Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?
Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ
Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created?
And at the sky - how it is raised?
Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ
And the heaven, how it is reared aloft,
And at the mountains - how they are erected?
Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ
And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed,
And at the earth - how it is spread out?
Waila alardi kayfa sutihat
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ
And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse?
So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.
Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ
Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder.
You are not over them a controller.
Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ
You are not a watcher over them;
However, he who turns away and disbelieves -
Illa man tawalla wakafara
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ
But whoever turns back and disbelieves,
Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.
FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba alakbara
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ
Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.
Indeed, to Us is their return.
Inna ilayna iyabahum
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ
Surely to Us is their turning back,
Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم
Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account.
