Juz 30

عَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ

'Amma Yatasaa-aloon

About what are they asking one another?

عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ

'Anin-nabaa-il 'azeem

About the great news -

الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ

Allazi hum feehi mukh talifoon

That over which they are in disagreement.

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

Kallaa sa y'alamoon

No! They are going to know.

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

Thumma kallaa sa y'alamoon

Then, no! They are going to know.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ مِهَادًا

Alam naj'alil arda mihaa da

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا

Wal jibaala au taada

And the mountains as stakes?

وَخَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا

Wa khalaq naakum azwaaja

And We created you in pairs

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا

Waja'alnan naumakum subata

And made your sleep [a means for] rest

وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا

Waja'alnal laila libasa

And made the night as clothing

وَجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا

Waja'alnan nahara ma 'aasha

And made the day for livelihood

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا

Wa banaina fauqakum sab 'an shi daada

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا

Waja'alna siraajaw wah haaja

And made [therein] a burning lamp

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعْصِرَاتِ مَاءً ثَجَّاجًا

Wa anzalna minal m'usiraati maa-an saj-jaaja

And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا

Linukh rija bihee habbaw wana baata

That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

وَجَنَّاتٍ أَلْفَافًا

Wa jan naatin alfafa

And gardens of entwined growth.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَاتًا

Inna yaumal-fasli kana miqaata

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا

Yauma yun fakhu fis-soori fataa toona afwaaja

The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

وَفُتِحَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَابًا

Wa futiha tis samaa-u fakaanat abwaaba

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

وَسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا

Wa suyyi raatil jibaalu fa kaanat saraaba

And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا

Inna jahan nama kaanat mirsaada

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

لِّلطَّاغِينَ مَآبًا

Lit taa gheena ma aaba

For the transgressors, a place of return,

لَّابِثِينَ فِيهَا أَحْقَابًا

Laa bitheena feehaa ahqaaba

In which they will remain for ages [unending].

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا

Laa ya zooqoona feeha bar daw walaa sharaaba

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا

Illa hamee maw-wa ghas saaqa

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

جَزَاءً وِفَاقًا

Jazaa-aw wi faaqa

An appropriate recompense.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا

Innahum kaanu laa yarjoona hisaaba

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كِذَّابًا

Wa kazzabu bi aayaa tina kizzaba

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ كِتَابًا

Wa kulla shai-in ahsai naahu kitaa ba

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

فَذُوقُوا فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا

Fa zooqoo falan-nazee dakum ill-laa azaaba

"So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا

Inna lil mutta qeena mafaaza

Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -

حَدَائِقَ وَأَعْنَابًا

Hadaa-iqa wa a'anaa ba

Gardens and grapevines

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا

Wa kaawa 'iba at raaba

And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا

Wa ka'san di haaqa

And a full cup.

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّابًا

Laa yasma'oona fiha lagh waw walaa kizzaba

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

جَزَاءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَاءً حِسَابًا

Jazaa-am mir-rabbika ataa-an hisaaba

[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,

رَّبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الرَّحْمَٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا

Rabbis samaa waati wal ardi wa maa baina humar rahmaani laa yam likoona minhu khi taaba

[From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.

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

Yauma yaqoo mur roohu wal malaa-ikatu saf-fal laa yata kalla moona illa man azina lahur rahmaanu wa qaala sawaaba

The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.

ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ مَآبًا

Zaalikal yaumul haqqu faman shaa-at ta khaaza ill-laa rabbihi ma-aaba

That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.

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

In naa anzar naakum azaaban qareebaiy-yauma yan zurul marr-u maa qaddamat yadaahu wa ya qoolul-kaafiru yaa lai tanee kuntu turaaba

Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"

وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا

Wan naazi 'aati gharqa

By those [angels] who extract with violence

وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا

Wan naa shi taati nashta

And [by] those who remove with ease

وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا

Wass saabi-haati sabha

And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming

فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا

Fass saabi qaati sabqa

And those who race each other in a race

فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا

Fal mu dab-bi raati amra

And those who arrange [each] matter,

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ

Yawma tarjufur raajifa

On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ

Tatba'u har raadifa

There will follow it the subsequent [one].

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ

Quloobuny-yau maaiziw-waaji-fa

Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ

Absaa ruhaa khashi'ah

Their eyes humbled.

يَقُولُونَ أَإِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ

Ya qoo loona a-inna lamar doo doona fil haafirah

They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً

Aizaa kunna 'izaa man-nakhirah

Even if we should be decayed bones?

قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ

Qaalu tilka izan karratun khaasirah.

They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ

Fa inna ma hiya zajratuw-waahida

Indeed, it will be but one shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ

Faizaa hum biss saahirah

And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰ

Hal ataaka hadeethu Musaa

Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

Iz nadaahu rabbuhu bil waadil-muqad dasi tuwa

When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,

اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ

Izhab ilaa fir'auna innahu taghaa.

"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ

Faqul hal laka ilaa-an tazakka.

And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ

Wa ahdi yaka ila rabbika fatakh sha

And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"

فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ

Fa araahul-aayatal kubra.

And he showed him the greatest sign,

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ

Fa kazzaba wa asaa.

But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ

Thumma adbara yas'aa.

Then he turned his back, striving.

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ

Fa hashara fanada.

And he gathered [his people] and called out

فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ

Faqala ana rabbu kumul-a'laa.

And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰ

Fa-akha zahul laahu nakalal aakhirati wal-oola.

So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ

Inna fee zaalika la'ibratal limaiy-yaksha

Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].

أَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ ۚ بَنَاهَا

A-antum a shaddu khalqan amis samaa-u banaaha.

Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا

Raf'a sam kaha fasaw waaha

He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا

Wa aghtasha lailaha wa akhraja duhaaha.

And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَاهَا

Wal arda b'ada zaalika dahaaha.

And after that He spread the earth.

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا

Akhraja minha maa-aha wa mar 'aaha.

He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا

Wal jibala arsaaha.

And the mountains He set firmly

مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ

Mataa'al lakum wali an 'aamikum.

As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَىٰ

Fa-izaa jaaa'atit taaam matul kubraa.

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَىٰ

Yauma Yata zakkarul insaanu ma sa'aa.

The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ

Wa burrizatil-jaheemu limany-yaraa.

And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ

Fa ammaa man taghaa.

So as for he who transgressed

وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

Wa aasaral hayaatad dunyaa

And preferred the life of the world,

فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ

Fa innal jaheema hiyal maawaa.

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ

Wa ammaa man khaafa maqaama Rabbihee wa nahan nafsa 'anil hawaa

But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ

Fa innal jannata hiyal maawaa

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا

Yas'aloonaka 'anis saa'ati ayyaana mursaahaa

They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا

Feema anta min zikraahaa

In what [position] are you that you should mention it?

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا

Ilaa Rabbika muntahaa haa

To your Lord is its finality.

إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا

Innamaaa anta munziru maiy yakshaahaa

You are only a warner for those who fear it.

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا

Ka annahum Yawma yarawnahaa lam yalbasooo illaa 'ashiyyatan aw duhaahaa

It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

'Abasa wa tawallaa.

The Prophet frowned and turned away

أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ

An jaa-ahul 'a-maa

Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ

Wa maa yudreeka la'allahu yaz zakkaa.

But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ

Au yaz zak karu fatanfa 'ahuz zikraa.

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ

Amma manis taghnaa

As for he who thinks himself without need,

فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ

Fa-anta lahu tasaddaa

To him you give attention.

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

Wa ma 'alaika allaa yaz zakka.

And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.

وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ

Wa amma man jaa-aka yas'a

But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ

Wahuwa yakhshaa,

While he fears [Allah],

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

Fa-anta 'anhu talah haa.

From him you are distracted.

كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ

Kalla innaha tazkirah

No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;

فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ

Faman shaa a zakarah

So whoever wills may remember it.

فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ

Fi suhufim mukar rama,

[It is recorded] in honored sheets,

مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ

Marfoo'atim mutah hara,

Exalted and purified,

بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ

Bi'aidee safara

[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,

كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ

Kiraamim bararah.

Noble and dutiful.

قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ

Qutilal-insanu maa akfarah.

Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.

مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ

Min aiyyi shai-in Khalaq

From what substance did He create him?

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ

Min nutfah; khalaqahu faqad-darah.

From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;

ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ

Thummas sabeela yas-sarah

Then He eased the way for him;

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ

Thumma amatahu fa-aqbarah

Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنشَرَهُ

Thumma iza shaa-a ansharah

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ

Kalla lamma yaqdi maa amarah.

No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ

Falyanzuril insanu ilaa ta-amih

Then let mankind look at his food -

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا

Anna sabab nalmaa-a sabba.

How We poured down water in torrents,

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا

Thumma sha qaqnal-arda shaqqa.

Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],

فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا

Fa ambatna feeha habba

And caused to grow within it grain

وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا

Wa 'inabaw-wa qadba

And grapes and herbage

وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا

Wa zaitoonaw wanakh la'

And olive and palm trees

وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا

Wa hadaa-iqa ghulba

And gardens of dense shrubbery

وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا

Wa faki hataw-wa abba.

And fruit and grass -

مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ

Mata'al-lakum wa li-an'amikum.

[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.

فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ

Faiza jaa-atis saakhah.

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ

Yauma yafir-rul mar-u min akheeh

On the Day a man will flee from his brother

وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ

Wa ummihee wa abeeh

And his mother and his father

وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ

Wa sahi batihee wa baneeh.

And his wife and his children,

لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ

Likul limri-im-minuhm yaumaa-izin shaa nuy-yughneeh

For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ

Wujoo huny-yauma-izim-musfira;

[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ

Dahi katum mustab shirah

Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ

Wa wujoohuy yauma-izin 'alaiha ghabar a

And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ

Tarhaquha qatarah.

Blackness will cover them.

أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ

Ulaa-ika humul-kafa ratul-fajarah.

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.

إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ

Izash shamsu kuwwirat

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انكَدَرَتْ

And when the mountains are removed

وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ

Bi ayyi zambin qutilat

For what sin she was killed

Wa izal jannatu uzlifat

And when Paradise is brought near,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا أَحْضَرَتْ

'Alimat nafsum maaa ahdarat

A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ

Falaaa uqsimu bil khunnas

So I swear by the retreating stars -

الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ

Al jawaaril kunnas

Those that run [their courses] and disappear -

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ

Wallaili izaa 'as'as

And by the night as it closes in

وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

Wassubhi izaa tanaffas

And by the dawn when it breathes

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ

Innahoo laqawlu rasoolin kareem

[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger

ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ

Zee quwwatin 'inda zil 'arshi makeen

[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ

Mutaa'in samma ameen

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ

Wa maa saahibukum bimajnoon

And your companion is not [at all] mad.

وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ

Wa laqad ra aahu bilufuqil mubeen

And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ

Wa maa huwa 'alal ghaibi bidaneen

And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَّجِيمٍ

Wa maa huwa biqawli shaitaanir rajeem

And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ

Fa ayna tazhaboon

So where are you going?

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ

It is not except a reminder to the worlds

لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ

For whoever wills among you to take a right course.

And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.

Izas samaaa'un fatarat

When the sky breaks apart
