1 O you who are clothed!

1 O you who covers himself [with a garment],

1 Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru

2 Arise and warn,

2 Arise and warn

2 Qum faanthir

3 And your Lord do magnify,

3 And your Lord glorify

3 Warabbaka fakabbir

4 And your garments do purify,

4 And your clothing purify

4 Wathiyabaka fatahhir

5 And uncleanness do shun,

5 And uncleanliness avoid

5 Waalrrujza faohjur

6 And bestow not favors that you may receive again with increase,

6 And do not confer favor to acquire more

6 Wala tamnun tastakthiru

7 And for the sake of your Lord, be patient.

7 But for your Lord be patient.

7 Walirabbika faisbir

8 For when the trumpet is sounded,

8 And when the trumpet is blown,

8 Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori

9 That, at that time, shall be a difficult day,

9 That Day will be a difficult day

9 Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun

10 For the unbelievers, anything but easy.

10 For the disbelievers - not easy.

10 AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin

11 Leave Me and him whom I created alone,

11 Leave Me with the one I created alone

11 Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan

12 And give him vast riches,

12 And to whom I granted extensive wealth

12 WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan

13 And sons dwelling in his presence,

13 And children present [with him]

13 Wabaneena shuhoodan

14 And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably;

14 And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].

14 Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan

15 And yet he desires that I should add more!

15 Then he desires that I should add more.

15 Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda

16 By no means! surely he offers opposition to Our communications.

16 No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.

16 Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan

17 I will make a distressing punishment overtake him.

17 I will cover him with arduous torment.

17 Saorhiquhu saAAoodan

18 Surely he reflected and guessed,

18 Indeed, he thought and deliberated.

18 Innahu fakkara waqaddara

19 But may he be cursed how he plotted;

19 So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

19 Faqutila kayfa qaddara

20 Again, may he be cursed how he plotted;

20 Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

20 Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara

21 Then he looked,

21 Then he considered [again];

21 Thumma nathara

22 Then he frowned and scowled,

22 Then he frowned and scowled;

22 Thumma AAabasa wabasara

23 Then he turned back and was big with pride,

23 Then he turned back and was arrogant

23 Thumma adbara waistakbara

24 ~Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others);

24 And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].

24 Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu

25 This is naught but the word of a mortal.

25 This is not but the word of a human being."

25 In hatha illa qawlu albashari

26 I will cast him into hell.

26 I will drive him into Saqar.

26 Saosleehi saqara

27 And what will make you realize what hell is?

27 And what can make you know what is Saqar?

27 Wama adraka ma saqaru

28 It leaves naught nor does it spare aught.

28 It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],

28 La tubqee wala tatharu

29 It scorches the mortal.

29 Blackening the skins.

29 Lawwahatun lilbashari

30 Over it are nineteen.

30 Over it are nineteen [angels].

30 AAalayha tisAAata AAashara

31 And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.

31 And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.

31 Wama jaAAalna ashaba alnnari illa malaikatan wama jaAAalna AAiddatahum illa fitnatan lillatheena kafaroo liyastayqina allatheena ootoo alkitaba wayazdada allatheena amanoo eemanan wala yartaba allatheena ootoo alkitaba waalmuminoona waliyaqoola allatheena fee quloobihim maradun waalkafiroona matha arada Allahu bihatha mathalan kathalika yudillu Allahu man yashao wayahdee man yashao wama yaAAlamu junooda rabbika illa huwa wama hiya illa thikra lilbashari

32 Nay; I swear by the moon,

32 No! By the moon

32 Kalla waalqamari

33 And the night when it departs,

33 And [by] the night when it departs

33 Waallayli ith adbara

34 And the daybreak when it shines;

34 And [by] the morning when it brightens,

34 Waalssubhi itha asfara

35 Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),

35 Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]

35 Innaha laihda alkubari

36 A warning to mortals,

36 As a warning to humanity -

36 Natheeran lilbashari

37 To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind.

37 To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

37 Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara

38 Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns,

38 Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained

38 Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun

39 Except the people of the right hand,

39 Except the companions of the right,

39 Illa ashaba alyameeni

40 In gardens, they shall ask each other

40 [Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

40 Fee jannatin yatasaaloona

41 About the guilty:

41 About the criminals,

41 AAani almujrimeena

42 What has brought you into hell?

42 [And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"

42 Ma salakakum fee saqara

43 They shall say: We were not of those who prayed;

43 They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

43 Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena

44 And we used not to feed the poor;

44 Nor did we used to feed the poor.

44 Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena

45 And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.

45 And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

45 Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena

46 And we used to call the day of judgment a lie;

46 And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

46 Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

47 Till death overtook us.

47 Until there came to us the certainty."

47 Hatta atana alyaqeenu

48 So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.

48 So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.

48 Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena

49 What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition

49 Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

49 Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena

50 As if they were asses taking fright

50 As if they were alarmed donkeys

50 Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun

51 That had fled from a lion?

51 Fleeing from a lion?

51 Farrat min qaswaratin

52 Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out;

52 Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.

52 Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan

53 Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter.

53 No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

53 Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata

54 Nay! it is surely an admonition.

54 No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

54 Kalla innahu tathkiratun

55 So whoever pleases may mind it.

55 Then whoever wills will remember it.

55 Faman shaa thakarahu

56 And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.

56 And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.

56 Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati
