20 When evil touches him, impatient,

21 Waitha massahu alkhayru manooAAan

21 And when good touches him, withholding [of it],

22 Illa almusalleena

22 Except the observers of prayer -

23 Allatheena hum AAala salatihim daimoona

23 Those who are constant in their prayer

24 Waallatheena fee amwalihim haqqun maAAloomun

24 And those within whose wealth is a known right

25 Lilssaili waalmahroomi

25 For the petitioner and the deprived -

26 Waallatheena yusaddiqoona biyawmi alddeeni

26 And those who believe in the Day of Recompense

27 Waallatheena hum min AAathabi rabbihim mushfiqoona

27 And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -

28 Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -

29 Waallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoona

29 And those who guard their private parts

30 Illa AAala azwajihim aw ma malakat aymanuhum fainnahum ghayru maloomeena

30 Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed -

31 Famani ibtagha waraa thalika faolaika humu alAAadoona

31 But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -

32 Waallatheena hum liamanatihim waAAahdihim raAAoona

32 And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive

33 Waallatheena hum bishahadatihim qaimoona

33 And those who are in their testimonies upright

34 And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:

35 Olaika fee jannatin mukramoona

35 They will be in gardens, honored.

36 Famali allatheena kafaroo qibalaka muhtiAAeena

36 So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad],

37 AAani alyameeni waAAani alshshimali AAizeena

37 [To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?

38 AyatmaAAu kullu imriin minhum an yudkhala jannata naAAeemin

38 Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?

39 Kalla inna khalaqnahum mimma yaAAlamoona

39 No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.

40 Fala oqsimu birabbi almashariqi waalmagharibi inna laqadiroona

40 So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able

41 AAala an nubaddila khayran minhum wama nahnu bimasbooqeena

41 To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.

42 Fatharhum yakhoodoo wayalAAaboo hatta yulaqoo yawmahumu allathee yooAAadoona

42 So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -

43 Yawma yakhrujoona mina alajdathi siraAAan kaannahum ila nusubin yoofidoona

43 The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.

44 KhashiAAatan absaruhum tarhaquhum thillatun thalika alyawmu allathee kanoo yooAAadoona

44 Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.
