Juz 30 · Quarter 4

لَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ مُنفَكِّينَ حَتَّىٰ تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَةُ 1

Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists were not to be parted [from misbelief]1 until there came to them clear evidence –

رَسُولٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ يَتْلُوا۟ صُحُفًا مُّطَهَّرَةً 2

A Messenger from Allāh, reciting purified1 scriptures

فِيهَا كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌ 3

Within which are correct writings [i.e., rulings and laws].

وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَةُ 4

Nor did those who were given the Scripture become divided1 until after there had come to them clear evidence.

وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓا۟ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ حُنَفَآءَ وَيُقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ دِينُ ٱلْقَيِّمَةِ 5

And they were not commanded except to worship Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakāh. And that is the correct religion.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ ٱلْبَرِيَّةِ 6

Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ ٱلْبَرِيَّةِ 7

Indeed, they who have believed and done righteous deeds - those are the best of creatures.

جَزَآؤُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا ۖ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِىَ رَبَّهُۥ 8

Their reward with their Lord will be gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allāh being pleased with them and they with Him. That is for whoever has feared his Lord.

إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا 1

When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake

وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا 2

And the earth discharges its burdens1

وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا لَهَا 3

And man says,1 "What is [wrong] with it?" -

يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا 4

That Day, it will report its news

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا 5

Because your Lord has inspired [i.e., commanded] it.

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْا۟ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ 6

That Day, the people will depart1 separated [into categories] to be shown [the result of] their deeds.

فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُۥ 7

So whoever does an atom's weight1 of good will see it,

وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُۥ 8

And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.

وَٱلْعَـٰدِيَـٰتِ ضَبْحًا 1

By the racers, panting,1

فَٱلْمُورِيَـٰتِ قَدْحًا 2

And the producers of sparks [when] striking1

فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا 3

And the chargers at dawn,1

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا 4

Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا 5

Arriving thereby in the center1 collectively,

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ 6

Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ 7

And indeed, he is to that a witness.1

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ 8

And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ 9

But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ 10

And that within the breasts is obtained,1

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ 11

Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Aware.1

ٱلْقَارِعَةُ 1

The Striking Calamity -

مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ 2

What is the Striking Calamity?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ 3

And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ 4

It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,1

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ 5

And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.1

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ 6

Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ 7

He will be in a pleasant life.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ 8

But as for one whose scales are light,

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ 9

His refuge1 will be an abyss.2

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ 10

And what can make you know what that is?

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ 11

It is a Fire, intensely hot.

أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ 1

Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ 2

Until you visit the graveyards.1

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ 3

No! You are going to know.

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ 4

Then, no! You are going to know.

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ 5

No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...1

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ 6

You will surely see the Hellfire.

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ 7

Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.1

ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ 8

Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.1

وَٱلْعَصْرِ 1

By time,1

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ 2

Indeed, mankind is in loss,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ 3

Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ 1

Woe to every scorner and mocker

ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ 2

Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.1

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ 3

He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.

كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ 4

No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.1

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ 5

And what can make you know what is the Crusher?

نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ 6

It is the fire of Allāh, [eternally] fueled,

ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ 7

Which mounts directed at the hearts.1

إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ 8

Indeed, it [i.e., Hellfire] will be closed down upon them

فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ 9

In extended columns.1

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ 1

Have you not considered, [O Muḥammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?1

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ 2

Did He not make their plan into misguidance?1

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ 3

And He sent against them birds in flocks,

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ 4

Striking them with stones of hard clay,

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍۭ 5

And He made them like eaten straw.1

لِإِيلَـٰفِ قُرَيْشٍ 1

For the accustomed security of the Quraysh1 -

إِۦلَـٰفِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ ٱلشِّتَآءِ وَٱلصَّيْفِ 2

Their accustomed security [in] the caravan of winter and summer1 -

فَلْيَعْبُدُوا۟ رَبَّ هَـٰذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ 3

Let them worship the Lord of this House,1

ٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعٍ وَءَامَنَهُم مِّنْ خَوْفٍۭ 4

Who has fed them, [saving them] from hunger and made them safe, [saving them] from fear.

أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ 1

Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?

فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِى يَدُعُّ ٱلْيَتِيمَ 2

For that is the one who drives away the orphan

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ 3

And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ 4

So woe to those who pray

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ 5

[But] who are heedless of their prayer1 -

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ 6

Those who make show [of their deeds]

وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ 7

And withhold [simple] assistance.

إِنَّآ أَعْطَيْنَـٰكَ ٱلْكَوْثَرَ 1

Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muḥammad], al-Kawthar.

فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَٱنْحَرْ 2

So pray to your Lord and offer sacrifice [to Him alone].

إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ ٱلْأَبْتَرُ 3

Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off.1

قُلْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ 1

Say, "O disbelievers,

لَآ أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ 2

I do not worship what you worship.

وَلَآ أَنتُمْ عَـٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ 3

Nor are you worshippers of what I worship.

وَلَآ أَنَا۠ عَابِدٌ مَّا عَبَدتُّمْ 4

Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship.

وَلَآ أَنتُمْ عَـٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ 5

Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship.

لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِىَ دِينِ 6

For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."

إِذَا جَآءَ نَصْرُ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْفَتْحُ 1

When the victory of Allāh has come and the conquest,1

وَرَأَيْتَ ٱلنَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِى دِينِ ٱللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا 2

And you see the people entering into the religion of Allāh in multitudes,

فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَٱسْتَغْفِرْهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ تَوَّابًۢا 3

Then exalt [Him] with praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness of Him. Indeed, He is ever Accepting of Repentance.1

تَبَّتْ يَدَآ أَبِى لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ 1

May the hands of Abū Lahab be ruined, and ruined is he.1

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَمَا كَسَبَ 2

His wealth will not avail him or that which he gained.

سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ 3

He will [enter to] burn in a Fire of [blazing] flame

وَٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ حَمَّالَةَ ٱلْحَطَبِ 4

And his wife [as well] - the carrier of firewood.1

فِى جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِّن مَّسَدٍۭ 5

Around her neck is a rope of [twisted] fiber.

قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ 1

Say, "He is Allāh, [who is] One,1

ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ 2

Allāh, the Eternal Refuge.1

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ 3

He neither begets nor is born,

وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌۢ 4

Nor is there to Him any equivalent."

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ 1

Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak

مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ 2

From the evil of that which He created

وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ 3

And from the evil of darkness when it settles

وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّـٰثَـٰتِ فِى ٱلْعُقَدِ 4

And from the evil of the blowers in knots1

وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ 5

And from the evil of an envier when he envies."

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ 1

Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,

مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ 2

The Sovereign of mankind,

إِلَـٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ 3

The God of mankind,

مِن شَرِّ ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ ٱلْخَنَّاسِ 4

From the evil of the retreating whisperer1 -

ٱلَّذِى يُوَسْوِسُ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ 5

Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind -

مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ 6

From among the jinn and mankind."1
