The Event

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ١

What are they questioning?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٢

The great event.

ٱلَّذِى هُمۡ فِيهِ مُخۡتَلِفُونَ ٣

That is disputed by them.

كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ ٤

Indeed, they will find out.

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ ٥

Most assuredly, they will find out.

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِهَـٰدً۬ا ٦

Did we not make the Earth habitable?

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَوۡتَادً۬ا ٧

And the mountains stabilizers?

وَخَلَقۡنَـٰكُمۡ أَزۡوَٲجً۬ا ٨

We created you as mates (for one another).

وَجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتً۬ا ٩

We created sleeping so you can rest.

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسً۬ا ١٠

We made the night a cover.

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلنَّہَارَ مَعَاشً۬ا ١١

And the day to seek provisions.

وَبَنَيۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعً۬ا شِدَادً۬ا ١٢

We built above you seven strong (Universes).

وَجَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجً۬ا وَهَّاجً۬ا ١٣

We created a bright lamp.

وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُعۡصِرَٲتِ مَآءً۬ ثَجَّاجً۬ا ١٤

We send down from the clouds pouring water.

لِّنُخۡرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّ۬ا وَنَبَاتً۬ا ١٥

To produce with it grains and plants.

وَجَنَّـٰتٍ أَلۡفَافًا ١٦

And various orchards.

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ كَانَ مِيقَـٰتً۬ا ١٧

The Day of Decision is appointed.

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجً۬ا ١٨

The day the horn is blown, and you come in throngs.

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَٲبً۬ا ١٩

The Heaven will be opened like gates.

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا ٢٠

The mountains will be removed, as if they were a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادً۬ا ٢١

Hell is inevitable.

لِّلطَّـٰغِينَ مَـَٔابً۬ا ٢٢

For the transgressors; it will be their abode.

لَّـٰبِثِينَ فِيہَآ أَحۡقَابً۬ا ٢٣

They stay in it for ages.

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيہَا بَرۡدً۬ا وَلَا شَرَابًا ٢٤

They never taste in it coolness, nor a drink.

إِلَّا حَمِيمً۬ا وَغَسَّاقً۬ا ٢٥

Only an inferno, and bitter food.

جَزَآءً۬ وِفَاقًا ٢٦

A just requital.

إِنَّہُمۡ ڪَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ حِسَابً۬ا ٢٧

They never expected to be held accountable.

وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا كِذَّابً۬ا ٢٨

And utterly rejected our signs.

وَكُلَّ شَىۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَـٰهُ ڪِتَـٰبً۬ا ٢٩

We counted everything in a record.

فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمۡ إِلَّا عَذَابًا ٣٠

Suffer the consequences; we will only increase your retribution.

إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا ٣١

Delicious drinks.

لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيہَا لَغۡوً۬ا وَلَا كِذَّٲبً۬ا ٣٥

They will never hear in it any nonsense or lies.

جَزَآءً۬ مِّن رَبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابً۬ا ٣٦

A reward from your Lord; a generous recompense.

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَہُمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ‌ۖ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابً۬ا ٣٧

Lord of the Heavens and the Earth, and everything between them. The Most Gracious. No one can abrogate His decisions.

يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةُ صَفًّ۬ا‌ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابً۬ا ٣٨

The day will come when the Spirit and the angels will stand in a row. None will speak except those permitted by The Most Gracious, and they will utter only what is right.

ذَٲلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلۡحَقُّ‌ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ مَـَٔابًا ٣٩

Such is the inevitable day. Whoever wills let him take refuge in his Lord.

إِنَّآ أَنذَرۡنَـٰكُمۡ عَذَابً۬ا قَرِيبً۬ا يَوۡمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ يَـٰلَيۡتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٲبَۢا ٤٠

We have sufficiently warned you about an imminent retribution. That is the day when everyone will examine what his hands have sent forth, and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish I were dust."
