But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -  

فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَىٰ  

The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,  

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ مَا سَعَىٰ  

And Hellfire will be exposed for ˹all˺ those who see -  

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَنْ يَرَىٰ  

So as for he who transgressed  

فَأَمَّا مَنْ طَغَىٰ  

And preferred the life of the world,  

وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا  

Then indeed, Hellfire will be ˹his˺ refuge.  

فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ  

But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from ˹unlawful˺ inclination,  

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ  

Then indeed, Paradise will be ˹his˺ refuge.  

فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ  

They ask you, ˹O Muhammad˺, about the Hour: when is its arrival?  

يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا  

In what ˹position˺ are you that you should mention it?  

فِيمَ أَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرَاهَا  

To your Lord is its finality.  

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهَاهَا  

You are only a warner for those who fear it.  

إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُنْذِرُ مَنْ يَخْشَاهَا  

It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained ˹in the world˺ except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.  

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا
