15 Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda

Transliteration

16 Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan

17 Saorhiquhu saAAoodan

Transliteration

20 Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara

21 Then looked he,

Saheeh International

22 Then he frowned and scowled;

Transliteration

Saheeh International

24 Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu

Pickthall

24 And said: This is naught else than magic from of old;

Transliteration

25 In hatha illa qawlu albashari

Pickthall

25 This is naught else than speech of mortal man.

Transliteration

26 Saosleehi saqara

Saheeh International

30 Over it are nineteen [angels].

Transliteration

30 AAalayha tisAAata AAashara

Pickthall

30 Above it are nineteen.

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

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.

Saheeh International

Transliteration

Transliteration

35 Innaha laihda alkubari

Saheeh International

40 [Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

Transliteration

40 Fee jannatin yatasaaloona

Pickthall

40 In gardens they will ask one another

Saheeh International

41 About the criminals,

Transliteration

41 AAani almujrimeena

Pickthall

41 Concerning the guilty:

Saheeh International

42 [And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"

Transliteration

42 Ma salakakum fee saqara

Pickthall

42 What hath brought you to this burning ?

Saheeh International

43 They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

Transliteration

43 Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena

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

Saheeh International

44 Nor did we used to feed the poor.

Transliteration

44 Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

45 Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

46 And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

Transliteration

46 Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

Pickthall

46 And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,

Saheeh International

47 Until there came to us the certainty."

Transliteration

47 Hatta atana alyaqeenu

Pickthall

47 Till the Inevitable came unto us.

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

48 Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena

Pickthall

48 The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.

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

Pickthall

49 Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,

Saheeh International

50 As if they were alarmed donkeys

Transliteration

50 Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun

Pickthall

50 As they were frightened asses

Saheeh International

51 Fleeing from a lion?

Transliteration

51 Farrat min qaswaratin

Pickthall

51 Fleeing from a lion ?

Saheeh International

52 Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.

Transliteration

52 Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

53 No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

Transliteration

53 Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata

Saheeh International

54 No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

Transliteration

54 Kalla innahu tathkiratun

54 Nay, verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment.

Saheeh International

Transliteration

55 Faman shaa thakarahu

Pickthall

55 So whosoever will may heed.

Saheeh International

Pickthall

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