وَالصّٰٓفّٰتِ صَفًّا ۟ۙ
By those [angels] lined up in rows
فَالزّٰجِرٰتِ زَجْرًا ۟ۙ
And those who drive [the clouds]
فَالتّٰلِیٰتِ ذِكْرًا ۟ۙ
And those who recite the message,
اِنَّ اِلٰهَكُمْ لَوَاحِدٌ ۟ؕ
Indeed, your God is One,
رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ الْمَشَارِقِ ۟ؕ
Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.
اِنَّا زَیَّنَّا السَّمَآءَ الدُّنْیَا بِزِیْنَةِ لْكَوَاكِبِ ۟ۙ
Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars
وَحِفْظًا مِّنْ كُلِّ شَیْطٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ ۟ۚ
And as protection against every rebellious devil
لَا یَسَّمَّعُوْنَ اِلَی الْمَلَاِ الْاَعْلٰی وَیُقْذَفُوْنَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ ۟ۗۖ
[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,
دُحُوْرًا وَّلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَّاصِبٌ ۟ۙ
Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,
اِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الْخَطْفَةَ فَاَتْبَعَهٗ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ ۟
Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].
فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ اَهُمْ اَشَدُّ خَلْقًا اَمْ مَّنْ خَلَقْنَا ؕ اِنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ طِیْنٍ لَّازِبٍ ۟
Then inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created them [i.e., men] from sticky clay.
بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَیَسْخَرُوْنَ ۪۟
But you wonder, while they mock,
وَاِذَا ذُكِّرُوْا لَا یَذْكُرُوْنَ ۪۟
And when they are reminded, they remember not.
وَاِذَا رَاَوْا اٰیَةً یَّسْتَسْخِرُوْنَ ۪۟
And when they see a sign, they ridicule.
وَقَالُوْۤا اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ ۟ۚۖ
And say, "This is not but obvious magic.
ءَاِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّعِظَامًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ ۟ۙ
When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
اَوَاٰبَآؤُنَا الْاَوَّلُوْنَ ۟ؕ
And our forefathers [as well]?"
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَاَنْتُمْ دَاخِرُوْنَ ۟ۚ
Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."
فَاِنَّمَا هِیَ زَجْرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ فَاِذَا هُمْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ ۟
It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.
وَقَالُوْا یٰوَیْلَنَا هٰذَا یَوْمُ الدِّیْنِ ۟
They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."
هٰذَا یَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ الَّذِیْ كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوْنَ ۟۠
[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."
اُحْشُرُوا الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا وَاَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوْا یَعْبُدُوْنَ ۟ۙ
[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship
مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ فَاهْدُوْهُمْ اِلٰی صِرَاطِ الْجَحِیْمِ ۟
Other than Allāh, and guide them to the path of Hellfire
وَقِفُوْهُمْ اِنَّهُمْ مَّسْـُٔوْلُوْنَ ۟ۙ
And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُوْنَ ۟
[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"
بَلْ هُمُ الْیَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُوْنَ ۟
But they, that Day, are in surrender.
وَاَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰی بَعْضٍ یَّتَسَآءَلُوْنَ ۟
And they will approach one another asking [i.e., blaming] each other.
قَالُوْۤا اِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَاْتُوْنَنَا عَنِ الْیَمِیْنِ ۟
They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."
قَالُوْا بَلْ لَّمْ تَكُوْنُوْا مُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟ۚ
They [i.e., the oppressors] will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ سُلْطٰنٍ ۚ بَلْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا طٰغِیْنَ ۟
And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.
فَحَقَّ عَلَیْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَاۤ ۖۗ اِنَّا لَذَآىِٕقُوْنَ ۟
So the word [i.e., decree] of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].
فَاَغْوَیْنٰكُمْ اِنَّا كُنَّا غٰوِیْنَ ۟
And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."
فَاِنَّهُمْ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ فِی الْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُوْنَ ۟
So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.
اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِیْنَ ۟
Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.
اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْۤا اِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمْ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ یَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ ۟ۙ
Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allāh," were arrogant
وَیَقُوْلُوْنَ اَىِٕنَّا لَتَارِكُوْۤا اٰلِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُوْنٍ ۟ؕ
And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"
بَلْ جَآءَ بِالْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ ۟
Rather, he [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.
اِنَّكُمْ لَذَآىِٕقُوا الْعَذَابِ الْاَلِیْمِ ۟ۚ
Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,
وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ اِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟ۙ
And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -
اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الْمُخْلَصِیْنَ ۟
But not the chosen servants of Allāh.
اُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُوْمٌ ۟ۙ
Those will have a provision determined -
فَوَاكِهُ ۚ وَهُمْ مُّكْرَمُوْنَ ۟ۙ
Fruits; and they will be honored
فِیْ جَنّٰتِ النَّعِیْمِ ۟ۙ
In gardens of pleasure
عَلٰی سُرُرٍ مُّتَقٰبِلِیْنَ ۟
On thrones facing one another.
یُطَافُ عَلَیْهِمْ بِكَاْسٍ مِّنْ مَّعِیْنٍ ۟ۙ
There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,
بَیْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشّٰرِبِیْنَ ۟ۚۖ
White and delicious to the drinkers;
لَا فِیْهَا غَوْلٌ وَّلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا یُنْزَفُوْنَ ۟
No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.
وَعِنْدَهُمْ قٰصِرٰتُ الطَّرْفِ عِیْنٌ ۟ۙ
And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes,
كَاَنَّهُنَّ بَیْضٌ مَّكْنُوْنٌ ۟
As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.
فَاَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰی بَعْضٍ یَّتَسَآءَلُوْنَ ۟
And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.
