16 Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

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

Saheeh International

17 I will cover him with arduous torment.

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!

Saheeh International

18 Indeed, he thought and deliberated.

Transliteration

18 Innahu fakkara waqaddara

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

21 Then he thought.

Saheeh International

22 Then he frowned and scowled;

Transliteration

22 Thumma AAabasa wabasara

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

22 Then he frowned and he looked in a bad tempered way;

Saheeh International

Transliteration

23 Thumma adbara waistakbara

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

23 Then he turned back, and was proud.

Saheeh International

Saheeh International

30 Over it are nineteen [angels].

Transliteration

30 AAalayha tisAAata AAashara

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

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

Saheeh International

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.

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.

Saheeh International

32 Kalla waalqamari

Saheeh International

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

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).

Transliteration

36 Natheeran lilbashari

Transliteration

42 Ma salakakum fee saqara

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

42 "What has caused you to enter Hell?"

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

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

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

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

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

45 Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

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

Saheeh International

46 And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

Transliteration

46 Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

Saheeh International

47 Until there came to us the certainty."

Transliteration

47 Hatta atana alyaqeenu

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

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

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

48 Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

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

Saheeh International

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

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?

Saheeh International

50 As if they were alarmed donkeys

Transliteration

50 Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

50 As if they were (frightened) wild donkeys.

Saheeh International

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.

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).

Saheeh International

53 No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

Transliteration

53 Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

Transliteration

55 Faman shaa thakarahu

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

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

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).
