8 Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

Transliteration

16 Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

16 Nay! Verily, he has been opposing Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations).

Pickthall

17 On him I shall impose a fearful doom.

Transliteration

17 Saorhiquhu saAAoodan

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

17 I shall oblige him to (climb a slippery mountain in the Hell-fire called As-Sa'ud, or) face a severe torment!

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

21 Then he thought.

Pickthall

22 Then frowned he and showed displeasure.

Transliteration

22 Thumma AAabasa wabasara

Transliteration

23 Thumma adbara waistakbara

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

25 In hatha illa qawlu albashari

Transliteration

28 La tubqee wala tatharu

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

29 Burning and blackening the skins!

Pickthall

30 Above it are nineteen.

Transliteration

30 AAalayha tisAAata AAashara

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

30 Over it are nineteen (angels as guardians and keepers of Hell).

Pickthall

31 We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling - block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude ? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.

Transliteration

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

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

31 And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire. And We have fixed their number (19) only as a trial for the disbelievers, in order that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may arrive at a certainty [that this Qur'an is the truth as it agrees with their Books regarding the number (19) which is written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and that the believers may increase in Faith (as this Qur'an is the truth), and that no doubt may be left for the people of the Scripture and the believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may say: "What Allah intends by this (curious) example ?" Thus Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none can know the hosts of your Lord but He. And this (Hell) is nothing else than a (warning) reminder to mankind.

Pickthall

32 Nay, by the Moon

Transliteration

32 Kalla waalqamari

Transliteration

34 Waalssubhi itha asfara

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

34 And by the dawn when it brightens.

Pickthall

35 Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents)

Transliteration

35 Innaha laihda alkubari

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

35 Verily, it (Hell, or their denial of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, or the Day of Resurrection) is but one of the greatest (signs).

Pickthall

36 As a warning unto men,

Transliteration

36 Natheeran lilbashari

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

36 A warning to mankind -

Pickthall

37 Unto him of you who will advance or hang back.

Transliteration

37 Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

37 To any of you that chooses to go forward (by working righteous deeds), or to remain behind (by committing sins).

Pickthall

38 Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds;

Transliteration

38 Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

38 Every person is a pledge for what he has earned,

Pickthall

39 Save those who will stand on the right hand.

Transliteration

39 Illa ashaba alyameeni

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

39 Except those on the Right, (i.e. the pious true believers of Islamic Monotheism).

Pickthall

40 In gardens they will ask one another

Transliteration

40 Fee jannatin yatasaaloona

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

40 In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another,

Pickthall

41 Concerning the guilty:

Transliteration

41 AAani almujrimeena

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

41 About Al-Mujrimun (polytheists, criminals, disbelievers), (And they will say to them):

Pickthall

42 What hath brought you to this burning ?

Transliteration

42 Ma salakakum fee saqara

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

42 "What has caused you to enter Hell?"

Pickthall

43 They will answer: We were not of those who prayed

Transliteration

43 Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

43 They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer the Salat (prayers),

Pickthall

44 Nor did we feed the wretched.

Transliteration

44 Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

44 "Nor we used to feed Al-Miskin (the poor);

Pickthall

45 We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,

Transliteration

45 Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

45 "And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allah hated) with vain talkers.

Pickthall

46 And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,

Transliteration

46 Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

46 And we used to belie the Day of Recompense,

Pickthall

47 Till the Inevitable came unto us.

Transliteration

47 Hatta atana alyaqeenu

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

47 "Until there came to us (the death) that is certain."

Pickthall

48 The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.

Transliteration

48 Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

48 So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them.

Pickthall

49 Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,

Transliteration

49 Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

49 Then what is wrong with them (i.e. the polytheists, the disbelievers) that they turn away from (receiving) admonition?

Pickthall

50 As they were frightened asses

Transliteration

50 Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

50 As if they were (frightened) wild donkeys.

Pickthall

51 Fleeing from a lion ?

Transliteration

51 Farrat min qaswaratin

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

51 Fleeing from a hunter, or a lion, or a beast of prey.

Pickthall

52 Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah).

Transliteration

52 Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

52 Nay, everyone of them desires that he should be given pages spread out (coming from Allah with a writing that Islam is the right religion, and Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم has come with the truth from Allah, the Lord of the heavens and earth).

Pickthall

53 Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter.

Transliteration

53 Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

Transliteration

54 Kalla innahu tathkiratun

Transliteration

55 Faman shaa thakarahu

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

55 So whosoever will (let him read it), and receive admonition (from it)!

Pickthall

56 And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.

Transliteration

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

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

56 And they will not receive admonition unless Allah wills; He (Allah) is the One, deserving that mankind should be afraid of, and should be dutiful to Him, and should not take any Ilah (god) along with Him, and He is the One Who forgives (sins).
