Transliteration

Yusuf Ali

5 And all abomination shun!

Transliteration

5 Waalrrujza faohjur

Yusuf Ali

6 Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)!

Transliteration

6 Wala tamnun tastakthiru

Yusuf Ali

7 But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and constant!

Transliteration

7 Walirabbika faisbir

Yusuf Ali

8 Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded,

Transliteration

8 Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori

Yusuf Ali

9 That will be - that Day - a Day of Distress, -

Transliteration

9 Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun

Yusuf Ali

10 Far from easy for those without Faith.

Transliteration

10 AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin

Yusuf Ali

11 Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone! -

Transliteration

11 Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan

Yusuf Ali

12 To whom I granted resources in abundance,

Transliteration

12 WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan

Yusuf Ali

13 And sons to be by his side! -

Transliteration

13 Wabaneena shuhoodan

Yusuf Ali

14 To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable!

Transliteration

14 Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan

Yusuf Ali

15 Yet is he greedy - that I should add (yet more); -

Transliteration

15 Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda

Yusuf Ali

16 By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!

Transliteration

16 Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan

Yusuf Ali

17 Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!

Transliteration

17 Saorhiquhu saAAoodan

Yusuf Ali

18 For he thought and he plotted; -

Transliteration

18 Innahu fakkara waqaddara

Yusuf Ali

19 And woe to him! How he plotted! -

Transliteration

19 Faqutila kayfa qaddara

Yusuf Ali

20 Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted! -

Transliteration

20 Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara

Yusuf Ali

21 Then he looked round;

Transliteration

21 Thumma nathara

Yusuf Ali

22 Then he frowned and he scowled;

Transliteration

22 Thumma AAabasa wabasara

Yusuf Ali

23 Then he turned back and was haughty;

Transliteration

23 Thumma adbara waistakbara

Yusuf Ali

24 Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;

Transliteration

24 Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu

Yusuf Ali

25 "This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"

Transliteration

25 In hatha illa qawlu albashari

Yusuf Ali

26 Soon will I cast him into Hell - Fire!

Transliteration

26 Saosleehi saqara

Yusuf Ali

27 And what will explain to thee what Hell - Fire is?

Transliteration

27 Wama adraka ma saqaru

Yusuf Ali

28 Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone! -

Transliteration

28 La tubqee wala tatharu

Yusuf Ali

29 Darkening and changing the colour of man!

Transliteration

29 Lawwahatun lilbashari

Yusuf Ali

30 Over it are Nineteen.

Transliteration

30 AAalayha tisAAata AAashara

Yusuf Ali

31 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.

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

Yusuf Ali

32 Nay, verily: By the Moon,

Transliteration

32 Kalla waalqamari

Yusuf Ali

33 And by the Night as it retreateth,

Transliteration

33 Waallayli ith adbara

Yusuf Ali

34 And by the Dawn as it shineth forth, -

Transliteration

34 Waalssubhi itha asfara

Yusuf Ali

35 This is but one of the mighty (portents),

Transliteration

35 Innaha laihda alkubari

Yusuf Ali

36 A warning to mankind, -

Transliteration

36 Natheeran lilbashari

Yusuf Ali

37 To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind; -

Transliteration

37 Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara

Yusuf Ali

38 Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds.

Transliteration

38 Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun

Yusuf Ali

39 Except the Companions of the Right Hand.

Transliteration

39 Illa ashaba alyameeni

Yusuf Ali

40 (They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other,

Transliteration

40 Fee jannatin yatasaaloona

Yusuf Ali

41 And (ask) of the Sinners:

Transliteration

41 AAani almujrimeena

Yusuf Ali

42 "What led you into Hell Fire?"

Transliteration

42 Ma salakakum fee saqara

Yusuf Ali

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

Transliteration

43 Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena

Yusuf Ali

44 "Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;

Transliteration

44 Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena

Yusuf Ali

45 "But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;

Transliteration

45 Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena

Yusuf Ali

46 "And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,

Transliteration

46 Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

Yusuf Ali

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

Transliteration

47 Hatta atana alyaqeenu

Yusuf Ali

48 Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them.

Transliteration

48 Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena

Yusuf Ali

49 Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition? -

Transliteration

49 Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena

Yusuf Ali

50 As if they were affrighted asses,

Transliteration

50 Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun

Yusuf Ali

51 Fleeing from a lion!

Transliteration

51 Farrat min qaswaratin

Yusuf Ali

52 Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!

Transliteration

52 Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan

Yusuf Ali

53 By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter,

Transliteration

53 Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata

Yusuf Ali

54 Nay, this surely is an admonition:

Transliteration

54 Kalla innahu tathkiratun

Yusuf Ali

55 Let any who will, keep it in remembrance!

Transliteration

55 Faman shaa thakarahu

Yusuf Ali

56 But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness.

Transliteration

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