ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 2

بَلۡ عَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَقَالَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَيۡءٌ عَجِيبٌ

(2) But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 3

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗاۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجۡعُۢ بَعِيدٞ

(3) When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant [i.e., unlikely] return."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 4

قَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مِنۡهُمۡۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَٰبٌ حَفِيظُۢ

(4) We know what the earth diminishes [i.e., consumes] of them, and with Us is a retaining record.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 5

بَلۡ كَذَّبُواْ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمۡ فَهُمۡ فِيٓ أَمۡرٖ مَّرِيجٍ

(5) But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused condition.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 6

أَفَلَمۡ يَنظُرُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوۡقَهُمۡ كَيۡفَ بَنَيۡنَٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٖ

(6) Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 7

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَدَدۡنَٰهَا وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجِۭ بَهِيجٖ

(7) And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 8

تَبۡصِرَةٗ وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبۡدٖ مُّنِيبٖ

(8) Giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allāh].

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 9

وَنَزَّلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ مُّبَٰرَكٗا فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّٰتٖ وَحَبَّ ٱلۡحَصِيدِ

(9) And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest

رِّزۡقٗا لِّلۡعِبَادِۖ وَأَحۡيَيۡنَا بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةٗ مَّيۡتٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡخُرُوجُ

(11) As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the emergence [i.e., resurrection].

(14) And the companions of the thicket and the people of Tubbaʿ. All denied the messengers, so My threat was justly fulfilled.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 15

أَفَعَيِينَا بِٱلۡخَلۡقِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي لَبۡسٖ مِّنۡ خَلۡقٖ جَدِيدٖ

(15) Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 16

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ وَنَعۡلَمُ مَا تُوَسۡوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفۡسُهُۥۖ وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنۡ حَبۡلِ ٱلۡوَرِيدِ

(16) And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer^[1528] to him than [his] jugular vein.

لَّقَدۡ كُنتَ فِي غَفۡلَةٖ مِّنۡ هَٰذَا فَكَشَفۡنَا عَنكَ غِطَآءَكَ فَبَصَرُكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ حَدِيدٞ

(22) [It will be said], "You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover,^[1531] so your sight, this Day, is sharp."

[1531]- Of heedlessness, or that which had sealed your hearing, your vision and your heart from guidance.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 23

وَقَالَ قَرِينُهُۥ هَٰذَا مَا لَدَيَّ عَتِيدٌ

(23) And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 24

أَلۡقِيَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ عَنِيدٖ

(24) [Allāh will say], "Throw into Hell every obstinate disbeliever,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 25

مَّنَّاعٖ لِّلۡخَيۡرِ مُعۡتَدٖ مُّرِيبٍ

(25) Preventer of good, aggressor, and doubter,

ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَأَلۡقِيَاهُ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلشَّدِيدِ

(26) Who made [as equal] with Allāh another deity; then throw him into the severe punishment."

(36) And how many a generation before them did We destroy who were greater than them in [striking] power and had explored throughout the lands. Is there any place of escape?
