Juz 30 · Quarter 1

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ 1

About what are they asking one another?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ 2

About the great news -

ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ 3

That over which they are in disagreement.

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ 4

No! They are going to know.

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ 5

Then, no! They are going to know.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَـٰدًا 6

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا 7

And the mountains as stakes?

وَخَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا 8

And We created you in pairs

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا 9

And made your sleep [a means for] rest

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا 10

And made the night as clothing

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا 11

And made the day for livelihood

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا 12

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا 13

And made [therein] a burning lamp

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا 14

And sent down from the rain clouds pouring water

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا 15

That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

وَجَنَّـٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا 16

And gardens of entwined growth.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَـٰتًا 17

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا 18

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

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا 19

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا 20

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

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا 21

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

لِّلطَّـٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًا 22

For the transgressors, a place of return,

لَّـٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًا 23

In which they will remain for ages [unending].

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا 24

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink.

إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا 25

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

جَزَآءً وِفَاقًا 26

An appropriate recompense.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا 27

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا 28

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَـٰهُ كِتَـٰبًا 29

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا 30

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

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا 31

Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَـٰبًا 32

Gardens and grapevines

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا 33

And young women [companions] of equal age.

وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا 34

And a full cup.

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًا 35

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا 36

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

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا 37

[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 ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا 38

The Day that the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] 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 ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا 39

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

إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَـٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا 40

Indeed, We have warned you of an impending 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!"

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرْقًا 1

By those [angels] who extract with violence

وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشْطًا 2

And [by] those who remove with ease

وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبْحًا 3

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

فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبْقًا 4

And those who race each other in a race

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا 5

And those who arrange [each] matter,

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ 6

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

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ 7

There will follow it the subsequent [one].

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ 8

Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

أَبْصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌ 9

Their eyes humbled.

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ 10

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

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًا نَّخِرَةً 11

Even if we should be decayed bones?"

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ 12

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

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ 13

Indeed, it will be but one shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ 14

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

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ 15

Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى 16

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

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ 17

"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ 18

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

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ 19

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

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ 20

And he showed him the greatest sign,

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ 21

But he [i.e., Pharaoh] denied and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ 22

Then he turned his back, striving [i.e., plotting].

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ 23

And he gathered [his people] and called out

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ 24

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

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ 25

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

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ 26

Indeed in that is a lesson [i.e., warning] for whoever would fear [Allāh].

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا 27

Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? He [i.e., Allāh] constructed it.

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا 28

He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا 29

And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ 30

And after that He spread the earth.

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا 31

He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا 32

And the mountains He set firmly

مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ 33

As enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ 34

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ 35

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

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ 36

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

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ 37

So as for he who transgressed

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا 38

And preferred the life of the world,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ 39

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ 40

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

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ 41

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا 42

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

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ 43

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

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ 44

To your Lord is its finality.

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا 45

You are only a warner for those who fear it.

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا 46

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.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ 1

He [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ) ] frowned and turned away

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ 2

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

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ 3

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

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ 4

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ 5

As for he who thinks himself without need,

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ 6

To him you give attention.

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ 7

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

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ 8

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

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ 9

While he fears [Allāh],

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ 10

From him you are distracted.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ 11

No! Indeed, they [i.e., these verses] are a reminder;

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ 12

So whoever wills may remember it.

فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ 13

[It is recorded] in honored sheets,

مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ 14

Exalted and purified,

بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ 15

[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,

كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ 16

Noble and dutiful.

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ 17

Destroyed [i.e., cursed] is man; how disbelieving is he.

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ 18

From what thing [i.e., substance] did He create him?

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ 19

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

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ 20

Then He eased the way for him;

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ 21

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

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ 22

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ 23

No! He [i.e., man] has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ 24

Then let mankind look at his food -

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا 25

How We poured down water in torrents,

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا 26

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

فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا 27

And caused to grow within it grain

وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا 28

And grapes and herbage

وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا 29

And olive and palm trees

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا 30

And gardens of dense shrubbery

وَفَـٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا 31

And fruit and grass -

مَّتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ 32

[As] enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ 33

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ 34

On the Day a man will flee from his brother

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ 35

And his mother and his father

وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ 36

And his wife and his children,

لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ 37

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

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ 38

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

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ 39

Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ 40

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

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ 41

Blackness will cover them.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ 42

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ 1

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ 2

And when the stars fall, dispersing,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ 3

And when the mountains are removed

وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ 4

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ 5

And when the wild beasts are gathered

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ 6

And when the seas are filled with flame

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ 7

And when the souls are paired

وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ 8

And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked

بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍ قُتِلَتْ 9

For what sin she was killed

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ 10

And when the pages are spread [i.e., made public]

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ 11

And when the sky is stripped away

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ 12

And when Hellfire is set ablaze

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ 13

And when Paradise is brought near,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ 14

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

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ 15

So I swear by the retreating stars -

ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ 16

Those that run [their courses] and disappear [i.e., set]

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ 17

And by the night as it closes in

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ 18

And by the dawn when it breathes [i.e., stirs]

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ 19

[That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger [i.e., Gabriel]

ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ 20

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

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ 21

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ 22

And your companion [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) ] is not [at all] mad.

وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ 23

And he has already seen him [i.e., Gabriel] in the clear horizon.

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ 24

And he [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ 25

And it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ 26

So where are you going?

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ 27

It is not except a reminder to the worlds

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ 28

For whoever wills among you to take a right course.

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ 29

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

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ 1

When the sky breaks apart

وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ 2

And when the stars fall, scattering,

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ 3

And when the seas are erupted

وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ 4

And when the [contents of] graves are scattered [i.e., exposed],

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ 5

A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ 6

O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ 7

Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?

فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ 8

In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ 9

No! But you deny the Recompense.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَـٰفِظِينَ 10

And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,

كِرَامًا كَـٰتِبِينَ 11

Noble and recording;

يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ 12

They know whatever you do.

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ 13

Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,

وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ 14

And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ 15

They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ 16

And never therefrom will they be absent.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ 17

And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ 18

Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ 19

It is the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing; and the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allāh.
