بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ وَٱلذَّ ٰ⁠رِیَـٰتِ ذَرۡوࣰا

By the swift scatterers

فَٱلۡحَـٰمِلَـٰتِ وِقۡرࣰا

and the burden-bearers

فَٱلۡجَـٰرِیَـٰتِ یُسۡرࣰا

and the smooth runners

فَٱلۡمُقَسِّمَـٰتِ أَمۡرًا

and the partitioners,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقࣱ

surely that you are promised is true,

وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّینَ لَوَ ٰ⁠قِعࣱ

and surely the Doom is about to fall!

وَٱلسَّمَاۤءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡحُبُكِ

By heaven with all its tracks

إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِی قَوۡلࣲ مُّخۡتَلِفࣲ

surely you speak at variance,

یُؤۡفَكُ عَنۡهُ مَنۡ أُفِكَ

and perverted therefrom are some.

قُتِلَ ٱلۡخَرَّ ٰ⁠صُونَ

Perish the conjecturers

ٱلَّذِینَ هُمۡ فِی غَمۡرَةࣲ سَاهُونَ

who are dazed in perplexity

یَسۡـَٔلُونَ أَیَّانَ یَوۡمُ ٱلدِّینِ

asking, 'When shall be the Day of Doom?'

یَوۡمَ هُمۡ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ یُفۡتَنُونَ

Upon the day when they shall be tried at the Fire:

ذُوقُوا۟ فِتۡنَتَكُمۡ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِی كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

'Taste your trial! This is that you were seeking to hasten.'

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ فِی جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونٍ

Surely the godfearing shall be among gardens and fountains

ءَاخِذِینَ مَاۤ ءَاتَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ قَبۡلَ ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ مُحۡسِنِینَ

taking whatsoever their Lord has given them; they were good-doers before that.

كَانُوا۟ قَلِیلࣰا مِّنَ ٱلَّیۡلِ مَا یَهۡجَعُونَ

Little of the night would they slumber,

وَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ یَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ

and in the mornings they would ask for forgiveness;

وَفِیۤ أَمۡوَ ٰ⁠لِهِمۡ حَقࣱّ لِّلسَّاۤىِٕلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ

and the beggar and the outcast had a share in their wealth.

وَفِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ءَایَـٰتࣱ لِّلۡمُوقِنِینَ

In the earth are signs for those having sure faith;

وَفِیۤ أَنفُسِكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ

and in your selves; what, do you not see?

وَفِی ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ رِزۡقُكُمۡ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ

And in heaven is your provision, and that you are promised.

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقࣱّ مِّثۡلَ مَاۤ أَنَّكُمۡ تَنطِقُونَ

So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as surely true as that you have speech.

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِیثُ ضَیۡفِ إِبۡرَ ٰ⁠هِیمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِینَ

Hast thou received the story of the honoured guests of Abraham?

إِذۡ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَیۡهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمࣰاۖ قَالَ سَلَـٰمࣱ قَوۡمࣱ مُّنكَرُونَ

When they entered unto him, saying 'Peace!' he said 'Peace! You are a people unknown to me.'

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰۤ أَهۡلِهِۦ فَجَاۤءَ بِعِجۡلࣲ سَمِینࣲ

Then he turned to his household and brought a fattened calf,

فَقَرَّبَهُۥۤ إِلَیۡهِمۡ قَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

and he laid it before them saying, 'Will you not eat?'

فَأَوۡجَسَ مِنۡهُمۡ خِیفَةࣰۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفۡۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِیمࣲ

Then he conceived a fear of them. They said, 'Be not afraid!' And they gave him good tidings of a cunning boy.

فَأَقۡبَلَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ فِی صَرَّةࣲ فَصَكَّتۡ وَجۡهَهَا وَقَالَتۡ عَجُوزٌ عَقِیمࣱ

Then came forward his wife, clamouring, and she smote her face, and said, 'An old woman, barren!'

قَالُوا۟ كَذَ ٰ⁠لِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡحَكِیمُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ

They said, 'So says thy Lord; He is the All-wise, the All-knowing.'

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكُمۡ أَیُّهَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ

Said he, 'And what is your business, envoys?'

قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّاۤ أُرۡسِلۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمࣲ مُّجۡرِمِینَ

They said, 'We have been sent to a people of sinners,

لِنُرۡسِلَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةࣰ مِّن طِینࣲ

to loose upon them stones of clay

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ

marked with thy Lord for the prodigal.

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مَن كَانَ فِیهَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

So We brought forth such believers as were in it,

فَمَا وَجَدۡنَا فِیهَا غَیۡرَ بَیۡتࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِینَ

but We found not therein except one house of those that have surrendered themselves.

وَتَرَكۡنَا فِیهَاۤ ءَایَةࣰ لِّلَّذِینَ یَخَافُونَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِیمَ

And therein We left a sign to those who fear the painful chastisement.

وَفِی مُوسَىٰۤ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِسُلۡطَـٰنࣲ مُّبِینࣲ

And also in Moses, when We sent him unto Pharaoh, with a clear authority,

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكۡنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَـٰحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونࣱ

but he turned his back, with his court, saying, 'A sorcerer, or a man possessed!'

فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذۡنَـٰهُمۡ فِی ٱلۡیَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِیمࣱ

So We seized him and his hosts, and We cast them into the sea, and he blameworthy.

وَفِی عَادٍ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمُ ٱلرِّیحَ ٱلۡعَقِیمَ

And also in Ad, when We loosed against them the withering wind

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَیۡءٍ أَتَتۡ عَلَیۡهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتۡهُ كَٱلرَّمِیمِ

that left nothing it came upon, but made it as stuff decayed.

وَفِی ثَمُودَ إِذۡ قِیلَ لَهُمۡ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِینࣲ

And also in Thamood, when it was said to them, 'Take your enjoyment for a while!'

فَعَتَوۡا۟ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمۡ یَنظُرُونَ

Then they turned in disdain from the commandment of their Lord, and the thunderbolt took them and they themselves beholding

فَمَا ٱسۡتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مِن قِیَامࣲ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِینَ

and they were not able to stand upright, and were not helped.

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحࣲ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ قَوۡمࣰا فَـٰسِقِینَ

And the people of Noah before; surely they were an ungodly people.

وَٱلسَّمَاۤءَ بَنَیۡنَـٰهَا بِأَیۡی۟دࣲ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ

And heaven -- We built it with might, and We extend it wide.

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَرَشۡنَـٰهَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَـٰهِدُونَ

And the earth -- We spread it forth; O excellent Smoothers!

وَمِن كُلِّ شَیۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَا زَوۡجَیۡنِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ

And of everything created We two kinds; haply you will remember.

فَفِرُّوۤا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّی لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِیرࣱ مُّبِینࣱ

Therefore flee unto God! I am a clear warner from Him to you.

وَلَا تَجۡعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَۖ إِنِّی لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِیرࣱ مُّبِینࣱ

And set not up with God another god; I am a clear warner from Him to you.

كَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ مَاۤ أَتَى ٱلَّذِینَ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌ

Even so not a Messenger came to those before them but they said, 'A sorcerer, or a man possessed!'

أَتَوَاصَوۡا۟ بِهِۦۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمࣱ طَاغُونَ

What, have they bequeathed it one to another? Nay, but they are an insolent people.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَمَاۤ أَنتَ بِمَلُومࣲ

So turn thou from them; thou wilt not be reproached.

وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

And remind; the Reminder profits the believers.

وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِیَعۡبُدُونِ

I have not created jinn and mankind except to serve Me.

مَاۤ أُرِیدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقࣲ وَمَاۤ أُرِیدُ أَن یُطۡعِمُونِ

I desire of them no provision, neither do I desire that they should feed Me.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِینُ

Surely God is the All-provider, the Possessor of Strength, the Ever-Sure.

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبࣰا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَـٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا یَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ

The evildoers shall have their portion, like the portion of their fellows; so let them not hasten Me!

فَوَیۡلࣱ لِّلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن یَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِی یُوعَدُونَ

So woe to the unbelievers, for that day of theirs that they are promised.
