Day 29 of 30

مُطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ

One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust.

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمْ بِمَجْنُونٍ

And your companion is not gone mad.

وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ

And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon.

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ

Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ

Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan,

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ

Whither then will you go?

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ

It is naught but a reminder for the nations,

لِمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَقِيمَ

For him among you who pleases to go straight.

وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds.

إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْفَطَرَتْ

When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,

وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انْتَثَرَتْ

And when the stars become dispersed,

وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ

And when the seas are made to flow forth,

وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ

And when the graves are laid open,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ

Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ

O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,

الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ

Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?

فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ

Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.

كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ

Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ

And most surely there are keepers over you

كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ

Honorable recorders,

يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ

They know what you do.

إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ

Most surely the righteous are in bliss,

وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ

And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ

They shall enter it on the day of judgment.

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ

And they shall by no means be absent from it.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?

ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ

The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.

وَيْلٌ لِلْمُطَفِّفِينَ

Woe to the defrauders,

الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ

Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَوْ وَزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ

But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَئِكَ أَنَّهُمْ مَبْعُوثُونَ

Do not these think that they shall be raised again

لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

For a mighty day,

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?

كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ

Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjin.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ

And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?

كِتَابٌ مَرْقُومٌ

It is a written book.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that day to the rejecters,

الَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ

Who give the lie to the day of judgment.

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ

And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one

إِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.

كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.

كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَنْ رَبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَمَحْجُوبُونَ

Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُو الْجَحِيمِ

Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.

كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْأَبْرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ

Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyin.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ

And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?

كِتَابٌ مَرْقُومٌ

It is a written book,

يَشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ

Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it.

إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ

Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,

عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنْظُرُونَ

On thrones, they shall gaze;

تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيمِ

You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss.

يُسْقَوْنَ مِنْ رَحِيقٍ مَخْتُومٍ

They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others).

خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ وَفِي ذَلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ

The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.

وَمِزَاجُهُ مِنْ تَسْنِيمٍ

And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,

عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ

A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah).

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ

Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ

And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.

وَإِذَا انْقَلَبُوا إِلَى أَهْلِهِمُ انْقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ

And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ

And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;

وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ

And they were not sent to be keepers over them.

فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ

So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;

عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنْظُرُونَ

On thrones, they will look.

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ

Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.

إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ

When the heaven bursts asunder,

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

And obeys its Lord and it must.

وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

And when the earth is stretched,

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

And obeys its Lord and it must.

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَى رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ

O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ

Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا

He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,

وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

And he shall go back to his people joyful.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ

And as to him who is given his book behind his back,

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا

He shall call for perdition,

وَيَصْلَى سَعِيرًا

And enter into burning fire.

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ يَحُورَ

Surely he thought that he would never return.

بَلَى إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا

Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

And the night and that which it drives on,

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

And the moon when it grows full,

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ

That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ

And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

And Allah knows best what they hide,

فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

So announce to them a painful punishment~

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ

I swear by the mansions of the stars,

وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ

And the promised day,

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ

And the bearer of witness and those against whom the witness is borne.

قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُ الْأُخْدُودِ

Cursed be the makers of the pit,

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ

Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel,

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ

When they sat by it,

وَهُمْ عَلَى مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ

And they were witnesses of what they did with the believers.

وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ

And they did not take vengeance on them for aught except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised,

الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness of all things.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ

Surely (as for) those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, then do not repent, they shall have the chastisement of hell, and they shall have the chastisement of burning.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُ

Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement.

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ

Surely the might of your Lord is great.

إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces,

وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ

And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,

ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدُ

Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious,

فَعَّالٌ لِمَا يُرِيدُ

The great doer of what He will.

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْجُنُودِ

Has not there come to you the story of the hosts,

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ

Of Firon and Samood?

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبٍ

Nay! those who disbelieve are in (the act of) giving the lie to the truth.

وَاللَّهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ مُحِيطٌ

And Allah encompasses them on every side.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَجِيدٌ

Nay! it is a glorious Quran,

فِي لَوْحٍ مَحْفُوظٍ

In a guarded tablet.

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ

I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ

And what will make you know what the comer by night is?

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ

The star of piercing brightness;

إِنْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ

There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.

فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْإِنْسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

So let man consider of what he is created:

خُلِقَ مِنْ مَاءٍ دَافِقٍ

He is created of water pouring forth,

يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ

Coming from between the back and the ribs.

إِنَّهُ عَلَى رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ

Most surely He is able to return him (to life).

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ

On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,

فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ

He shall have neither strength nor helper.

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ

I swear by the raingiving heavens,

وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ

And the earth splitting (with plants);

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ

Most surely it is a decisive word,

وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ

And it is no joke.

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا

Surely they will make a scheme,

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا

And I (too) will make a scheme.

فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا

So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.

سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى

Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,

الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّى

Who creates, then makes complete,

وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَى

And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal),

وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَى

And Who brings forth herbage,

فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَى

Then makes it dried up, dust-colored.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَى

We will make you recite so you shall not forget,

إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَى

Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَى

And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.

فَذَكِّرْ إِنْ نَفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَى

Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَى

He who fears will mind,

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى

And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,

الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَى

Who shall enter the great fire;

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَى

Then therein he shall neither live nor die.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّى

He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself,

وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّى

And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

Nay! you prefer the life of this world,

وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى

While the hereafter is better and more lasting.

إِنَّ هَذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَى

Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,

صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى

The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ

Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity?

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ

(Some) faces on that day shall be downcast,

عَامِلَةٌ نَاصِبَةٌ

Laboring, toiling,

تَصْلَى نَارًا حَامِيَةً

Entering into burning fire,

تُسْقَى مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ

Made to drink from a boiling spring.

لَيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ ضَرِيعٍ

They shall have no food but of thorns,

لَا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِنْ جُوعٍ

Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاعِمَةٌ

(Other) faces on that day shall be happy,

لِسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ

Well-pleased because of their striving,

فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ

In a lofty garden,

لَا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً

Wherein you shall not hear vain talk.

فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ

Therein is a fountain flowing,

فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَرْفُوعَةٌ

Therein are thrones raised high,

وَأَكْوَابٌ مَوْضُوعَةٌ

And drinking-cups ready placed,

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ

And cushions set in a row,

وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ

And carpets spread out.

أَفَلَا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ

Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created?

وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ

And the heaven, how it is reared aloft,

وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ

And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed,

وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ

And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse?

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُذَكِّرٌ

Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder.

لَسْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمُصَيْطِرٍ

You are not a watcher over them;

إِلَّا مَنْ تَوَلَّى وَكَفَرَ

But whoever turns back and disbelieves,

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ

Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ

Surely to Us is their turning back,

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُمْ

Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account.

وَالْفَجْرِ

I swear by the daybreak,

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ

And the ten nights,

وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ

And the even and the odd,

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ

And the night when it departs.

هَلْ فِي ذَلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِذِي حِجْرٍ

Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding.

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad,

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ

(The people of) Aram, possessors of lofty buildings,

الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ

The like of which were not created in the (other) cities;

وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ

And (with) Samood, who hewed out the rocks in the valley,

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ

And (with) Firon, the lord of hosts,

الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ

Who committed inordinacy in the cities,

فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ

So they made great mischief therein?

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ

Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of the chastisement.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ

Most surely your Lord is watching.

فَأَمَّا الْإِنْسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ

And as for man, when his Lord tries him, then treats him with honor and makes him lead an easy life, he says: My Lord honors me.

وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ

But when He tries him (differently), then straitens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me.

كَلَّا بَلْ لَا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ

Nay! but you do not honor the orphan,

وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ

Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,

وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَمًّا

And you eat away the heritage, devouring (everything) indiscriminately,

وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا

And you love wealth with exceeding love.

كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا

Nay! when the earth is made to crumble to pieces,

وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا

And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks,

وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى

And hell is made to appear on that day. On that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then) avail him?

يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي

He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life!

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ

But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement,

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ

And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding.

يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ

O soul that art at rest!

ارْجِعِي إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَّةً

Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him),

فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي

So enter among My servants,

وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي

And enter into My garden.

لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ

Nay! I swear by this city.

وَأَنْتَ حِلٌّ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ

And you shall be made free from obligation in this city--

وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ

And the begetter and whom he begot.

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ

Certainly We have created man to be in distress.

أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَنْ يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ

Does he think that no one has power over him?
