عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ

About the awesome tiding [of resurrection]

AAani alnnaba-i alAAatheemi

Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]

Kalla sayaAAlamoona

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand

Thumma kalla sayaAAlamoona

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ مِهَادًا

HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you]

Alam najAAali al-arda mihadan

وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا

and the mountains [its] pegs

[a reward from] the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the Most Gracious! [And] none shall have it in their power to raise their voices unto Hi

Rabbi alssamawati waal-ardi wama baynahuma alrrahmani la yamlikoona minhu khitaban

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

on the Day when all [human] souls and all the angels will stand up in ranks: none will speak but he to whom the Most Gracious will have given leave; and [everyone] will say [only] what is right

Yawma yaqoomu alrroohu waalmala-ikatu saffan la yatakallamoona illa man athina lahu alrrahmanu waqala sawaban

ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ مَآبًا

That will be the Day of Ultimate Truth: whoever wills, then, let him take the path that leads towards his Sustainer

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

Verily, We have warned you of suffering near at hand - [suffering] on the Day when man shall [clearly] see what his hands have sent ahead, and when he who has denied the truth shall say, "Oh, would that I were mere dust...!"

Inna antharnakum AAathaban qareeban yawma yanthuru almaro ma qaddamat yadahu wayaqoolu alkafiru ya laytanee kuntu turaban
