ٱقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِى غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُونَ iqtaraba linnāsi ḥisābuhum wahum fī ghaflatim mu`riḍūn NEAR HAS COME the reckoning for men, but they turn away in remissness.
2
مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِم مُّحْدَثٍ إِلَّا ٱسْتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ mā ya-tīhim min dhikrin min rabbihim muḥdathin illas-tama`ūhu wahum yal`abūn Never does a new reminder come to them from their Lord but they listen to it with dalliance.
3
لَاهِيَةً قُلُوبُهُمْ ۗ وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّجْوَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ هَلْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ ۖ أَفَتَأْتُونَ ٱلسِّحْرَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ lāhiyatan qulūbuhum ۗ wa-asarrun najwal ladhīna ẓalamū hal hādhā illā basharun mithlukum ۖ afata-tūnas siḥra wa-antum tubṣirūn Their minds are lost in frivolous pastimes; and the evil-doers discuss secretly: "Is he not but only a man like you? Then why are you taken in by magic seeingly?"
4
قَالَ رَبِّى يَعْلَمُ ٱلْقَوْلَ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ qāla rabbī ya`lamul qawla fis samā-i wal-arḍ ۖ wahuwas samī`ul `alīm He said: "My Lord knows whatever is spoken in the heavens and the earth. He hears all and knows everything."
5
بَلْ قَالُوٓا۟ أَضْغَـٰثُ أَحْلَـٰمٍۭ بَلِ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِـَٔايَةٍ كَمَآ أُرْسِلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ bal qālū aḍghāthu aḥlāmin balif-tarāhu bal huwa shā`irun falya-tinā bi-āyatin kamā ursilal-awwalūn Yet they say: "These are only confused dreams," or rather: "He has invented them;" or: "He is only a poet. Let him therefore bring a miracle to us as the earlier (apostles) were sent with."
6
مَآ ءَامَنَتْ قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهَآ ۖ أَفَهُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ mā āmanat qablahum min qaryatin ahlaknāhā ۖ afahum yu-minūn Not one habitation that We destroyed before them had believed. So how can they believe?
7
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْ ۖ فَسْـَٔلُوٓا۟ أَهْلَ ٱلذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ wa mā arsalnā qablaka illā rijālan nūḥī ilayhim ۖ fas-alū ahladh dhikri in kuntum lā ta`lamūn Never did We send a message before you but through a man, whom We inspired. If you do not know, then ask the keepers of the oracles of God.
8
وَمَا جَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ جَسَدًا لَّا يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ خَـٰلِدِينَ wa mā ja`alnāhum jasadal lā ya-kulūnaṭ ṭa`āma wa mā kānū khālidīn We did not make their bodies immune to hunger, nor were they immortal.
9
ثُمَّ صَدَقْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْوَعْدَ فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُمْ وَمَن نَّشَآءُ وَأَهْلَكْنَا ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ thumma ṣadaqnāhumul wa`da fa-anjaynāhum wa man nashā-u wa-ahlaknal musrifīn Then We made Our promise good to them and delivered whomsoever We pleased, and destroyed the transgressors.
10
لَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَـٰبًا فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ ۖ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ laqad anzalnā ilaykum kitāban fīhi dhikrukum ۖ afalā ta`qilūn We have sent down to you a Book which has a reminder for you. Do you not understand?
11
وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَأَنشَأْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ wakam qaṣamnā min qaryatin kānat ẓālimatan wa-ansha-nā ba`dahā qawman ākharīn How many habitations that were sinful have We demolished utterly, and raised other people after them.
12
فَلَمَّآ أَحَسُّوا۟ بَأْسَنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَرْكُضُونَ falammā aḥassū ba-sanā idhā hum minhā yarkuḍūn Whensoever they sensed Our punishment they fled from them.
13
لَا تَرْكُضُوا۟ وَٱرْجِعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَآ أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَمَسَـٰكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْـَٔلُونَ lā tarkuḍū warji`ū ilā mā utriftum fīhi wa masākinikum la`allakum tus-alūn "Do not flee; go back to your halls of pleasure and your habitations, so that you may be interrogated."
14
قَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ qālū yāwaylanā innā kunnā ẓālimīn "Woe, alas," they said, "we were really sinful."
15
فَمَا زَالَت تِّلْكَ دَعْوَىٰهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَـٰمِدِينَ famā zālat tilka da`wāhum ḥattā ja`alnāhum ḥaṣīdan khāmidīn And this remained their lament till We mowed them down and made them extinct.
16
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَـٰعِبِينَ wa mā khalaqnas samā-a wal-arḍa wa mā baynahumā lā`ibīn We have not created the heavens and the earth, and all that lies between them, out of fun.
17
لَوْ أَرَدْنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَّٱتَّخَذْنَـٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّآ إِن كُنَّا فَـٰعِلِينَ law aradnā an nattakhidha lahwan lattakhadhnāhu min ladunnā in kunnā fā`ilīn If We had pleased to make a plaything We could have made it Ourself, if We had cared to do so.
18
بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِٱلْحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلْبَـٰطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُۥ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ ۚ وَلَكُمُ ٱلْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ bal naqdhifu bil ḥaqqi `alal-bāṭili fayadmaghuhu fa-idhā huwa zāhiq ۚ walakumul waylu mimmā taṣifūn In fact We strike the truth against the false, which shatters it, and it disappears. Woe to you for what you attribute (to Him)!
19
وَلَهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَمَنْ عِندَهُۥ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَلَا يَسْتَحْسِرُونَ walahu man fis samāwāti wal-arḍ ۚ wa man `indahu lā yastakbirūna `an `ibādatihi walā yastaḥsirūn Whosoever is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him; and those who are near Him do not disdain to worship Him or weary (of His service),
20
يُسَبِّحُونَ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ لَا يَفْتُرُونَ yusabbiḥūnal layla wan nahāra lā yafturūn Nor cease to endeavour praising Him night and day.
21
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَةً مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ هُمْ يُنشِرُونَ amit-takhadhū ālihatan minal-arḍi hum yunshirūn Or have they taken gods from the earth who can raise the dead?
22
لَوْ كَانَ فِيهِمَآ ءَالِهَةٌ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَا ۚ فَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ law kāna fīhimā ālihatun illallāhu lafasadatā ۚ fasubḥānallāhi rabbil `arshi `ammā yaṣifūn Had there been gods apart from God, both (the heavens and the earth) would have been despoiled. Much too glorious is God, the Lord of the mighty throne, for things they assert!
23
لَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْـَٔلُونَ lā yus-alu `ammā yaf`alu wahum yus-alūn He cannot be questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.
24
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً ۖ قُلْ هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَـٰنَكُمْ ۖ هَـٰذَا ذِكْرُ مَن مَّعِىَ وَذِكْرُ مَن قَبْلِى ۗ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ ۖ فَهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ amit-takhadhū min dūnihi ālihah ۖ qul hātū burhānakum ۖ hādhā dhikru man ma`iya wadhikru man qablī ۗ bal aktharuhum lā ya`lamūnal ḥaqq ۖ fahum mu`riḍūn Have they taken gods besides God? Say: "Then bring your proof. Here is the Book of those who are with me, and the Book of those who have gone before me." But most men do not know the truth and turn away.
25
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعْبُدُونِ wa mā arsalnā min qablika min rasūlin illā nūḥī ilayhi annahu lā ilāha illā ana fa`budūn We have not sent an apostle before you without instructing him that there is no god but I, so worship Me.
26
وَقَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَلَدًا ۗ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ ۚ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُونَ waqālut-takhadhar raḥmānu waladā ۗ subḥānah ۚ bal `ibādun mukramūn And yet they say: "Ar-Rahman has begotten a son." Too exalted is He! In fact, those (they call His sons) were His honoured votaries.
27
لَا يَسْبِقُونَهُۥ بِٱلْقَوْلِ وَهُم بِأَمْرِهِۦ يَعْمَلُونَ lā yasbiqūnahu bil qawli wahum bi-amrihi ya`malūn They did not precede Him in their speech, and acted on His command.
28
يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ٱرْتَضَىٰ وَهُم مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهِۦ مُشْفِقُونَ ya`lamu mā bayna aydīhim wa mā khalfahum walā yashfa`ūna illā limanir-taḍā wahum min khashyatihi mushfiqūn He knows what was there before them and what came after them; and they did not intercede for any one but whom He willed, and they were filled with awe of Him.
29
وَمَن يَقُلْ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّىٓ إِلَـٰهٌ مِّن دُونِهِۦ فَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ wa man yaqul minhum innī ilāhun min dūnihi fadhālika najzīhi jahannam ۚ kadhālika najziẓ ẓālimīn If any one of them said: "I am God besides Him," We should award him Hell; for this is how We requite the evil-doers.
30
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَـٰهُمَا ۖ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ حَىٍّ ۖ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ awalam yaral ladhīna kafarū annas samāwāti wal-arḍa kānatā ratqan fafataqnāhumā ۖ waja`alnā minal mā-i kulla shay-in ḥayy ۖ afalā yu-minūn Do not these unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were an integrated mass, then We split them and made every living thing from water? Will they not believe even then?
31
وَجَعَلْنَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ رَوَٰسِىَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِهِمْ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ waja`alnā fil-arḍi rawāsiya an tamīda bihim waja`alnā fīhā fijājan subulal la`allahum yahtadūn We placed stabilisers in the earth so that as it revolved with them you lived undisturbed; and We provided passageways between them so that men may find their way;
32
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ سَقْفًا مَّحْفُوظًا ۖ وَهُمْ عَنْ ءَايَـٰتِهَا مُعْرِضُونَ waja`alnas samā-a saqfan maḥfūẓā ۖ wahum `an āyātihā mu`riḍūn And We made the sky a well-protected roof. Still they turn away from His signs!
33
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ wahuwal ladhī khalaqal layla wan nahāra wash shamsa wal qamar ۖ kullun fī falakiy yasbaḥūn It is He who created night and day, the sun and the moon, revolving on its orbit.
34
وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ ٱلْخُلْدَ ۖ أَفَإِي۟ن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ ٱلْخَـٰلِدُونَ wa mā ja`alnā libasharin min qablikal khuld ۖ afa-in mitta fahumul khālidūn We have given no man everlastingness before you. So then if you die, will they live ever after?
35
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ۗ وَنَبْلُوكُم بِٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً ۖ وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ kullu nafsin dhā-iqatul mawt ۗ wanablūkum bish sharri wal khayri fitnah ۖ wa ilaynā turja`ūn Every soul will know the taste of death. We tempt you with evil and with good as a trial; and to Us you will return.
36
وَإِذَا رَءَاكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى يَذْكُرُ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ هُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ wa idhā ra-ākal ladhīna kafarū in yattakhidhūnaka illā huzuwan ahādhal ladhī yadhkuru ālihatakum wahum bidhikrir raḥmāni hum kāfirūn But when the unbelievers see you they make fun of you (and say): "Is this the one who mentions your gods (deridingly)?" Yet in Ar-Rahman they disbelieve!
37
خُلِقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ ۚ سَأُو۟رِيكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِى فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونِ khuliqal-insānu min `ajal ۚ sa-urīkum āyātī falā tasta`jilūn Man is made of inordinate haste. We will show you Our signs, then you will not desire to hasten (the punishment).

39
لَوْ يَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ حِينَ لَا يَكُفُّونَ عَن وُجُوهِهِمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَلَا عَن ظُهُورِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ law ya`lamul ladhīna kafarū ḥīna lā yakuffūna `an wujūhihimun nāra walā `an ẓuhūrihim walā hum yunṣarūn If only the unbelievers could apprehend the moment when they would neither be able to ward off the fire from their faces and their backs, nor help reach them!
40
بَلْ تَأْتِيهِم بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ bal ta-tīhim baghtatan fatabhatuhum falā yastaṭī`ūna raddahā walā hum yunẓarūn It will come upon them unawares confounding them, and they will not be able to keep it back, nor will they be given respite.
41
وَلَقَدِ ٱسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِٱلَّذِينَ سَخِرُوا۟ مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ walaqadis-tuhzi-a birusulin min qablika faḥāqa bil ladhīna sakhirū minhum mā kānū bihi yastahzi-ūn Many apostles have been scoffed before you; but they who scoffed were themselves caught by what they had ridiculed.
42
قُلْ مَن يَكْلَؤُكُم بِٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ مِنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۗ بَلْ هُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ qul man yakla-ukum bil layli wan nahāri minar raḥmān ۗ bal hum `an dhikri rabbihim mu`riḍūn Say: "Who guards you from Ar-Rahman by night and by day?" Yet from a mention of their Lord they turn away.
43
أَمْ لَهُمْ ءَالِهَةٌ تَمْنَعُهُم مِّن دُونِنَا ۚ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَلَا هُم مِّنَّا يُصْحَبُونَ am lahum ālihatun tamna`uhum min dūninā ۚ lā yastaṭī`ūna naṣra anfusihim walā hum minnā yuṣ-ḥabūn Or do they have lords of their own besides Us who can defend them? But they are not able to help themselves, nor can they find protection against Us.
44
بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْعُمُرُ ۗ أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّا نَأْتِى ٱلْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَآ ۚ أَفَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ bal matta`nā hā-ulā-i wa-ābā-ahum ḥattā ṭāla `alayhimul `umur ۗ afalā yarawna annā na-til-arḍa nanquṣuhā min aṭrāfihā ۚ afahumul ghālibūn We allowed them and their fathers time to enjoy till the very end of their lives. Do they not see Us advancing into the land, reducing its frontiers? Would they still prevail?
45
قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أُنذِرُكُم بِٱلْوَحْىِ ۚ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ qul innamā undhirukum bil waḥyi ۚ walā yasma`uṣ ṣummud du`ā-a idhā mā yundharūn Say: "I am warning you by God's command." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.
46
وَلَئِن مَّسَّتْهُمْ نَفْحَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ يَـٰوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ wala-in massat-hum nafḥatun min `adhābi rabbika layaqūlunna yāwaylanā innā kunnā ẓālimīn Even if a whiff of the Lord's chastisement were to touch them they would surely say: "Ah woe, alas, we were surely sinful."
47
وَنَضَعُ ٱلْمَوَٰزِينَ ٱلْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْـًٔا ۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِنَا حَـٰسِبِينَ wanaḍa`ul mawāzīnal qisṭa liyawmil qiyāmati falā tuẓlamu nafsun shay-ā ۖ wa in kāna mithqāla ḥabbatim min khardalin ataynā bihā ۗ wakafā binā ḥāsibīn We shall fix the scales of justice on the Day of Resurrection, so that none will be wronged in the least; and even if it were equal to a mustard seed in weight We shall take it (into account). We are sufficient for computation.
48
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ٱلْفُرْقَانَ وَضِيَآءً وَذِكْرًا لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ walaqad ātaynā mūsā wahārūnal furqāna waḍiyā-an wadhikral lil-muttaqīn We gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion, and a light and reminder for those who take heed for themselves,
49
ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَهُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ مُشْفِقُونَ alladhīna yakhshawna rabbahum bil ghaybi wahum minas sā`ati mushfiqūn Who are fearful of their Lord inwardly and dread the Hour.

51
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَآ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ رُشْدَهُۥ مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِهِۦ عَـٰلِمِينَ walaqad ātaynā ibrāhīma rushdahu min qablu wakunnā bihi `ālimīn We had earlier given Abraham true direction, for We knew him well.
52

56
قَالَ بَل رَّبُّكُمْ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَهُنَّ وَأَنَا۠ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ qāla bal rabbukum rabbus samāwāti wal-arḍil ladhī faṭarahunna wa-ana `alā dhālikum minash shāhidīn He said: "In fact it was your Lord, the Lord of the heavens and the earth, who created them; and I bear witness to this.
57
وَتَٱللَّهِ لَأَكِيدَنَّ أَصْنَـٰمَكُم بَعْدَ أَن تُوَلُّوا۟ مُدْبِرِينَ watallāhi la-akīdanna aṣnāmakum ba`da an tuwallū mudbirīn I swear by God I will do something to your idols when you have turned your backs and gone."
