بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ عَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ

About what are they asking one another?

'an an-naba' al-'azim

About the great news -

الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ

alladhi hum fihi mukhtalifun

That over which they are in disagreement.

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

Then, no! They are going to know.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ مِهَادًا

a-lam naj'al al-arda mihada

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا

wal-jibal awtadan

And the mountains as stakes?

وَخَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا

wa-khalaqnakum azwaj

And We created you in pairs

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا

And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا

jaza'an wifaqan

An appropriate recompense.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا

innahum kanu la yarjun hisab

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كِذَّابًا

wa-kawa'ib atrab

And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا

wa-ka'san dihaqan

And a full cup.

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّابًا

la yasma'un fiha laghwan wa-la kidhdhaban

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

جَزَاءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَاءً حِسَابًا

jaza' min rabbik 'ata' hisab

[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,

رَّبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا

rabb as-samawat wal-ard wa-ma baynahuma ar-rahman la yamlikun minhu khitab

[From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا

yawm yaqum ar-ruh wal-mala'ikah saff la yatakallamun illa man adhina lahu ar-rahman wa-qal sawab

The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.

ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ مَآبًا

dhalika al-yawm al-haqq fa-man sha'a ittakhadha ila rabbih maban

That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.

إِنَّا أَنذَرْنَاكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ الْكَافِرُ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَابًا

inna andharnakum 'adhab qarib yawma yandhur al-mar' ma qaddamat yadahu wa-yaqul al-kafir ya laytani kuntu turab

Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
