Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)!
Saheeh International
But for your Lord be patient.

But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and constant!
Saheeh International
And when the trumpet is blown,
Yusuf Ali
Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded,
Saheeh International
That Day will be a difficult day
Yusuf Ali
That will be - that Day - a Day of Distress, -
Saheeh International
For the disbelievers - not easy.

Far from easy for those without Faith.
Saheeh International
Leave Me with the one I created alone
Yusuf Ali
Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone! -
Saheeh International
And to whom I granted extensive wealth
Yusuf Ali
To whom I granted resources in abundance,
Saheeh International
And children present [with him]
Yusuf Ali
And sons to be by his side! -
Saheeh International
And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].
Yusuf Ali
To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable!
Saheeh International
Then he desires that I should add more.
Yusuf Ali
Yet is he greedy - that I should add (yet more); -
Saheeh International
No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.
Yusuf Ali
By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!
Saheeh International
I will cover him with arduous torment.
Yusuf Ali
Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!
Saheeh International
Indeed, he thought and deliberated.
Yusuf Ali
For he thought and he plotted; -
Saheeh International
So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
Yusuf Ali
And woe to him! How he plotted! -

Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
Yusuf Ali
Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted! -
Saheeh International
Then he considered [again];
Yusuf Ali
Then he looked round;
Saheeh International
Then he frowned and scowled;
Yusuf Ali
Then he frowned and he scowled;
Saheeh International
Then he turned back and was arrogant
Yusuf Ali
Then he turned back and was haughty;
Saheeh International
And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].
Yusuf Ali
Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;
Saheeh International
This is not but the word of a human being."
Yusuf Ali
"This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"

I will drive him into Saqar.
Yusuf Ali
Soon will I cast him into Hell - Fire!
Saheeh International
And what can make you know what is Saqar?
Yusuf Ali
And what will explain to thee what Hell - Fire is?
Saheeh International
It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],
Yusuf Ali
Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone! -
Saheeh International

Yusuf Ali
Darkening and changing the colour of man!
Saheeh International
Over it are nineteen [angels].
Yusuf Ali
Over it are Nineteen.
Saheeh International
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.
Yusuf Ali
And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers, - in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith, - and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.
Saheeh International

And by the Night as it retreateth,
Saheeh International
And [by] the morning when it brightens,
Yusuf Ali
And by the Dawn as it shineth forth, -
Saheeh International
Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]
Yusuf Ali
This is but one of the mighty (portents),
Saheeh International
As a warning to humanity -
Yusuf Ali
A warning to mankind, -
Saheeh International
To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.
Yusuf Ali
To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind; -
Saheeh International
Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained
Yusuf Ali
Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds.
Saheeh International
Except the companions of the right,
Yusuf Ali
Except the Companions of the Right Hand.
Saheeh International
[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other
Yusuf Ali
(They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other,
Saheeh International
About the criminals,
Yusuf Ali
And (ask) of the Sinners:
Saheeh International
[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"
Yusuf Ali
"What led you into Hell Fire?"
Saheeh International
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
Yusuf Ali

Yusuf Ali
"But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;
Saheeh International
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
Yusuf Ali
"And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
Saheeh International
Until there came to us the certainty."
Yusuf Ali
"Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."
Saheeh International
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
Yusuf Ali
Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them.
Saheeh International
Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away
Yusuf Ali
Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition? -
Saheeh International
As if they were alarmed donkeys
Yusuf Ali
As if they were affrighted asses,
Saheeh International
Fleeing from a lion?
Yusuf Ali
Fleeing from a lion!
Saheeh International
Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.
Yusuf Ali
Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!
Saheeh International
No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.
Yusuf Ali
By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter,
Saheeh International
No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder
Yusuf Ali
Nay, this surely is an admonition:
Saheeh International
Then whoever wills will remember it.
Yusuf Ali
Let any who will, keep it in remembrance!
Saheeh International
And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
Yusuf Ali
But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness.
