1 Of what do they ask one another?

1 AAamma yatasaaloona

2 About the great event,

2 AAani alnnabai alAAatheemi

3 About which they differ?

3 Allathee hum feehi mukhtalifoona

4 Nay! they shall soon come to know

4 Kalla sayaAAlamoona

5 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.

5 Thumma kalla sayaAAlamoona

6 Have We not made the earth an even expanse?

6 Alam najAAali alarda mihadan

7 And the mountains as projections (thereon)?

7 Waaljibala awtadan

8 And We created you in pairs,

8 Wakhalaqnakum azwajan

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

9 WajaAAalna nawmakum subatan

10 And We made the night to be a covering,

10 WajaAAalna allayla libasan

11 And We made the day for seeking livelihood.

11 WajaAAalna alnnahara maAAashan

12 And We made above you seven strong ones,

12 Wabanayna fawqakum sabAAan shidadan

13 And We made a shining lamp,

13 WajaAAalna sirajan wahhajan

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

14 Waanzalna mina almuAAsirati maan thajjajan

15 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs,

15 Linukhrija bihi habban wanabatan

16 And gardens dense and luxuriant.

16 Wajannatin alfafan

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

17 Inna yawma alfasli kana meeqatan

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

18 Yawma yunfakhu fee alssoori fatatoona afwajan

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

19 Wafutihati alssamao fakanat abwaban

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

20 Wasuyyirati aljibalu fakanat saraban

21 Surely hell lies in wait,

21 Inna jahannama kanat mirsadan

22 A place of resort for the inordinate,

22 Lilttagheena maaban

23 Living therein for ages.

23 Labitheena feeha ahqaban

24 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink

24 La yathooqoona feeha bardan wala sharaban

25 But boiling and intensely cold water,

25 Illa hameeman waghassaqan

26 Requital corresponding.

26 Jazaan wifaqan

27 Surely they feared not the account,

27 Innahum kanoo la yarjoona hisaban

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

28 Wakaththaboo biayatina kiththaban

29 And We have recorded everything in a book,

29 Wakulla shayin ahsaynahu kitaban

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

30 Fathooqoo falan nazeedakum illa AAathaban

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

31 Inna lilmuttaqeena mafazan

32 Gardens and vineyards,

32 Hadaiqa waaAAnaban

33 And voluptuous women of equal age;

33 WakawaAAiba atraban

34 And a pure cup.

34 Wakasan dihaqan

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

35 La yasmaAAoona feeha laghwan wala kiththaban

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

36 Jazaan min rabbika AAataan hisaban

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.

37 Rabbi alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma alrrahmani la yamlikoona minhu khitaban

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.

38 Yawma yaqoomu alrroohu waalmalaikatu saffan la yatakallamoona illa man athina lahu alrrahmanu waqala sawaban

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

39 Thalika alyawmu alhaqqu faman shaa ittakhatha ila rabbihi maaban

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!

40 Inna antharnakum AAathaban qareeban yawma yanthuru almaro ma qaddamat yadahu wayaqoolu alkafiru ya laytanee kuntu turaban
