The day will come when the sky will violently thunder.

The mountains will be wiped out.

وَتَسِيرُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَيْرًا

Woe on that day to the disbelievers—

فَوَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

who are in their blundering, heedless.

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى خَوْضٍ يَلْعَبُونَ

They will be herded into Gehenna, forcibly.

يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا

yawma yudaʿʿūna ilā nāri jahannama daʿʿa

هَٰذِهِ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ

hādhihi l-nāru allatī kuntum bihā tukadhibūn

Is this magic, or do you not see?

أَفَسِحْرٌ هَٰذَآ أَمْ أَنتُمْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ

afasiḥ'run hādhā am antum lā tub'ṣirūn

Suffer the burning. Whether you are patient or impatient, it will be the same for you. This is the just requital for what you did.

ٱصْلَوْهَا فَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ أَوْ لَا تَصْبِرُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ إِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

iṣ'lawhā fa-iṣ'birū aw lā taṣbirū sawāon ʿalaykum innamā tuj'zawna mā kuntum taʿmalūn

The righteous have deserved gardens and bliss.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ وَنَعِيمٍ

inna l-mutaqīna fī jannātin wanaʿīmi

They enjoy what their Lord has reserved for them; their Lord has spared them the retribution of Hell.

فَٰكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

fākihīna bimā ātāhum rabbuhum wawaqāhum rabbuhum ʿadhāba l-jaḥīm

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

kulū wa-ish'rabū hanīan bimā kuntum taʿmalūn

They relax on luxurious furnishings, and we match them with beautiful spouses.

مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّصْفُوفَةٍ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ

muttakiīna ʿalā sururin maṣfūfatin wazawwajnāhum biḥūrin ʿīni

For those who believed, and their children also followed them in belief, we will have their children join them. We never fail to reward them for any work. Every person is paid for what he did.

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَٰنٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَآ أَلَتْنَٰهُم مِّنْ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌ

wa-alladhīna āmanū wa-ittabaʿathum dhurriyyatuhum biīmānin alḥaqnā bihim dhurriyyatahum wamā alatnāhum min ʿamalihim min shayin kullu im'ri-in bimā kasaba rahīnu

We will supply them with fruits and meats that they love.

وَأَمْدَدْنَٰهُم بِفَٰكِهَةٍ وَلَحْمٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

wa-amdadnāhum bifākihatin walaḥmin mimmā yashtahūn

They will enjoy drinks that are never polluted, and never sinful to drink.

يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا لَّا لَغْوٌ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأْثِيمٌ

yatanāzaʿūna fīhā kasan lā laghwun fīhā walā tathīmu

Serving them will be servants like protected pearls.

وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌ لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَّكْنُونٌ

wayaṭūfu ʿalayhim ghil'mānun lahum ka-annahum lu'lu-on maknūnu

They will meet each other and reminisce among themselves.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

wa-aqbala baʿḍuhum ʿalā baʿḍin yatasāalūn

They will say, "We used to be kind and humble among our people.

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ فِىٓ أَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ

qālū innā kunnā qablu fī ahlinā mush'fiqīn

"GOD has blessed us, and has spared us the agony of ill winds.

فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَىٰنَا عَذَابَ ٱلسَّمُومِ

famanna l-lahu ʿalaynā wawaqānā ʿadhāba l-samūm

"We used to implore Him; He is the Most Kind, Most Merciful."

إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْبَرُّ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

innā kunnā min qablu nadʿūhu innahu huwa l-baru l-raḥīm

You shall remind the people. With your Lord's blessings upon you, you are neither a soothsayer, nor crazy.

فَذَكِّرْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَتِ رَبِّكَ بِكَاهِنٍ وَلَا مَجْنُونٍ

fadhakkir famā anta biniʿ'mati rabbika bikāhinin walā majnūni

They may say, "He is a poet; let us just wait until he is dead."

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٌ نَّتَرَبَّصُ بِهِۦ رَيْبَ ٱلْمَنُونِ

am yaqūlūna shāʿirun natarabbaṣu bihi rayba l-manūn

Say, "Go on waiting; I will wait along with you."

قُلْ تَرَبَّصُوا۟ فَإِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُتَرَبِّصِينَ

qul tarabbaṣū fa-innī maʿakum mina l-mutarabiṣīn

Is it their dreams that dictate their behavior, or are they naturally wicked?

أَمْ تَأْمُرُهُمْ أَحْلَٰمُهُم بِهَٰذَآ أَمْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ

am tamuruhum aḥlāmuhum bihādhā am hum qawmun ṭāghūn

Do they say, "He made it all up?" Instead, they are simply disbelievers.

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُۥ بَل لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ

am yaqūlūna taqawwalahu bal lā yu'minūn

Let them produce a Hadith like this, if they are truthful.

فَلْيَأْتُوا۟ بِحَدِيثٍ مِّثْلِهِۦٓ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَٰدِقِينَ

falyatū biḥadīthin mith'lihi in kānū ṣādiqīn

Were they created from nothing? Are they the creators?

أَمْ خُلِقُوا۟ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ

am khuliqū min ghayri shayin am humu l-khāliqūn

Did they create the heavens and the earth? Indeed, they have no certainty.

أَمْ خَلَقُوا۟ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ

am khalaqū l-samāwāti wal-arḍa bal lā yūqinūn

Do they possess the treasures of your Lord? Are they in control?

أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْمُصَۣيْطِرُونَ

am ʿindahum khazāinu rabbika am humu l-muṣayṭirūn

Do they climb a ladder that enables them to listen? Let their listeners show their proof.

أَمْ لَهُمْ سُلَّمٌ يَسْتَمِعُونَ فِيهِ فَلْيَأْتِ مُسْتَمِعُهُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ

am lahum sullamun yastamiʿūna fīhi falyati mus'tamiʿuhum bisul'ṭānin mubīni

Does He have daughters, while you have sons?

أَمْ لَهُ ٱلْبَنَٰتُ وَلَكُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ

am lahu l-banātu walakumu l-banūn

Are you asking them for any wage, and they are burdened thereby?

أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍ مُّثْقَلُونَ

am tasaluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muth'qalūn

Do they know the future, and have it recorded?

أَمْ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ

am ʿindahumu l-ghaybu fahum yaktubūn

Are they plotting and scheming? The disbelievers' schemes backfire against them.

أَمْ يُرِيدُونَ كَيْدًا فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْمَكِيدُونَ

am yurīdūna kaydan fa-alladhīna kafarū humu l-makīdūn

Do they have another god besides GOD? GOD be glorified, far above having partners.

أَمْ لَهُمْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

am lahum ilāhun ghayru l-lahi sub'ḥāna l-lahi ʿammā yush'rikūn

When they see masses falling from the sky, they will say, "Piled clouds!"

وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كِسْفًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ سَاقِطًا يَقُولُوا۟ سَحَابٌ مَّرْكُومٌ

wa-in yaraw kis'fan mina l-samāi sāqiṭan yaqūlū saḥābun markūmu

Disregard them until they meet the day in which they are struck.

فَذَرْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ يُصْعَقُونَ

fadharhum ḥattā yulāqū yawmahumu alladhī fīhi yuṣ'ʿaqūn

On that day, their schemes will not protect them, nor will they be helped.

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

yawma lā yugh'nī ʿanhum kayduhum shayan walā hum yunṣarūn

Those who transgress suffer retribution here, but most of them do not know.

وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ عَذَابًا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

wa-inna lilladhīna ẓalamū ʿadhāban dūna dhālika walākinna aktharahum lā yaʿlamūn

You shall steadfastly persevere in carrying out your Lord's command—you are in our eyes—and glorify and praise your Lord when you get up.

وَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

wa-iṣ'bir liḥuk'mi rabbika fa-innaka bi-aʿyuninā wasabbiḥ biḥamdi rabbika ḥīna taqūm

Also during the night glorify Him, and at dawn as the stars fade away.

وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَإِدْبَٰرَ ٱلنُّجُومِ

wamina al-layli fasabbiḥ'hu wa-id'bāra l-nujūm
