بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةًۭ ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَٰنًۭا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌۭ وَٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًۭا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ
Wa maaja''alnaaa As haaban naari illaa malaaa 'ikatanw wa maa ja'alnaa 'iddatahum illaa fitnatal lillazeena kafaroo liyastayqinal lazeena ootul kitaaba wa yazdaadal lazeena aamanooo eemaananw wa laa yartaabal lazeena ootul kitaaba walmu'minoona wa liyaqoolal lazeena fee quloo bihim maradunw walkaafiroona maazaaa araadal laahu bihaazaa masalaa; kazaalika yudillul laahu many yashaaa'u wa yahdee many yashaaa'; wa maa ya'lamu junooda rabbika illaa hoo; wa maa hiya illaa zikraa lil bashar
We have appointed none but angels as the keepers of the Fire, and We have not made their number but as a trial for the unbelievers so that those who have been endowed with the Book will be convinced and the believers' faith will increase, and neither those who have been endowed with the Book nor the believers will fall into any doubt. As for those in whose hearts there is a sickness as well as the unbelievers, they will say: “What did Allah aim at by this strange parable?” Thus does Allah let whomsoever He pleases to go astray, and directs whomsoever He pleases to the Right Way. And none knows the hosts of your Lord but He. (And Hell has only been mentioned here) that people may take heed.
كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ
Kallaa walqamar
Nay, by the moon,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ
Wallaili adbar
and by the night when it recedes,
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ
Wassub hi izaaa asfar
and by the day when it dawns (with its radiance),
إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ
Innahaa la ihdal kubar
surely (Hell) is one of the greatest Signs,
نَذِيرًۭا لِّلْبَشَرِ
Nazeeral lilbashar
a warning to humankind,
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ
Liman shaaa'a minkum any yataqaddama aw yata akhkhar
a warning to everyone of you whether he would like to come forward or lag behind.
كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ
Kullu nafsim bim kasabat raheenah
Each one is a hostage to one's deeds,
إِلَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Illaaa as haabal yameen
save the People of the Right Hand
فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Fee jannaatiny yata saaa'aloon
who shall be in the Gardens, and shall ask
عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
'Anil mujrimeen
about the guilty ones:
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ
Maa salakakum fee saqar
“What drove you to Hell?”
قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ
Qaaloo lam naku minal musalleen
They will answer: “We were not among those who observed Prayer,
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ
Wa lam naku nut'imul miskeen
and we did not feed the poor,
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ
Wa kunnaa nakhoodu ma'al khaaa'ideen
and we indulged in vain talk with those who indulged in vain talk,
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Wa kunnaa nukazzibu bi yawmid Deen
and we gave the lie to the Day of Judgement
حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ
Hattaaa ataanal yaqeen
until the inevitable event overtook us.”
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ
Famaa tanfa'uhum shafaa'atush shaafi'een
The intercession of the intercessors shall then be of no avail to them.
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ
Famaa lahum 'anittazkirati mu'rideen
What is the matter with people that they are turning away from this Exhortation,
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌۭ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌۭ
Ka annahum humurum mustanfirah
as though they were frightened wild asses,
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ
Farrat min qaswarah
fleeing from a lion?
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًۭا مُّنَشَّرَةًۭ
Bal yureedu kullum ri'im minhum any yu'taa suhufam munashsharah
No indeed; each one of them desires that open letters be sent to each of them.
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ
Kallaa bal laa yakhaafoonal aakhirah
No indeed; the truth is that they have no fear of the Hereafter.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌۭ
Kallaaa innahoo tazkirah
Nay; this is an Exhortation.
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
Fa man shaaa'a zakarah
So, whoever wills may benefit from it.
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ
Wa maa yazkuroona illaaa any yashaaa'al laah; Huwa ahlut taqwaa wa ahlul maghfirah
But they will not benefit from it unless Allah Himself so wills. He is worthy to be feared; and He is worthy to forgive (those that fear Him).
