O you who covers himself [with a garment]

قُمۡ فَأَنذِرۡ ﴿٢﴾

Qum faanthir

Arise and warn

Leave Me with the one I created alone

وَجَعَلۡتُ لَهُۥ مَالٗا مَّمۡدُودٗا ﴿١٢﴾

Wajaʿaltu lahu malan mamdoodan

And to whom I granted extensive wealth

Wabaneena shuhoodan

And children present [with him]

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمۡهِيدٗا ﴿١٤﴾

Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan

And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life]

ثُمَّ يَطۡمَعُ أَنۡ أَزِيدَ ﴿١٥﴾

Thumma yatmaʿu an azeeda

Then he desires that I should add more

كَلَّآۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِأٓيَٰتِنَا عَنِيدٗا ﴿١٦﴾

Kalla innahu kana liayatina ʿaneedan

No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate

سَأُرۡهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا ﴿١٧﴾

Saorhiquhu saʿoodan

I will cover him with arduous torment

إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ ﴿١٨﴾

Innahu fakkara waqaddara

Indeed, he thought and deliberated

فَقُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ ﴿١٩﴾

Faqutila kayfa qaddara

So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ ﴿٢٠﴾

Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara

Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ ﴿٢١﴾

Thumma nathara

Then he considered [again]

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ ﴿٢٢﴾

Thumma ʿabasa wabasara

Then he frowned and scowled

Then he turned back and was arrogant

فَقَالَ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ يُؤۡثَرُ ﴿٢٤﴾

Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu

And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others]

إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوۡلُ ٱلۡبَشَرِ ﴿٢٥﴾

In hatha illa qawlu albashari

This is not but the word of a human being

سَأُصۡلِيهِ سَقَرَ ﴿٢٦﴾

Saosleehi saqara

I will drive him into Saqar

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ ﴿٢٧﴾

Wama adraka ma saqaru

And what can make you know what is Saqar

لَا تُبۡقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ ﴿٢٨﴾

It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned]

لَوَّاحَةٞ لِّلۡبَشَرِ ﴿٢٩﴾

Lawwahatun lilbashari

Blackening the skins

عَلَيۡهَا تِسۡعَةَ عَشَرَ ﴿٣٠﴾

ʿalayha tisʿata ʿashara

Over it are nineteen [angels]

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَـٰٓئِكَةٗۖ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا عِدَّتَهُمۡ إِلَّا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِيَسۡتَيۡقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَيَزۡدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِيمَٰنٗا وَلَا يَرۡتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡبَشَرِ ﴿٣١﴾

Wama jaʿalna ashaba alnnari illa malaikatan wama jaʿalna ʿiddatahum 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 yaʿlamu junooda rabbika illa huwa wama hiya illa thikra lilbashari

And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity

كَلَّا وَٱلۡقَمَرِ ﴿٣٢﴾

Kalla waalqamari

No! By the moon

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذۡ أَدۡبَرَ ﴿٣٣﴾

Waallayli ith adbara

And [by] the night when it departs

وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَآ أَسۡفَرَ ﴿٣٤﴾

Waalssubhi itha asfara

And [by] the morning when it brightens

إِنَّهَا لَإِحۡدَى ٱلۡكُبَرِ ﴿٣٥﴾

Innaha laihda alkubari

Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]

نَذِيرٗا لِّلۡبَشَرِ ﴿٣٦﴾

Natheeran lilbashari

As a warning to humanity

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمۡ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوۡ يَتَأَخَّرَ ﴿٣٧﴾

Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara

To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind

كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡ رَهِينَةٌ ﴿٣٨﴾

Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun

Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained

إِلَّآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ﴿٣٩﴾

Illa ashaba alyameeni

Except the companions of the right

فِي جَنَّـٰتٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿٤٠﴾

Fee jannatin yatasaaloona

[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

عَنِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ ﴿٤١﴾

ʿani almujrimeena

About the criminals

مَا سَلَكَكُمۡ فِي سَقَرَ ﴿٤٢﴾

Ma salakakum fee saqara

[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar

قَالُواْ لَمۡ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ ﴿٤٣﴾

Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena

They will say, "We were not of those who prayed

وَلَمۡ نَكُ نُطۡعِمُ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينَ ﴿٤٤﴾

Walam naku nutʿimu almiskeena

Nor did we used to feed the poor

وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلۡخَآئِضِينَ ﴿٤٥﴾

Wakunna nakhoodu maʿa alkhaideena

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it]

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿٤٦﴾

Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلۡيَقِينُ ﴿٤٧﴾

Hatta atana alyaqeenu

Until there came to us the certainty

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمۡ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّـٰفِعِينَ ﴿٤٨﴾

Fama tanfaʿuhum shafaʿatu alshshafiʿeena

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors

فَمَا لَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلتَّذۡكِرَةِ مُعۡرِضِينَ ﴿٤٩﴾

Fama lahum ʿani alttathkirati muʿrideena

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

كَأَنَّهُمۡ حُمُرٞ مُّسۡتَنفِرَةٞ ﴿٥٠﴾

Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun

As if they were alarmed donkeys

فَرَّتۡ مِن قَسۡوَرَةِۭ ﴿٥١﴾

Farrat min qaswaratin

Fleeing from a lion

بَلۡ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُؤۡتَىٰ صُحُفٗا مُّنَشَّرَةٗ ﴿٥٢﴾

Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan

Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about

كَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ ﴿٥٣﴾

Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذۡكِرَةٞ ﴿٥٤﴾

Kalla innahu tathkiratun

No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ﴿٥٥﴾

Faman shaa thakarahu

Then whoever wills will remember it

وَمَا يَذۡكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ هُوَ أَهۡلُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ وَأَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِ ﴿٥٦﴾

Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati

And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness
