1 A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen

1 Saala sailun biAAathabin waqiAAin

2 To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.

2 Lilkafireena laysa lahu dafiAAun

3 [It is] from Allah, owner of the ways of ascent.

3 Mina Allahi thee almaAAariji

4 The angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.

4 TaAAruju almalaikatu waalrroohu ilayhi fee yawmin kana miqdaruhu khamseena alfa sanatin

5 So be patient with gracious patience.

5 Faisbir sabran jameelan

6 Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

6 Innahum yarawnahu baAAeedan

7 But We see it [as] near.

7 Wanarahu qareeban

8 On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,

8 Yawma takoonu alssamao kaalmuhli

9 And the mountains will be like wool,

9 Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni

10 And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,

10 Wala yasalu hameemun hameeman

11 They will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children

11 Yubassaroonahum yawaddu almujrimu law yaftadee min AAathabi yawmiithin bibaneehi

12 And his wife and his brother

12 Wasahibatihi waakheehi

13 And his nearest kindred who shelter him

13 Wafaseelatihi allatee tuweehi

14 And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him.

14 Waman fee alardi jameeAAan thumma yunjeehi

15 No! Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell],

15 Kalla innaha latha

16 A remover of exteriors.

16 NazzaAAatan lilshshawa

17 It invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience]

17 TadAAoo man adbara watawalla

18 And collected [wealth] and hoarded.

18 WajamaAAa faawAAa

19 Indeed, mankind was created anxious:

19 Inna alinsana khuliqa halooAAan

20 When evil touches him, impatient,

20 Itha massahu alshsharru jazooAAan

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

21 Waitha massahu alkhayru manooAAan

22 Except the observers of prayer -

22 Illa almusalleena

23 Those who are constant in their prayer

23 Allatheena hum AAala salatihim daimoona

24 And those within whose wealth is a known right

24 Waallatheena fee amwalihim haqqun maAAloomun

25 For the petitioner and the deprived -

25 Lilssaili waalmahroomi

26 And those who believe in the Day of Recompense

26 Waallatheena yusaddiqoona biyawmi alddeeni

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

27 Waallatheena hum min AAathabi rabbihim mushfiqoona

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

28 Inna AAathaba rabbihim ghayru mamoonin

29 And those who guard their private parts

29 Waallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoona

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

30 Illa AAala azwajihim aw ma malakat aymanuhum fainnahum ghayru maloomeena

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

31 Famani ibtagha waraa thalika faolaika humu alAAadoona

32 And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive

32 Waallatheena hum liamanatihim waAAahdihim raAAoona

33 And those who are in their testimonies upright

33 Waallatheena hum bishahadatihim qaimoona

34 And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:

34 Waallatheena hum AAala salatihim yuhafithoona

35 They will be in gardens, honored.

35 Olaika fee jannatin mukramoona

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

36 Famali allatheena kafaroo qibalaka muhtiAAeena

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

37 AAani alyameeni waAAani alshshimali AAizeena

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

38 AyatmaAAu kullu imriin minhum an yudkhala jannata naAAeemin

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

39 Kalla inna khalaqnahum mimma yaAAlamoona

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

40 Fala oqsimu birabbi almashariqi waalmagharibi inna laqadiroona

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

41 AAala an nubaddila khayran minhum wama nahnu bimasbooqeena

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

42 Fatharhum yakhoodoo wayalAAaboo hatta yulaqoo yawmahumu allathee yooAAadoona

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

43 Yawma yakhrujoona mina alajdathi siraAAan kaannahum ila nusubin yoofidoona

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

44 KhashiAAatan absaruhum tarhaquhum thillatun thalika alyawmu allathee kanoo yooAAadoona
