the Day ˹all˺ people will stand before the Lord of all worlds?

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and what will make you realize what Sijjîn is?—

Whenever Our revelations are recited to them, they say, “Ancient fables!”

Undoubtedly, they will be sealed off from their Lord on that Day.

Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawma-ithin lamahjooboona

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُو الْجَحِيمِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Moreover, they will surely burn in Hell,

Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ

and then be told, “This is what you used to deny.”

and what will make you realize what ’Illiyûn is?—

witnessed by those nearest ˹to Allah˺.

˹seated˺ on ˹canopied˺ couches, gazing around.

You will recognize on their faces the glow of delight.

TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi

يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

They will be given a drink of sealed, pure wine,

Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin

خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

whose last sip will smell like musk. So let whoever aspires to this strive ˹diligently˺.

Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona

وَمِزَاجُهُ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

And this drink’s flavour will come from Tasnîm—

Wamizajuhu min tasneemin

عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

a spring from which those nearest ˹to Allah˺ will drink.

AAaynan yashrabu biha almuqarraboona

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Indeed, the wicked used to laugh at the believers,

Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

wink to one another whenever they passed by,

Wa-itha marroo bihim yataghamazoona

وَإِذَا انقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and muse ˹over these exploits˺ upon returning to their own people.

Wa-itha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

And when they saw the faithful, they would say, “These ˹people˺ are truly astray,”

Wa-itha raawhum qaloo inna haola-i ladalloona

وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

even though they were not sent as keepers over the believers.

Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

But on that Day the believers will be laughing at the disbelievers,

Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona

عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

as they sit on ˹canopied˺ couches, looking on.

AAala al-ara-iki yanthuroona

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

˹The believers will be asked,˺ “Have the disbelievers ˹not˺ been paid back for what they used to do?”

Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
