By those ˹angels˺ lined up in rows

And those who drive ˹the clouds˺

And those who recite the message,

Indeed, your God is One,

Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

And as protection against every rebellious devil

˹So˺ they may not listen to the exalted assembly ˹of angels˺ and are pelted from every side,

Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

Except one who snatches ˹some words˺ by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing ˹in brightness˺.

Then inquire of them, ˹O Muhammad˺, "Are they a stronger ˹or more difficult˺ creation or those ˹others˺ We have created?" Indeed, We created men from sticky clay.

وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفࣰّا

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرࣰا

فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدࣱ

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ

وَحِفْظࣰا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنࣲ مَّارِدࣲ

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبࣲ

دُحُورࣰاۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابࣱ وَاصِبٌ

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابࣱ ثَاقِبࣱ

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينࣲ لَّازِبِۭ

But you wonder, while they mock,

And when they are reminded, they remember not.

And when they see a sign, they ridicule

And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

And our forefathers ˹as well˺?"

Say, "Yes, and you will be ˹rendered˺ contemptible."

It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."

˹They will be told˺, "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةࣰ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرࣱ مُّبِينٌ

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابࣰا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةࣱ وَٰحِدَةࣱ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ

وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

˹The angels will be ordered˺, "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship

۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ

˹The angels will be ordered˺, "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship

Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire

And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."

˹They will be asked˺, "What is ˹wrong˺ with you? Why do you not help each other?"

But they, that Day, are in surrender.

And they will approach one another blaming each other.

They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."

The oppressors will say, "Rather, you ˹yourselves˺ were not believers,

And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.

So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste ˹punishment˺.

And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."

So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant

And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"

Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the ˹previous˺ messengers.

Indeed, you ˹disbelievers˺ will be tasters of the painful punishment,

And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -

۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

وَقِفُوهُمْۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضࣲ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنِۭۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمࣰا طَٰغِينَ

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ

فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذࣲ فِي ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرࣲ مَّجْنُونِۭ

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

But not the chosen servants of Allah.

Those will have a provision determined -

Fruits; and they will be honored

In gardens of pleasure

On thrones facing one another.

There will be circulated among them a cup ˹of wine˺ from a flowing spring,

White and delicious to the drinkers;

No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.

And with them will be women limiting ˹their˺ glances, with large, ˹beautiful˺ eyes,

As if they were ˹delicate˺ eggs, well-protected.

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.

A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion ˹on earth˺

Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"

He will say, "Would you ˹care to˺ look?"

And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire.

He will say, "By Allah, you almost ruined me.

If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in ˹to Hell˺.

Then, are we not to die

Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"

Indeed, this is the great attainment.

For the like of this let the workers ˹on earth˺ work.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقࣱ مَّعْلُومࣱ

فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ

فِي جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

عَلَىٰ سُرُرࣲ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسࣲ مِّن مَّعِينِۭ

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةࣲ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلࣱ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ

وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينࣱ

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضࣱ مَّكْنُونࣱ

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضࣲ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

قَالَ قَآئِلࣱ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينࣱ

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابࣰا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِي سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ
