ وَ نَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوٰىۙ‏(40)

(40) And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,

فَاِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِىَ الْمَاْوٰىؕ‏(41)

(41) Then surely the garden-- that is the abode.

يَسْئَلُوْنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَيَّانَ مُرْسٰٮهَا ؕ‏(42)

(42) They ask you about the hour, when it will come.

فِيْمَ اَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرٰٮهَاؕ‏(43)

(43) About what! You are one to remind of it.

اِلٰى رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهٰٮهَاؕ‏(44)

(44) To your Lord is the goal of it.

اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مُنْذِرُ مَنْ يَّخْشٰٮهَاؕ‏(45)

(45) You are only a warner to him who would fear it.

كَاَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوْۤا اِلَّا عَشِيَّةً اَوْ ضُحٰٮهَا‏(46)

(46) On the day that they see it, it will be as though they had not tarried but the latter part of a day or the early part of it.

SURAH ‘ABASA (HE FROWNED)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلّٰٓىۙ‏(1)

(1) He frowned and turned (his) back,

اَنْ جَآءَهُ الْاَعْمٰىؕ‏(2)

(2) Because there came to him the blind man.

وَمَا يُدْرِيْكَ لَعَلَّهٗ يَزَّكّٰٓىۙ‏(3)

(3) And what would make you know that he would purify himself,

اَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنْفَعَهُ الذِّكْرٰىؕ‏(4)

(4) Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?

اَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنٰىۙ‏(5)

(5) As for him who considers himself free from need (of you),

فَاَنْتَ لَهٗ تَصَدّٰىؕ‏(6)

(6) To him do you address yourself.

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ اَلَّا يَزَّكّٰٓىؕ‏(7)

(7) And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself

وَاَمَّا مَنْ جَآءَكَ يَسْعٰىۙ‏(8)

(8) And as to him who comes to you striving hard,

وَهُوَ يَخْشٰىۙ‏(9)

(9) And he fears,

فَاَنْتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهّٰى‌ۚ‏(10)

(10) From him will you divert yourself.

كَلَّاۤ اِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ ۚ‏(11)

(11) Nay! surely it is an admonishment.

فَمَنْ شَآءَ ذَكَرَهٗ‌ۘ‏(12)

(12) So let him who pleases mind it.

فِىْ صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۙ‏(13)

(13) In honored books,

مَّرْفُوْعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ ۭۙ‏(14)

(14) Exalted, purified,

بِاَيْدِىْ سَفَرَةٍۙ‏(15)

(15) In the hands of scribes

كِرَامٍۢ بَرَرَةٍؕ‏(16)

(16) Noble, virtuous.

قُتِلَ الْاِنْسَانُ مَاۤ اَكْفَرَهٗؕ‏(17)

(17) Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he!

مِنْ اَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهٗؕ‏(18)

(18) Of what thing did He create him?

مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍؕ خَلَقَهٗ فَقَدَّرَهٗ ۙ‏(19)

(19) Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure,

ثُمَّ السَّبِيْلَ يَسَّرَهٗۙ‏(20)

(20) Then (as for) the way-- He has made it easy (for him)

ثُمَّ اَمَاتَهٗ فَاَقْبَرَهٗۙ‏(21)

(21) Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave,

ثُمَّ اِذَا شَآءَ اَنْشَرَهٗؕ‏(22)

(22) Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again.

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَاۤ اَمَرَهٗؕ‏(23)

(23) Nay; but he has not done what He bade him.

فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْاِنْسَانُ اِلٰى طَعَامِهٖۤۙ‏(24)

(24) Then let man look to his food,

اَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَآءَ صَبًّا ۙ‏(25)

(25) That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance,

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْاَرْضَ شَقًّا ۙ‏(26)

(26) Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder,

فَاَنْۢبَتْنَا فِيْهَا حَبًّا ۙ‏(27)

(27) Then We cause to grow therein the grain,

وَّ عِنَبًا وَّقَضْبًا ۙ‏(28)

(28) And grapes and clover,

وَّزَيْتُوْنًا وَّنَخْلًا ؕ‏(29)

(29) And the olive and the palm,

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا ۙ‏(30)

(30) And thick gardens,

وَّفَاكِهَةً وَّاَبًّا ۙ‏(31)

(31) And fruits and herbage

مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِاَنْعَامِكُمْؕ‏(32)

(32) A provision for you and for your cattle.

فَاِذَا جَآءَتِ الصَّآخَّةُ‏(33)

(33) But when the deafening cry comes,

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ اَخِيْهِۙ‏(34)

(34) The day on which a man shall fly from his brother,

وَاُمِّهٖ وَاَبِيْهِۙ‏(35)

(35) And his mother and his father,

وَصَاحِبَتِهٖ وَبَنِيْهِؕ‏(36)

(36) And his spouse and his son--

لِكُلِّ امْرِیءٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَاْنٌ يُّغْنِيْهِؕ‏(37)

(37) Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him.

وُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ ۙ‏(38)

(38) (Many) faces on that day shall be bright,

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ ۚ‏(39)

(39) Laughing, joyous.

وَوُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ ۙ‏(40)

(40) And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust,

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ؕ‏(41)

(41) Darkness shall cover them.

اُولٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ‏(42)

(42) These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked.

SURAH AT-TAKWIR (THE COVERING UP)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

اِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْۙ‏(1)

(1) When the sun is covered,

وَاِذَا النُّجُوْمُ انْكَدَرَتْۙ‏(2)

(2) And when the stars darken,

وَاِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْۙ‏(3)

(3) And when the mountains are made to pass away,

وَاِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْۙ‏(4)

(4) And when the camels are left untended,

وَاِذَا الْوُحُوْشُ حُشِرَتْۙ‏(5)

(5) And when the wild animals are made to go forth,

وَاِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْۙ‏(6)

(6) And when the seas are set on fire,

وَاِذَا النُّفُوْسُ زُوِّجَتْۙ‏(7)

(7) And when souls are united,

وَاِذَا الْمَوْءٗدَةُ سُئِلَتْۙ‏(8)

(8) And when the female infant buried alive is asked

بِاَىِّ ذَنْۢبٍ قُتِلَتْ‌ۚ‏(9)

(9) For what sin she was killed,

وَاِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْۙ‏(10)

(10) And when the books are spread,

وَاِذَا السَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْۙ‏(11)

(11) And when the heaven has its covering removed,

وَاِذَا الْجَحِيْمُ سُعِّرَتْۙ‏(12)

(12) And when the hell is kindled up,

وَاِذَا الْجَنَّةُ اُزْلِفَتْۙ‏(13)

(13) And when the garden is brought nigh,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّاۤ اَحْضَرَتْؕ‏(14)

(14) Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared.

فَلَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِۙ‏(15)

(15) But nay! I swear by the stars,

الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِۙ‏(16)

(16) That run their course (and) hide themselves,

وَالَّيْلِ اِذَا عَسْعَسَۙ‏(17)

(17) And the night when it departs,

وَالصُّبْحِ اِذَا تَنَفَّسَۙ‏(18)

(18) And the morning when it brightens,

اِنَّهٗ لَقَوْلُ رَسُوْلٍ كَرِيْمٍۙ‏(19)

(19) Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger,

ذِىْ قُوَّةٍ عِنْدَ ذِى الْعَرْشِ مَكِيْنٍۙ‏(20)

(20) The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion,

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ اَمِيْنٍؕ‏(21)

(21) One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust.

وَ مَا صَاحِبُكُمْ بِمَجْنُوْنٍ‌ۚ‏(22)

(22) And your companion is not gone mad.

وَلَقَدْ رَاٰهُ بِالْاُفُقِ الْمُبِيْنِ‌ۚ‏(23)

(23) And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon.

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِيْنٍ‌ۚ‏(24)

(24) Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطٰنٍ رَّجِيْمٍۙ‏(25)

(25) Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan,

فَاَيْنَ تَذْهَبُوْنَؕ‏(26)

(26) Whither then will you go?

اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعٰلَمِيْنَۙ‏(27)

(27) It is naught but a reminder for the nations,

لِمَنْ شَآءَ مِنْكُمْ اَنْ يَّسْتَقِيْمَؕ‏(28)

(28) For him among you who pleases to go straight.

وَمَا تَشَآءُوْنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ يَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ‏(29)

(29) And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds.

SURAH AL-INFITAAR (THE CLEAVING ASUNDER)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

اِذَا السَّمَآءُ انْفَطَرَتْۙ‏(1)

(1) When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,

وَاِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انْتَثَرَتْۙ‏(2)

(2) And when the stars become dispersed,

وَاِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْۙ‏(3)

(3) And when the seas are made to flow forth,

وَاِذَا الْقُبُوْرُ بُعْثِرَتْۙ‏(4)

(4) And when the graves are laid open,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَاَخَّرَتْؕ‏(5)

(5) Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الْاِنْسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيْمِۙ‏(6)

(6) O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,

الَّذِىْ خَلَقَكَ فَسَوّٰٮكَ فَعَدَلَكَۙ‏(7)

(7) Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?

فِىْۤ اَىِّ صُوْرَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَؕ‏(8)

(8) Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.

كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُوْنَ بِالدِّيْنِۙ‏(9)

(9) Nay! but you give the lie to the Judgement day,

وَاِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحٰفِظِيْنَۙ‏(10)

(10) And most surely there are keepers over you

كِرَامًا كَاتِبِيْنَۙ‏(11)

(11) Honorable recorders,

يَعْلَمُوْنَ مَا تَفْعَلُوْنَ‏(12)

(12) They know what you do.

اِنَّ الْاَبْرَارَ لَفِىْ نَعِيْمٍۚ‏(13)

(13) Most surely the righteous are in bliss,

وَاِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِىْ جَحِيْمٍ ۚۖ‏(14)

(14) And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,

يَّصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّيْنِ‏(15)

(15) They shall enter it on the day of Judgement.

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِيْنَؕ‏(16)

(16) And they shall by no means be absent from it.

وَمَاۤ اَدْرٰٮكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّيْنِۙ‏(17)

(17) And what will make you realize what the day of Judgement is?

ثُمَّ مَاۤ اَدْرٰٮكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّيْنِؕ‏(18)

(18) Again, what will make you realize what the day of Judgement is?

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا‌ ؕ وَالْاَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ‏(19)

(19) The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.

SURAH AL-MUTAFFIN (THE DEFRAUDERS)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِيْنَۙ‏(1)

(1) Woe to the defrauders,

الَّذِيْنَ اِذَا اكْتَالُوْا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُوْنَۖ‏(2)

(2) Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,

وَاِذَا كَالُوْهُمْ اَوْ وَّزَنُوْهُمْ يُخْسِرُوْنَؕ‏(3)

(3) But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.

اَلَا يَظُنُّ اُولٰٓئِكَ اَنَّهُمْ مَّبْعُوْثُوْنَۙ‏(4)

(4) Do not these think that they shall be raised again

لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيْمٍۙ‏(5)

(5) For a mighty day,

يَّوْمَ يَقُوْمُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَؕ‏(6)

(6) The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?

كَلَّاۤ اِنَّ كِتٰبَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِىْ سِجِّيْنٍؕ‏(7)

(7) Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjin.

وَمَاۤ اَدْرٰٮكَ مَا سِجِّيْنٌؕ‏(8)

(8) And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?

كِتٰبٌ مَّرْقُوْمٌؕ‏(9)

(9) It is a written book.

وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَۙ‏(10)

(10) Woe on that day to the rejecters,

الَّذِيْنَ يُكَذِّبُوْنَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّيْنِؕ‏(11)

(11) Who give the lie to the day of Judgement.

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهٖۤ اِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ اَثِيْمٍۙ‏(12)

(12) And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one

اِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِ اٰيٰتُنَا قَالَ اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَؕ‏(13)

(13) When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.

كَلَّا‌ بَلْ رَانَ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ‏(14)

(14) Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.

كَلَّاۤ اِنَّهُمْ عَنْ رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوْبُوْنَ‌ؕ‏(15)

(15) Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.

ثُمَّ اِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا الْجَحِيْمِؕ‏(16)

(16) Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هٰذَا الَّذِىْ كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوْنَؕ‏(17)

(17) Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.

كَلَّاۤ اِنَّ كِتٰبَ الْاَبْرَارِ لَفِىْ عِلِّيِّيْنَؕ‏(18)

(18) Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyin.

وَمَاۤ اَدْرٰٮكَ مَا عِلِّيُّوْنَؕ‏(19)

(19) And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?

كِتٰبٌ مَّرْقُوْمٌۙ‏(20)

(20) It is a written book,

يَّشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُوْنَؕ‏(21)

(21) Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it.

اِنَّ الْاَبْرَارَ لَفِىْ نَعِيْمٍۙ‏(22)

(22) Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,

عَلَى الْاَرَآئِكِ يَنْظُرُوْنَۙ‏(23)

(23) On thrones, they shall gaze;

تَعْرِفُ فِىْ وُجُوْهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيْمِ‌ۚ‏(24)

(24) You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss.

يُسْقَوْنَ مِنْ رَّحِيْقٍ مَّخْتُوْمٍۙ‏(25)

(25) They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others).

خِتٰمُهٗ مِسْكٌ ‌ؕ وَفِىْ ذٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُوْنَ‏(26)

(26) The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.

وَ مِزَاجُهٗ مِنْ تَسْنِيْمٍۙ‏(27)

(27) And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,

عَيْنًا يَّشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُوْنَؕ‏(28)

(28) A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah).

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اَجْرَمُوْا كَانُوْا مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا يَضْحَكُوْنَ ۖ‏(29)

(29) Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.

وَاِذَا مَرُّوْا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُوْنَ ۖ‏(30)

(30) And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.

وَاِذَا انْقَلَبُوْۤا اِلٰٓى اَهْلِهِمُ انْقَلَبُوْا فَكِهِيْنَ ۖ‏(31)

(31) And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.

وَاِذَا رَاَوْهُمْ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ لَضَآلُّوْنَۙ‏(32)

(32) And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;

وَمَاۤ اُرْسِلُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ حٰفِظِيْنَۙ‏(33)

(33) And they were not sent to be keepers over them.

فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُوْنَۙ‏(34)

(34) So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;

عَلَى الْاَرَآئِكِۙ يَنْظُرُوْنَؕ‏(35)

(35) On thrones, they will look.

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوْا يَفْعَلُوْنَ‏(36)

(36) Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.

SURAH AL-INSHIQAQ (THE BURSTING ASUNDER)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

اِذَا السَّمَآءُ انْشَقَّتْۙ‏(1)

(1) When the heaven bursts asunder,

وَاَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْۙ‏(2)

(2) And obeys its Lord and it must.

وَاِذَا الْاَرْضُ مُدَّتْؕ‏(3)

(3) And when the earth is stretched,

وَاَلْقَتْ مَا فِيْهَا وَتَخَلَّتْۙ‏(4)

(4) And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,

وَاَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْؕ‏(5)

(5) And obeys its Lord and it must.

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الْاِنْسَانُ اِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلٰقِيْهِ‌ۚ‏(6)

(6) O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.

فَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِىَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيْنِهٖۙ‏(7)

(7) Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَّسِيْرًا ۙ‏(8)

(8) He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,

وَّيَنْقَلِبُ اِلٰٓى اَهْلِهٖ مَسْرُوْرًا ؕ‏(9)

(9) And he shall go back to his people joyful.

وَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِىَ كِتٰبَهٗ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهٖۙ‏(10)

(10) And as to him who is given his book behind his back,

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوْا ثُبُوْرًا ۙ‏(11)

(11) He shall call for perdition,

وَّيَصْلٰى سَعِيْرًا ؕ‏(12)

(12) And enter into burning fire.

اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فِىْۤ اَهْلِهٖ مَسْرُوْرًا ؕ‏(13)

(13) Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.

اِنَّهٗ ظَنَّ اَنْ لَّنْ يَّحُوْرَ ۛۚ‏(14)

(14) Surely he thought that he would never return.

بَلٰٓى ۛۚ اِنَّ رَبَّهٗ كَانَ بِهٖ بَصِيْرًا ؕ‏(15)

(15) Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.

فَلَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِۙ‏(16)

(16) But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,

وَالَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَۙ‏(17)

(17) And the night and that which it drives on,

وَالْقَمَرِ اِذَا اتَّسَقَۙ‏(18)

(18) And the moon when it grows full,

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍؕ‏(19)

(19) That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَۙ‏(20)

(20) But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,

وَاِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْاٰنُ لَا يَسْجُدُوْنَ ؕ ۩‏(21)

(21) And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?

بَلِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا يُكَذِّبُوْنَۖ‏(22)

(22) Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.

وَاللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوْعُوْنَۖ‏(23)

(23) And Allah knows best what they hide,

فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍۙ‏(24)

(24) So announce to them a painful punishment~

اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ اَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُوْنٍ‏(25)

(25) Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.

SURAH AL-BURUJ (THE MANSION OF STARS)

وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُوْدِۙ‏(2)

(2) And the promised day,

وَشَاهِدٍ وَّمَشْهُوْدٍؕ‏(3)

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُوْدِۙ‏(5)

(5) Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel,

اِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُوْدٌ ۙ‏(6)

(6) When they sat by it,

وَّهُمْ عَلٰى مَا يَفْعَلُوْنَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ شُهُوْدٌ ؕ‏(7)

(7) And they were witnesses of what they did with the believers.

وَمَا نَقَمُوْا مِنْهُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ يُّؤْمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ الْعَزِيْزِ الْحَمِيْدِۙ‏(8)

(8) And they did not take vengeance on them for aught except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised,

الَّذِىْ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ‌ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيْدٌ ؕ‏(9)

(9) Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness of all things.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوْبُوْا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيْقِؕ‏(10)

(10) Surely (as for) those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, then do not repent, they shall have the chastisement of hell, and they shall have the chastisement of burning.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتٌ تَجْرِىْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ ؕؔ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيْرُؕ‏(11)

(11) Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement.

اِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيْدٌ ؕ‏(12)

(12) Surely the might of your Lord is great.

اِنَّهٗ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيْدُ‌ ۚ‏(13)

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيْدُ ؕ‏(16)

(16) The great doer of what He will.

هَلْ اَتٰٮكَ حَدِيْثُ الْجُنُوْدِۙ‏(17)

(17) Has not there come to you the story of the hosts,

وَّاللّٰهُ مِنْ وَّرَآئِهِمْ مُّحِيْطٌۚ‏(20)

(20) And Allah encompasses them on every side.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْاٰنٌ مَّجِيْدٌ ۙ‏(21)

(21) Nay! it is a glorious Quran,

فِىْ لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوْظٍ‏(22)

(22) In a guarded tablet.

SURAH AT-TAARIQ (THE NIGHT-COMER)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

وَالسَّمَآءِ وَالطَّارِقِۙ‏(1)

(1) I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;

وَمَاۤ اَدْرٰٮكَ مَا الطَّارِقُۙ‏(2)

(2) And what will make you know what the comer by night is?

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُۙ‏(3)

(3) The star of piercing brightness;

اِنْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌؕ‏(4)

(4) There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.

فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْاِنْسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَؕ‏(5)

(5) So let man consider of what he is created:

خُلِقَ مِنْ مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍۙ‏(6)

(6) He is created of water pouring forth,

يَّخْرُجُ مِنْۢ بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَآئِبِؕ‏(7)

(7) Coming from between the back and the ribs.

اِنَّهٗ عَلٰى رَجْعِهٖ لَقَادِرٌؕ‏(8)

(8) Most surely He is able to return him (to life).

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَآئِرُۙ‏(9)

(9) On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,

فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ وَّلَا نَاصِرٍؕ‏(10)

(10) He shall have neither strength nor helper.

وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِۙ‏(11)

(11) I swear by the raingiving heavens,

وَالْاَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِۙ‏(12)

(12) And the earth splitting (with plants);

اِنَّهٗ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌۙ‏(13)

(13) Most surely it is a decisive word,

وَّمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِؕ‏(14)

(14) And it is no joke.

اِنَّهُمْ يَكِيْدُوْنَ كَيْدًا ۙ‏(15)

(15) Surely they will make a scheme,

وَّاَكِيْدُ كَيْدًا ۚۖ‏(16)

(16) And I (too) will make a scheme.

فَمَهِّلِ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ اَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا‏(17)

(17) So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.

SURAH AL-A’ALA (THE MOST HIGH)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْاَعْلَىۙ‏(1)

(1) Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,

الَّذِىْ خَلَقَ فَسَوّٰى ۙ‏(2)

(2) Who creates, then makes complete,

وَالَّذِىْ قَدَّرَ فَهَدٰى ۙ‏(3)

(3) And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal),

وَالَّذِىْۤ اَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعٰى ۙ‏(4)

(4) And Who brings forth herbage,

فَجَعَلَهٗ غُثَآءً اَحْوٰىؕ‏(5)

(5) Then makes it dried up, dust-colored.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسٰٓىۙ‏(6)

(6) We will make you recite so you shall not forget,

اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ اللّٰهُ‌ؕ اِنَّهٗ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفٰىؕ‏(7)

(7) Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرٰى ‌ۖ‌ۚ‏(8)

(8) And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.

فَذَكِّرْ اِنْ نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرٰىؕ‏(9)

(9) Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَّخْشٰىۙ‏(10)

(10) He who fears will mind,

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْاَشْقَىۙ‏(11)

(11) And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,

الَّذِىْ يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرٰى‌ۚ‏(12)

(12) Who shall enter the great fire;

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوْتُ فِيْهَا وَلَا يَحْيٰىؕ‏(13)

(13) Then therein he shall neither live nor die.

قَدْ اَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكّٰىۙ‏(14)

(14) He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself,

وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهٖ فَصَلّٰى‌ ؕ‏(15)

(15) And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُوْنَ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَاۖ‏(16)

(16) Nay! you prefer the life of this world,

وَالْاٰخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَّ اَبْقٰىؕ‏(17)

(17) While the hereafter is better and more lasting.

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَفِى الصُّحُفِ الْاُوْلٰىۙ‏(18)

(18) Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,

صُحُفِ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ وَمُوْسٰى‏(19)

(19) The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِىْ مِنْ جُوْعٍؕ‏(7)

(7) Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger.

وُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ ۙ‏(8)

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ ۙ‏(9)

(9) Well-pleased because of their striving,

فِىْ جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۙ‏(10)

(16) And carpets spread out.

اَفَلَا يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَى الْاِ بِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ‏(17)

(17) Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created?

وَاِلَى السَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ‏(18)

(18) And the heaven, how it is reared aloft,

وَاِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ‏(19)

(19) And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed,

وَاِلَى الْاَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ‏(20)

(20) And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse?

فَذَكِّرْ ؕ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مُذَكِّرٌ ؕ‏(21)

(21) Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder.

لَسْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمُصَۜيْطِرٍۙ‏(22)

(22) You are not a watcher over them;

اِلَّا مَنْ تَوَلّٰى وَكَفَرَۙ‏(23)

(23) But whoever turns back and disbelieves,

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللّٰهُ الْعَذَابَ الْاَكْبَرَؕ‏(24)

(24) Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.

اِنَّ اِلَيْنَاۤ اِيَابَهُمْۙ‏(25)

(25) Surely to Us is their turning back,

ثُمَّ اِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُمْ‏(26)

(26) Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account.

SURAH AL-FAJR (THE DAYBREAK)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

وَالْفَجْرِۙ‏(1)

(1) I swear by the daybreak,

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۙ‏(2)

(2) And the ten nights,

وَّالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِۙ‏(3)

(3) And the even and the odd,

وَالَّيْلِ اِذَا يَسْرِ‌ۚ‏(4)

(4) And the night when it departs.

هَلْ فِىْ ذٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِىْ حِجْرٍؕ‏(5)

(5) Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding.

اَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍۙ‏(6)

(6) Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad,

اِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِۙ‏(7)

(7) (The people of) Aram, possessors of lofty buildings,

الَّتِىْ لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى الْبِلَادِۙ‏(8)

(8) The like of which were not created in the (other) cities;

وَثَمُوْدَ الَّذِيْنَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِۙ‏(9)

(9) And (with) Samood, who hewed out the rocks in the valley,

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى الْاَوْتَادِۙ‏(10)

(10) And (with) Firon, the lord of hosts,

الَّذِيْنَ طَغَوْا فِى الْبِلَادِۙ‏(11)

(11) Who committed inordinacy in the cities,

فَاَكْثَرُوْا فِيْهَا الْفَسَادَۙ‏(12)

(12) So they made great mischief therein?

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ ۙۚ‏(13)

(13) Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of the chastisement.

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِؕ‏(14)

(14) Most surely your Lord is watching.

فَاَمَّا الْاِنْسَانُ اِذَا مَا ابْتَلٰٮهُ رَبُّهٗ فَاَكْرَمَهٗ وَنَعَّمَهٗ ۙ فَيَقُوْلُ رَبِّىْۤ اَكْرَمَنِؕ‏(15)

(15) And as for man, when his Lord tries him, then treats him with honor and makes him lead an easy life, he says: My Lord honors me.

وَاَمَّاۤ اِذَا مَا ابْتَلٰٮهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهٗ ۙ فَيَقُوْلُ رَبِّىْۤ اَهَانَنِ‌ۚ‏(16)

(16) But when He tries him (differently), then straitens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me.

كَلَّا‌ بَلْ لَّا تُكْرِمُوْنَ الْيَتِيْمَۙ‏(17)

(17) Nay! but you do not honor the orphan,

وَلَا تَحٰٓضُّوْنَ عَلٰى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِيْنِۙ‏(18)

(18) Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,

وَتَاْكُلُوْنَ التُّرَاثَ اَكْلًا لَّمًّا ۙ‏(19)

(19) And you eat away the heritage, devouring (everything) indiscriminately,

وَّتُحِبُّوْنَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا ؕ‏(20)

(20) And you love wealth withexceeding love.

كَلَّاۤ اِذَا دُكَّتِ الْاَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا ۙ‏(21)

(21) Nay! when the earth is made to crumble to pieces,

وَّجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا ۚ‏(22)

(22) And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks,

وَجِاىْٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۙ‌ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَّتَذَكَّرُ الْاِنْسَانُ وَاَنّٰى لَهُ الذِّكْرٰىؕ‏(23)

(23) And hell is made to appear on that day. On that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then) avail him?

يَقُوْلُ يٰلَيْتَنِىْ قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى‌ۚ‏(24)

(24) He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life!

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهٗۤ اَحَدٌ ۙ‏(25)

(25) But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement,

وَّلَا يُوْثِقُ وَثَاقَهٗۤ اَحَدٌ ؕ‏(26)

(26) And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding.

يٰۤاَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُۖ‏(27)

(27) O soul that art at rest!

ارْجِعِىْۤ اِلٰى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً‌ ۚ‏(28)

(28) Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him),

فَادْخُلِىْ فِىْ عِبٰدِىۙ‏(29)

(29) So enter among My servants,

وَادْخُلِىْ جَنَّتِى‏(30)

(30) And enter into My garden.

SURAH AL-BALAD (THE CITY)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

لَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِهٰذَا الْبَلَدِۙ‏(1)

(1) Nay! I swear by this city.

وَاَنْتَ حِلٌّ ۢ بِهٰذَا الْبَلَدِۙ‏(2)

(2) And you shall be made free from obligation in this city--

وَوَالِدٍ وَّمَا وَلَدَ ۙ‏(3)

(3) And the begetter and whom he begot.

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ فِىْ كَبَدٍؕ‏(4)

(4) Certainly We have created man to be in distress.

اَيَحْسَبُ اَنْ لَّنْ يَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ اَحَدٌ‌ ۘ‏(5)

(5) Does he think that no one has power over him?

يَقُوْلُ اَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا ؕ‏(6)

(6) He shall say: I have wasted much wealth.

اَيَحْسَبُ اَنْ لَّمْ يَرَهٗۤ اَحَدٌ ؕ‏(7)

(7) Does he think that no one sees him?

اَلَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ عَيْنَيْنِۙ‏(8)

(8) Have We not given him two eyes,

وَلِسَانًا وَّشَفَتَيْنِۙ‏(9)

(9) And a tongue and two lips,

وَهَدَيْنٰهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ‌ۚ‏(10)

(10) And pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways?

فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَۖ‏(11)

(11) But he would not attempt the uphill road,

وَمَاۤ اَدْرٰٮكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ ؕ‏(12)

(12) And what will make you comprehend what the uphill road is?

فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ ۙ‏(13)

(13) (It is) the setting free of a slave,

اَوْ اِطْعٰمٌ فِىْ يَوْمٍ ذِىْ مَسْغَبَةٍ ۙ‏(14)

(14) Or the giving of food in a day of hunger

يَّتِيْمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ ۙ‏(15)

(15) To an orphan, having relationship,

اَوْ مِسْكِيْنًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ ؕ‏(16)

(16) Or to the poor man lying in the dust.

ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ ؕ‏(17)

(17) Then he is of those who believe and charge one another to show patience, and charge one another to show compassion.

اُولٰٓئِكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ؕ‏(18)

(18) These are the people of the right hand.

وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا هُمْ اَصْحٰبُ الْمَشْئَمَةِ ؕ‏(19)

(19) And (as for) those who disbelieve in our communications, they are the people of the left hand.

عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ‏(20)

(20) On them is fire closed over.

SURAH AS-SHAMS (THE SUN)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحٰٮهَاۙ‏(1)

(1) I swear by the sun and its brilliance,

وَالْقَمَرِ اِذَا تَلٰٮهَا  ۙ‏(2)

(2) And the moon when it follows the sun,

وَالنَّهَارِ اِذَا جَلّٰٮهَا ۙ‏(3)

(3) And the day when it shows it,

وَالَّيْلِ اِذَا يَغْشٰٮهَا ۙ‏(4)

(4) And the night when it draws a veil over it,

وَالسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنٰٮهَا ۙ‏(5)

(5) And the heaven and Him Who made it,

وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا طَحٰٮهَا ۙ‏(6)

(6) And the earth and Him Who extended it,

وَنَفْسٍ وَّمَا سَوّٰٮهَا ۙ‏(7)

(7) And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,

فَاَلْهَمَهَا فُجُوْرَهَا وَتَقْوٰٮهَا ۙ‏(8)

(8) Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it;

قَدْ اَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكّٰٮهَا ۙ‏(9)

(9) He will indeed be successful who purifies it,

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ دَسّٰٮهَا ؕ‏(10)

(10) And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُوْدُ بِطَغْوٰٮهَآ  ۙ‏(11)

(11) Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,

اِذِ انْۢبَعَثَ اَشْقٰٮهَا  ۙ‏(12)

(12) When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ نَاقَةَ اللّٰهِ وَسُقْيٰهَا ؕ‏(13)

(13) So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink.

فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَعَقَرُوْهَا  ۙفَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِذَنْۢبِهِمْ فَسَوّٰٮهَا  ۙ‏(14)

(14) But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground).

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبٰهَا‏(15)

(15) And He fears not its consequence.

SURAH AL-LAYL (THE NIGHT)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

وَالَّيْلِ اِذَا يَغْشٰىۙ‏(1)

(1) I swear by the night when it draws a veil,

وَالنَّهَارِ اِذَا تَجَلّٰىۙ‏(2)

(2) And the day when it shines in brightness,

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْاُنْثٰٓىۙ‏(3)

(3) And the creating of the male and the female,

اِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتّٰىؕ‏(4)

(4) Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).

فَاَمَّا مَنْ اَعْطٰى وَاتَّقٰىۙ‏(5)

(5) Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنٰىۙ‏(6)

(6) And accepts the best,

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهٗ لِلْيُسْرٰىؕ‏(7)

(7) We will facilitate for him the easy end.

وَاَمَّا مَنْۢ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنٰىۙ‏(8)

(8) And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),

وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنٰىۙ‏(9)

(9) And rejects the best,

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهٗ لِلْعُسْرٰىؕ‏(10)

(10) We will facilitate for him the difficult end.

وَمَا يُغْنِىْ عَنْهُ مَالُهٗۤ اِذَا تَرَدّٰىؕ‏(11)

(11) And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.

اِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدٰىۖ‏(12)

(12) Surely Ours is it to show the way,

وَاِنَّ لَنَا لَلْاٰخِرَةَ وَالْاُوْلٰى‏(13)

(13) And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.

فَاَنْذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظّٰى‌ۚ‏(14)

(14) Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:

لَا يَصْلٰٮهَاۤ اِلَّا الْاَشْقَىۙ‏(15)

(15) None shall enter it but the most unhappy,

الَّذِىْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰىؕ‏(16)

(16) Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْاَتْقَىۙ‏(17)

(17) And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),

الَّذِىْ يُؤْتِىْ مَالَهٗ يَتَزَكّٰى‌ۚ‏(18)

(18) Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself

وَمَا لِاَحَدٍ عِنْدَهٗ مِنْ نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزٰٓىۙ‏(19)

(19) And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,

اِلَّا ابْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْاَعْلٰى‌ۚ‏(20)

(20) Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضٰى‏(21)

(21) And he shall soon be well-pleased.

SURAH ADH-DHUHA ( THE BRIGHTNESS)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

وَالضُّحٰىۙ‏(1)

(1) I swear by the early hours of the day,

وَالَّيْلِ اِذَا سَجٰىۙ‏(2)

(2) And the night when it covers with darkness.

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلٰىؕ‏(3)

(3) Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,

وَلَلْاٰخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْاُوْلٰىؕ‏(4)

(4) And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيْكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضٰىؕ‏(5)

(5) And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.

اَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيْمًا فَاٰوٰى‏(6)

(6) Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآ لًّا فَهَدٰى‏(7)

(7) And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَاَغْنٰىؕ‏(8)

(8) And find you in want and make you to be free from want?

فَاَمَّا الْيَتِيْمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْؕ‏(9)

(9) Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).

وَاَمَّا السَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْؕ‏(10)

(10) And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),

وَاَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ‏(11)

(11) And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).

SURAH AL-INSHIRAH (THE EXPANSION)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

اَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَۙ‏(1)

(1) Have We not expanded for you your breast,

وَوَضَعْنَا عَنْكَ وِزْرَكَۙ‏(2)

(2) And taken off from you your burden,

الَّذِىْۤ اَنْقَضَ ظَهْرَكَۙ‏(3)

(3) Which pressed heavily upon your back,

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَؕ‏(4)

(4) And exalted for you your esteem?

فَاِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ۙ‏(5)

(5) Surely with difficulty is ease.

اِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ؕ‏(6)

(6) With difficulty is surely ease.

فَاِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْۙ‏(7)

(7) So when you are free, nominate.

وَاِلٰى رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب‏(8)

(8) And make your Lord your exclusive object.

SURAH AT-TEEN (THE FIG)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

وَالتِّيْنِ وَالزَّيْتُوْنِۙ‏(1)

(1) I swear by the fig and the olive,

وَطُوْرِ سِيْنِيْنَۙ‏(2)

(2) And mount Sinai,

وَهٰذَا الْبَلَدِ الْاَمِيْنِۙ‏(3)

(3) And this city made secure,

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ فِىْۤ اَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيْمٍ‏(4)

(4) Certainly We created man in the best make.

ثُمَّ رَدَدْنٰهُ اَسْفَلَ سَافِلِيْنَۙ‏(5)

(5) Then We render him the lowest of the low.

اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَلَهُمْ اَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُوْنٍؕ‏(6)

(6) Except those who believe and do good, so they shall have a reward never to be cut off.

فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعْدُ بِالدِّيْنِ‏(7)

(7) Then who can give you the lie after (this) about the Judgement?

اَلَيْسَ اللّٰهُ بِاَحْكَمِ الْحٰكِمِيْنَ‏(8)

(8) Is not Allah the best of the Judges?

SURAH AL-ALAQ (THE CLOT)

اِقْرَاْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِىْ خَلَقَ‌ۚ‏(1)

(1) Read in the name of your Lord Who created.

خَلَقَ الْاِنْسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ‌ۚ‏(2)

(2) He created man from a clot.

اِقْرَاْ وَرَبُّكَ الْاَكْرَمُۙ‏(3)

(3) Read and your Lord is Most Honorable,

الَّذِىْ عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِۙ‏(4)

(4) Who taught (to write) with the pen

عَلَّمَ الْاِنْسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْؕ‏(5)

(5) Taught man what he knew not.

كَلَّاۤ اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لَيَطْغٰٓىۙ‏(6)

(6) Nay! man is most surely inordinate,

اَنْ رَّاٰهُ اسْتَغْنٰىؕ‏(7)

(7) Because he sees himself free from want.

اِنَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعٰىؕ‏(8)

(8) Surely to your Lord is the return.

اَرَءَيْتَ الَّذِىْ يَنْهٰىؕ‏(9)

(9) Have you seen him who forbids

عَبْدًا اِذَا صَلّٰىؕ‏(10)

(10) A servant when he prays?

اَرَءَيْتَ اِنْ كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدٰٓىۙ‏(11)

(11) Have you considered if he were on the right way,

اَوْ اَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوٰىۙ‏(12)

(12) Or enjoined guarding (against evil)?

اَرَءَيْتَ اِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰىؕ‏(13)

(13) Have you considered if he gives the lie to the truth and turns (his) back?

اَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَرٰىؕ‏(14)

(14) Does he not know that Allah does see?

كَلَّا لَئِنْ لَّمْ يَنْتَهِ ۙ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِالنَّاصِيَةِۙ‏(15)

(15) Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead,

نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ‌ ۚ‏(16)

(16) A lying, sinful forehead.

فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهٗ ۙ‏(17)

(17) Then let him summon his council,

سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ ۙ‏(18)

(18) We too would summon the braves of the army.

كَلَّا ؕ لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ۩‏(19)

(19) Nay! obey him not, and make obeisance and draw nigh (to Allah).

(4) The angels and Jibreel descend in it by the permission of their Lord for every affair,

سَلٰمٌ  ۛهِىَ حَتّٰى مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ‏(5)

(5) Peace! it is till the break of the morning.

SURAH AL-BAYYINAH (THE CLEAR EVIDENCE)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

لَمْ يَكُنِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ وَالْمُشْرِكِيْنَ مُنْفَكِّيْنَ حَتّٰى تَاْتِيَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ ۙ‏(1)

(1) Those who disbelieved from among the followers of the Book and the polytheists could not have separated (from the faithful) until there had come to them the clear evidence:

رَسُوْلٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ يَتْلُوْا صُحُفًا مُّطَهَّرَةً ۙ‏(2)

(2) An apostle from Allah, reciting pure pages,

فِيْهَا كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌ ؕ‏(3)
