ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 1

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

About what are they asking one another?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 2

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

About the momentous news^[1],

[1] i.e., the Resurrection.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 3

ٱلَّذِي هُمۡ فِيهِ مُخۡتَلِفُونَ

that which they differ about^[2].

[2] The pagans of Makkah denied the Qur’an, resurrection, and judgment. They differed as to whether the Qur’an was magic, fortune-telling, or poetry.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 4

كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ

No indeed; they will come to know.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 5

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِهَٰدٗا

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 7

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَوۡتَادٗا

And the mountains as stakes^[3],

[3] Mountains go deep below the surface like pegs and icebergs, stabilizing the earth and slowing tectonic movement.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 8

وَخَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا

and created you in pairs,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 9

وَجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتٗا

and made your sleep for rest,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 10

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسٗا

and made the night a covering^[4],

[4] Covering you in its darkness as garments cover you.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 11

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشٗا

and made the day for seeking a livelihood,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 12

وَبَنَيۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعٗا شِدَادٗا

and built above you seven mighty heavens,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 13

وَجَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجٗا وَهَّاجٗا

and made therein a blazing lamp,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 14

وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُعۡصِرَٰتِ مَآءٗ ثَجَّاجٗا

and sent down from the rainclouds abundant water,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 15

لِّنُخۡرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبّٗا وَنَبَاتٗا

so that We may produce thereby grains and vegetation,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 16

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلۡفَافًا

and gardens with dense foliage?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 17

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتٗا

Indeed, the Day of Judgment is a time appointed,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 18

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجٗا

the Day when the Trumpet will be blown, you will come forth in crowds,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 19

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَٰبٗا

and the sky will be opened up and will become gateways,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 20

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا

and the mountains will vanish, becoming like a mirage.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 21

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادٗا

Indeed, Hell is lying in wait,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 22

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابٗا

a resort for the transgressors,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 23

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحۡقَابٗا

wherein they will abide for endless ages.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 24

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرۡدٗا وَلَا شَرَابًا

They will neither taste therein any coolness nor any drink,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 25

إِلَّا حَمِيمٗا وَغَسَّاقٗا

except for scalding water and discharge of wounds,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 26

جَزَآءٗ وِفَاقًا

a fitting recompense^[5].

[5] To their disbelief and evil deeds.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 27

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ حِسَابٗا

Indeed, they did not expect a reckoning,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 28

وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابٗا

and utterly rejected Our verses.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 29

وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَٰهُ كِتَٰبٗا

But We have enumerated everything in a record^[6].

[6] i.e., a record of deeds.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 30

فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمۡ إِلَّا عَذَابًا

So taste [the punishment], for We will not increase you except in torment^[7].”

[7] The addressees are the dwellers of Hell.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 31

إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا

Indeed, the righteous will have salvation^[8],

[8] i.e., safety from Hell and winning Paradise.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 32

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعۡنَٰبٗا

gardens and vineyards,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 33

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 34

وَكَأۡسٗا دِهَاقٗا

and a full cup [of wine]^[9].

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 35

لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا كِذَّٰبٗا

They will not hear therein vain talk or lies –

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 36

جَزَآءٗ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابٗا

a reward and a generous gift from your Lord^[10],

[10] Or "a gift adequately calculated"; as a result of their righteous deeds as well as the ample generosity of Allah.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 37

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۖ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابٗا

[from] the Lord of the heavens and earth and all that is between them, the Most Compassionate; none will dare to speak to Him^[11].

[11] None can ask or plead on the Day of Judgment except by Allah's permission.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 38

يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفّٗاۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابٗا

On the Day when the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows; none will dare to speak, except those to whom the Most Compassionate granted permission, and they will only speak the truth.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 39

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا

That Day is sure to come. So whoever wills may seek a path leading to his Lord^[12].

[12] i.e., the path of guidance and righteous deeds.

إِنَّآ أَنذَرۡنَٰكُمۡ عَذَابٗا قَرِيبٗا يَوۡمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَٰبَۢا

Indeed, We have warned you of an imminent punishment on the Day when everyone will see what his hands have sent forth^[13], and the disbeliever will say, “Oh, I wish that I were dust!”
