نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

أَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْخَالِقُونَ

Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?

بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ

bal nahnu mahrumun

Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?

لَوْ نَشَاءُ جَعَلْنَاهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ

law nasha'u ja'alnahu ujajan fa-lawla tashkurun

If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?

أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ النَّارَ الَّتِي تُورُونَ

fa-ra'aytum an-nar allati turun

And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

أَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَا أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنشِئُونَ

'a-antum ansha'tum shajarataha am nahn al-munshi'un

Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?

نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَاهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَاعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ

nahnu ja'alnaha tadhkirah wa-mata'a lil-muqwin

We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers,

فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ

fa-sabbih bism rabb al-'azim

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ

fa-la uqsimu bimawaqi' an-nujum

Then I swear by the setting of the stars,

وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ

wa-innahu la-qasamun law ta'lamun 'azim

And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.

إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ

innahu la-qur'an karim

Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an

فِي كِتَابٍ مَّكْنُونٍ

fi kitab maknun

In a Register well-protected;

لَّا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ

la yamassuhu illa al-mutahharun

None touch it except the purified.

تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

tanzil min rabb al-'alamin

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

أَفَبِهَـٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ

a-fabi-hadha al-hadith antum mudhinun

Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ

waj'aluna rizqakum annakum tukadhdhibun

And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?

فَلَوْلَا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ

fa-lawla idha balaghat al-hulqum

Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat

وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ

wa-antum hinadhin tanzurun

And you are at that time looking on -

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ

wa-nahnu aqrab ilayhi minhum wa-lakin la tubsirun

And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -

فَلَوْلَا إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ

fa-lawla in kuntum ghayra madinin

Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,

تَرْجِعُونَهَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ

tarji'unaha in kuntum sadiqin

Bring it back, if you should be truthful?

فَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ

fa-amma in kana min al-muqarrabin

And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,

فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ

fa-rawh wa-rayhan wa-jannat na'im

Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.

وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ

wa-amma in kana min ashab al-yamin

And if he was of the companions of the right,

فَسَلَامٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ

fa-salamun laka min ashab al-yamin

Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."

وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ الضَّالِّينَ

wa-amma in kana min al-mukadhdhibin ad-dallin

But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,

فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ

fanuzulun min hamim

Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ

wa-salatu jahim

And burning in Hellfire

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ الْيَقِينِ

inna hadha lahu haqq al-yaqin

Indeed, this is the true certainty,

فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ

fa-sabbih bism rabb al-'azim

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
