neither cool nor beneficial.

lā bāridin walā karīmi

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ قَبۡلَ ذَ ٰلِكَ مُتۡرَفِینَ ۝٤٥

Before that (i.e. in the worldly life) they were well-off

innahum kānū qabla dhālika mut'rafīn

وَكَانُوا۟ یُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلۡحِنثِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ ۝٤٦

and they used to persist in great sin,

wakānū yuṣirrūna ʿalā l-ḥinthi l-ʿaẓīm

وَكَانُوا۟ یَقُولُونَ أَىِٕذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابࣰا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ ۝٤٧

and they used to say, “What! when we are dead and become (part of the) soil and bones, shall we indeed be raised (to life again),

wakānū yaqūlūna a-idhā mit'nā wakunnā turāban waʿiẓāman a-innā lamabʿūthūn

أَوَ ءَابَاۤؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ ۝٤٨

and our forefathers (too)?”

awaābāunā l-awalūn

قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ وَٱلۡءَاخِرِینَ ۝٤٩

Say, “Certainly, the ancients and the later,

qul inna l-awalīna wal-ākhirīn

لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِیقَـٰتِ یَوۡمࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ ۝٥٠

all will be gathered at the appointed time on the known day.”

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ أَیُّهَا ٱلضَّاۤلُّونَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبُونَ ۝٥١

Then all of you ! O you who err and deny,

thumma innakum ayyuhā l-ḍālūna l-mukadhibūn

لَءَاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرࣲ مِّن زَقُّومࣲ ۝٥٢

you will eat from the tree of Zaqqum

laākilūna min shajarin min zaqqūmi

فَمَالِءُونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ ۝٥٣

and fill your stomachs with it,

famāliūna min'hā l-buṭūn

فَشَـٰرِبُونَ عَلَیۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَمِیمِ ۝٥٤

then over it you will drink from boiling water

fashāribūna ʿalayhi mina l-ḥamīm

فَشَـٰرِبُونَ شُرۡبَ ٱلۡهِیمِ ۝٥٥

and you will drink (as) a thirsty camel drinks.

هَـٰذَا نُزُلُهُمۡ یَوۡمَ ٱلدِّینِ ۝٥٦

This will be their entertainment on the day of judgment.

hādhā nuzuluhum yawma l-dīn

نَحۡنُ خَلَقۡنَـٰكُمۡ فَلَوۡلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ ۝٥٧

We have created you, then why do you not accept the truth?

naḥnu khalaqnākum falawlā tuṣaddiqūn

أَفَرَءَیۡتُم مَّا تُمۡنُونَ ۝٥٨

Have you seen (the sperm) which you emit?

afara-aytum mā tum'nūn

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَخۡلُقُونَهُۥۤ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡخَـٰلِقُونَ ۝٥٩

Is it you who have created it or are We the Creators?

a-antum takhluqūnahu am naḥnu l-khāliqūn

نَحۡنُ قَدَّرۡنَا بَیۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوقِینَ ۝٦٠

We have destined death among you, and We are not to be overcome

naḥnu qaddarnā baynakumu l-mawta wamā naḥnu bimasbūqīn

عَلَىٰۤ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمۡثَـٰلَكُمۡ وَنُنشِئَكُمۡ فِی مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ۝٦١

in changing your likeness and producing you in (a state), the knowledge of which you do not have.

walaqad ʿalim'tumu l-nashata l-ūlā falawlā tadhakkarūn

وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتُمُ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ فَلَوۡلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٦٢

And you indeed know the first creation, so why are you not mindful?

Walaqad AAalimtumu alnnash-ata al-oola falawla tathakkaroona

أَفَرَءَیۡتُم مَّا تَحۡرُثُونَ ۝٦٣

Have you seen that which you sow?

afara-aytum mā taḥruthūn

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَزۡرَعُونَهُۥۤ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلزَّ ٰرِعُونَ ۝٦٤

Is it you who grow (the plants through) it or are We the Growers?

a-antum tazraʿūnahu am naḥnu l-zāriʿūn

لَوۡ نَشَاۤءُ لَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُ حُطَـٰمࣰا فَظَلۡتُمۡ تَفَكَّهُونَ ۝٦٥

Had We willed, We could have made it broken pieces, then you would start wondering,

law nashāu lajaʿalnāhu ḥuṭāman faẓaltum tafakkahūn

إِنَّا لَمُغۡرَمُونَ ۝٦٦

“We are (involved) in a lasting difficulty,

innā lamugh'ramūn

بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ ۝٦٧

no, we are deprived.”

bal naḥnu maḥrūmūn

أَفَرَءَیۡتُمُ ٱلۡمَاۤءَ ٱلَّذِی تَشۡرَبُونَ ۝٦٨

Have you seen the water which you drink?

afara-aytumu l-māa alladhī tashrabūn

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنزَلۡتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُزۡنِ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنزِلُونَ ۝٦٩

Is it you who send it down from the cloud or are We those Who send it down?

a-antum anzaltumūhu mina l-muz'ni am naḥnu l-munzilūn

لَوۡ نَشَاۤءُ جَعَلۡنَـٰهُ أُجَاجࣰا فَلَوۡلَا تَشۡكُرُونَ ۝٧٠

Had We willed We could have made it bitter, so why are you not grateful?

law nashāu jaʿalnāhu ujājan falawlā tashkurūn

أَفَرَءَیۡتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِی تُورُونَ ۝٧١

Have you seen the fire which you kindle?

afara-aytumu l-nāra allatī tūrūn

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنشَأۡتُمۡ شَجَرَتَهَاۤ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنشِءُونَ ۝٧٢

Is it you who produce the tree for it or are We the Producers?

a-antum anshatum shajaratahā am naḥnu l-munshiūn

نَحۡنُ جَعَلۡنَـٰهَا تَذۡكِرَةࣰ وَمَتَـٰعࣰا لِّلۡمُقۡوِینَ ۝٧٣

We have made it a reminder (probably of hell fire) and a provision for the needy (wayfarer).

naḥnu jaʿalnāhā tadhkiratan wamatāʿan lil'muq'wīn

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ ۝٧٤

So glorify the name of your Great Fosterer.

fasabbiḥ bi-is'mi rabbika l-ʿaẓīm

3 Judgment is Inevitable

۞ فَلَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِمَوَ ٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ ۝٧٥

So I do swear by the places of existence of the stars,

falā uq'simu bimawāqiʿi l-nujūm

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمࣱ لَّوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عَظِیمٌ ۝٧٦

and that certainly is a great oath, if you only knew.

wa-innahu laqasamun law taʿlamūna ʿaẓīmu

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرۡءَانࣱ كَرِیمࣱ ۝٧٧

It is certainly an honoured Quran,

innahu laqur'ānun karīmu

فِی كِتَـٰبࣲ مَّكۡنُونࣲ ۝٧٨

in a book that is protected,

fī kitābin maknūni

لَّا یَمَسُّهُۥۤ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُطَهَّرُونَ ۝٧٩

none touch it except those who are clean,

lā yamassuhu illā l-muṭaharūn

تَنزِیلࣱ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝٨٠

sent down from the Fosterer of the worlds.

tanzīlun min rabbi l-ʿālamīn

أَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِیثِ أَنتُم مُّدۡهِنُونَ ۝٨١

Then is it this statement which (is so important), that you take easy?

afabihādhā l-ḥadīthi antum mud'hinūn

وَتَجۡعَلُونَ رِزۡقَكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ ۝٨٢

And you make it your livelihood, that you (go on) denying it!

watajʿalūna riz'qakum annakum tukadhibūn

فَلَوۡلَاۤ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ ۝٨٣

So why is it not that when the (soul) reaches the throat,

falawlā idhā balaghati l-ḥul'qūm

وَأَنتُمۡ حِینَىِٕذࣲ تَنظُرُونَ ۝٨٤

and you are at that time looking on (waiting),

wa-antum ḥīna-idhin tanẓurūn

وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَیۡهِ مِنكُمۡ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُبۡصِرُونَ ۝٨٥

and We are nearer to the (dying person) than you, but not visible to you,

wanaḥnu aqrabu ilayhi minkum walākin lā tub'ṣirūn

فَلَوۡلَاۤ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَیۡرَ مَدِینِینَ ۝٨٦

so why is it not, if you are not bound by any law,

falawlā in kuntum ghayra madīnīn

تَرۡجِعُونَهَاۤ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ ۝٨٧

(that you) bring the (soul) back, if you are truthful?

tarjiʿūnahā in kuntum ṣādiqīn

فَأَمَّاۤ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِینَ ۝٨٨

Then if he is from among those near (to Allah),

fa-ammā in kāna mina l-muqarabīn

فَرَوۡحࣱ وَرَیۡحَانࣱ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِیمࣲ ۝٨٩

then (he will have) happiness and fragrance and the garden of bliss.

farawḥun warayḥānun wajannatu naʿīmi

وَأَمَّاۤ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَـٰبِ ٱلۡیَمِینِ ۝٩٠

And if he is from among the companions of the right hand,

wa-ammā in kāna min aṣḥābi l-yamīn

فَسَلَـٰمࣱ لَّكَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَـٰبِ ٱلۡیَمِینِ ۝٩١

then (it will be said), “Peace for you, from those of the right hand.”

fasalāmun laka min aṣḥābi l-yamīn

وَأَمَّاۤ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِینَ ٱلضَّاۤلِّینَ ۝٩٢

And if he is from among the deniers who are in error,

wa-ammā in kāna mina l-mukadhibīna l-ḍālīn

فَنُزُلࣱ مِّنۡ حَمِیمࣲ ۝٩٣

then the entertainment (for him) will be of boiling water

fanuzulun min ḥamīmi

وَتَصۡلِیَةُ جَحِیمٍ ۝٩٤

and entry in hell.

wataṣliyatu jaḥīmi

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلۡیَقِینِ ۝٩٥

This indeed is the certain truth.

inna hādhā lahuwa ḥaqqu l-yaqīn

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ ۝٩٦

So glorify the name of your Great Fosterer.
