بِسْمِ ٱللَّـهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ |  | In the name of God, the Almighty,1 the Merciful.
ٱقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِى غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُونَ |  | 212 1 Drawn nigh1 to men has their reckoning, while they in heedlessness are turning away;
مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِم مُّحْدَثٍ إِلَّا ٱسْتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ |  | 2 No remembrance1 from their Lord comes to them anew but they listen to it while they play,
لَاهِيَةً قُلُوبُهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّجْوَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ هَلْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ أَفَتَأْتُونَ ٱلسِّحْرَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ |  | 3 Their hearts distracted. And those who do wrong conceal their1 private conversation: “Is this2 save a mortal like you? Will you go to sorcery3 with open eyes?”4
قَالَ رَبِّى يَعْلَمُ ٱلْقَوْلَ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ |  | 4 Say thou:1 “My Lord knows what is said2 in the heaven and the earth; and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.”
بَلْ قَالُوٓا۟ أَضْغَـٰثُ أَحْلَـٰمٍۭ بَلِ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِـَٔايَةٍ كَمَآ أُرْسِلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ |  | 5 “But,”1 — they say — “a confused medley of dreams; but2 he has invented it; but3 he is a poet. So let him bring us a proof4 like that sent to the former peoples!”
مَآ ءَامَنَتْ قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهَآ أَفَهُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ |  | 6 No city believed before them among those We destroyed; will they then believe?1
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْ فَسْـَٔلُوٓا۟ أَهْلَ ٱلذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ |  | 7 And We sent before thee only men to whom We revealed1 — and ask the people of the remembrance,2 if you know not —
وَمَا جَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ جَسَدًا لَّا يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ خَـٰلِدِينَ |  | 8 And We gave them not bodies that ate not food, nor were they immortals;
ثُمَّ صَدَقْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْوَعْدَ فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُمْ وَمَن نَّشَآءُ وَأَهْلَكْنَا ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ |  | 9 Then fulfilled We the promise to them, and delivered them and whom We wished, and destroyed the committers of excess.
لَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَـٰبًا فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ |  | 10 We have sent down to you a Writ1 wherein is your remembrance;2 will you then not3 use reason!
وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَأَنشَأْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ |  | 11 And how many a city that was doing wrong1 did We utterly destroy,2 and produced after it another people!
فَلَمَّآ أَحَسُّوا۟ بَأْسَنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَرْكُضُونَ |  | 12 And when they perceived Our might, then did they flee from it.
لَا تَرْكُضُوا۟ وَٱرْجِعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَآ أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَمَسَـٰكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْـَٔلُونَ |  | 13 “Flee not! But return to that wherein you were given opulence, and your dwellings, that you might be questioned.”
قَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ |  | 14 They said: “Woe is us! We were wrongdoers.”1
فَمَا زَالَت تِّلْكَ دَعْوَىٰهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَـٰمِدِينَ |  | 15 And that, their call, ceased not until We made them a harvest, extinguished.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَـٰعِبِينَ |  | 16 And We created not the heaven and the earth and what is between them1 in play.
لَوْ أَرَدْنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَّٱتَّخَذْنَـٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّآ إِن كُنَّا فَـٰعِلِينَ |  | 17 Had We wished to take a diversion, We would have taken it from Ourselves — if We are the doers.1
بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِٱلْحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلْبَـٰطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُۥ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ وَلَكُمُ ٱلْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ |  | 18 But1 We hurl the truth2 against vanity and it triumphs3 over it, and then it passes away.4 And woe to you for what you describe!
وَلَهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ عِندَهُۥ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَلَا يَسْتَحْسِرُونَ |  | 19 And to Him belongs whoso is in the heavens and the earth; and those in His presence are not too proud for His service, nor do they grow weary,
يُسَبِّحُونَ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ لَا يَفْتُرُونَ |  | 20 They give glory1 night and day, and they flag not.
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَةً مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ هُمْ يُنشِرُونَ |  | 21 If1 they have taken gods from the earth who resurrect:2
لَوْ كَانَ فِيهِمَآ ءَالِهَةٌ إِلَّا ٱللَّـهُ لَفَسَدَتَا فَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّـهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ |  | 22 Were there in them1 gods save God, they2 would have been corrupted; and glory3 be to God, the Lord of the Throne, above what they describe!
لَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْـَٔلُونَ |  | 23 He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً قُلْ هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَـٰنَكُمْ هَـٰذَا ذِكْرُ مَن مَّعِىَ وَذِكْرُ مَن قَبْلِى بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ فَهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ |  | 24 If1 they have taken gods besides2 Him,3 say thou: “Bring your evidence. This4 is the remembrance5 of him with me,6 and the remembrance7 of him before me.”8 But9 most of them know not the truth,10 so they are turning away.11
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعْبُدُونِ |  | 25 And We sent not before thee any messenger save We revealed1 to him that: “There is no god save I; so serve Me.”
وَقَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَلَدًا سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُونَ |  | 26 And they say: “The Almighty1 has taken a son.” Glory2 be to Him! But3 honoured servants4
لَا يَسْبِقُونَهُۥ بِٱلْقَوْلِ وَهُم بِأَمْرِهِۦ يَعْمَلُونَ |  | 27 Precede Him not in word,1 but they act by His command.
يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ٱرْتَضَىٰ وَهُم مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهِۦ مُشْفِقُونَ |  | 28 He knows what is before them,1 and what following them, and they intercede not save for him with whom He is pleased; and they are from fear of Him in dread.
وَمَن يَقُلْ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّىٓ إِلَـٰهٌ مِّن دُونِهِۦ فَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ |  | 29 And whoso among them says: “I am a god besides1 Him!” — then that: We reward him with Gehenna; thus reward We the wrongdoers.2
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَـٰهُمَا وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ حَىٍّ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ |  | 30 Have not those who ignore warning1 considered that the heavens and the earth were stitched together,2 then We ripped them3 apart4 and made of water every living thing? Will they then not5 believe!
وَجَعَلْنَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ رَوَٰسِىَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِهِمْ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ |  | 31 And We made in the earth firm mountains lest it sway with them; and We made therein mountain passes as ways, that they might be guided;
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ سَقْفًا مَّحْفُوظًا وَهُمْ عَنْ ءَايَـٰتِهَا مُعْرِضُونَ |  | 32 And We made the sky a roof protected; but they, from its proofs,1 are turning away.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ |  | 33 And He it is that created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, each in a circuit1 swimming.2
وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ ٱلْخُلْدَ أَفَإِي۟ن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ ٱلْخَـٰلِدُونَ |  | 34 And We appointed not eternity for a mortal before thee; if then thou wilt die, then are they eternal?
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ وَنَبْلُوكُم بِٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ |  | 35 Every soul will taste death; and We will try you with evil and good as a means of denial;1 and to Us will you be returned.
وَإِذَا رَءَاكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى يَذْكُرُ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ هُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ |  | 36 And when those who ignore warning1 see thee, they take thee only in mockery: “Is this he who mentions your gods!”2 And they — of the remembrance3 of the Almighty4 — they are deniers.
خُلِقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ سَأُو۟رِيكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِى فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونِ |  | 37 Man was created of haste.1 I will show you My proofs,2 so ask Me not to make haste.
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ |  | 38 And they say: “When is this promise, if you1 be truthful?”2
لَوْ يَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ حِينَ لَا يَكُفُّونَ عَن وُجُوهِهِمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَلَا عَن ظُهُورِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ |  | 39 If those who ignore warning1 but knew the time when they will not restrain the Fire from their faces, nor from their backs, nor will they be helped!2
بَلْ تَأْتِيهِم بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ |  | 40 But1 it will come upon them unexpectedly, and render them speechless, and they will be unable to repel it, nor will they be granted respite.
وَلَقَدِ ٱسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِٱلَّذِينَ سَخِرُوا۟ مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ |  | 41 And messengers were mocked before thee; then there surrounded those who derided them that whereat they mocked.
قُلْ مَن يَكْلَؤُكُم بِٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ مِنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ بَلْ هُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ |  | 42 Say thou: “Who can protect you by night and day from the Almighty?”1 But2 they, from the remembrance3 of their Lord, are turning away.
أَمْ لَهُمْ ءَالِهَةٌ تَمْنَعُهُم مِّن دُونِنَا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَلَا هُم مِّنَّا يُصْحَبُونَ |  | 43 If1 they have gods to defend them besides2 Us:3 they are unable to help themselves, nor are they protected from Us.
بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْعُمُرُ أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّا نَأْتِى ٱلْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَآ أَفَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ |  | 44 But1 We gave these and their fathers enjoyment until life became long for them. Have they then not2 considered that We come to3 the earth, diminishing it from its extremities?4 Is it then they who will be the victors?
قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أُنذِرُكُم بِٱلْوَحْىِ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ |  | 45 Say thou: “I but warn you by revelation.”1 But the deaf hear not the call when they are warned.
وَلَئِن مَّسَّتْهُمْ نَفْحَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ يَـٰوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ |  | 46 And if there touch them a hint1 of the punishment of thy Lord, they will say: “Woe is us! We were wrongdoers.”2
وَنَضَعُ ٱلْمَوَٰزِينَ ٱلْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْـًٔا وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا وَكَفَىٰ بِنَا حَـٰسِبِينَ |  | 47 And We will set up the balances of equity1 for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be wronged in anything; and though2 it be the weight of a mustard seed,3 We will bring it. And sufficient are We as account-takers.
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ٱلْفُرْقَانَ وَضِيَآءً وَذِكْرًا لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ |  | 48 And We gave Moses and Aaron the Division,1 and an illumination, and a remembrance2 for those of prudent fear:3
ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَهُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ مُشْفِقُونَ |  | 49 Those who fear their Lord unseen, and are of the Hour in dread.
