Day

إِنَّآ أَنشَأْنَـٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءً

We have specially created––

فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا

virginal,

عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا

loving, of matching age––

لِّأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

for those on the Right,

وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ

But those on the Left, what people they are!

فِى سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ

They will dwell amid scorching wind and scalding water

وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ

in the shadow of black smoke,

لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

neither cool nor refreshing.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ

Before, they overindulged in luxury

وَكَانُوا۟ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْحِنثِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

and persisted in great sin,

وَكَانُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

always saying, ‘What? When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be raised up?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

And our earliest forefathers too?’

قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

Say [Prophet], ‘The earliest and latest generations

لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

will all be gathered on a predetermined Day

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبُونَ

and you who have gone astray and denied the truth

لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ

will eat from the bitter tree of Zaqqum,

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ

filling your bellies with it,

فَشَـٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

and drink scalding water,

فَشَـٰرِبُونَ شُرْبَ ٱلْهِيمِ

lapping it like thirsty camels.’

هَـٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgement.

فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

If that dying person is one of those who will be brought near to God,

فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ

he will have rest, ease, and a Garden of Bliss;

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

if he is one of those on the Right,

فَسَلَـٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

[he will hear], ‘Peace be on you,’ from his companions on the Right;

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

but if he is one of those who denied the truth and went astray,

فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ

he will be welcomed with scalding water.

وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ

He will burn in Hell.

يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ جَمِيعًا فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوٓا۟ ۚ أَحْصَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ وَنَسُوهُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

on the Day when God will raise everyone and make them aware of what they have done. God has taken account of it all, though they may have forgotten: He witnesses everything.

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ مَا يَكُونُ مِن نَّجْوَىٰ ثَلَـٰثَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ رَابِعُهُمْ وَلَا خَمْسَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ سَادِسُهُمْ وَلَآ أَدْنَىٰ مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَآ أَكْثَرَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَعَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كَانُوا۟ ۖ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

Do you not see [Prophet] that God knows everything in the heavens and earth? There is no secret conversation between three people where He is not the fourth, nor between five where He is not the sixth, nor between less or more than that without Him being with them, wherever they may be. On the Day of Resurrection, He will show them what they have done: God truly has full knowledge of everything.

يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ جَمِيعًا فَيَحْلِفُونَ لَهُۥ كَمَا يَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ ۖ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ ۚ أَلَآ إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ ٱلْكَـٰذِبُونَ

On the Day God raises them all from the dead, they will swear before Him as they swear before you now, thinking that it will help them. What liars they are!

لَّا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ يُوَآدُّونَ مَنْ حَآدَّ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَلَوْ كَانُوٓا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَٰنَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ كَتَبَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ ٱلْإِيمَـٰنَ وَأَيَّدَهُم بِرُوحٍ مِّنْهُ ۖ وَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ رَضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ حِزْبُ ٱللَّهِ ۚ أَلَآ إِنَّ حِزْبَ ٱللَّهِ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ

[Prophet], you will not find people who truly believe in God and the Last Day giving their loyalty to those who oppose God and His Messenger, even though they may be their fathers, sons, brothers, or other relations: these are the people in whose hearts God has inscribed faith, and whom He has strengthened with His spirit. He will let them enter Gardens graced with flowing streams, where they will stay: God is well pleased with them, and they with Him. They are on God’s side, and God’s side will be the one to prosper.

لَن تَنفَعَكُمْ أَرْحَامُكُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَـٰدُكُمْ ۚ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَكُمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

Neither your kinsfolk nor your children will be any use to you on the Day of Resurrection: He will separate you out. God sees everything you do.

لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِيهِمْ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ

Truly, they are a good example for you [believers] to follow, a good example for those who fear God and the Last Day. If anyone turns away, [remember] God is self-sufficing and worthy of all praise.

يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُكُمْ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْجَمْعِ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلتَّغَابُنِ ۗ وَمَن يُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ وَيَعْمَلْ صَـٰلِحًا يُكَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِۦ وَيُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

When He gathers you for the Day of Gathering, the Day of mutual neglect, He will cancel the sins of those who believed in Him and acted righteously: He will admit them into Gardens graced with flowing streams, there to remain for ever- the supreme triumph.

أَمْ لَكُمْ أَيْمَـٰنٌ عَلَيْنَا بَـٰلِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۙ إِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَ

Have you received from Us solemn oaths, binding to the Day of Resurrection, that you will get whatever you yourselves decide?

وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَٰحِدَةً

when the earth and its mountains are raised high and then crushed with a single blow,

وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاهِيَةٌ

The sky will be torn apart on that Day, it will be so frail.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُوا۟ كِتَـٰبِيَهْ

Anyone who is given his Record in his right hand will say, ‘Here is my Record, read it.

إِنِّى ظَنَنتُ أَنِّى مُلَـٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ

I knew I would meet my Reckoning,’

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ

and so he will have a pleasant life

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ

in a lofty Garden,

قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ

with clustered fruit within his reach.

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَآ أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْخَالِيَةِ

It will be said, ‘Eat and drink to your heart’s content as a reward for what you have done in days gone by.’

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى لَمْ أُوتَ كِتَـٰبِيَهْ

But anyone who is given his Record in his left hand will say, ‘If only I had never been given any Record

وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ

and knew nothing of my Reckoning.

يَـٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْقَاضِيَةَ

How I wish death had been the end of me.

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنِّى مَالِيَهْ ۜ

My wealth has been no use to me,

هَلَكَ عَنِّى سُلْطَـٰنِيَهْ

and my power has vanished.’

خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ

‘Take him, put a collar on him,

ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ

lead him to burn in the blazing Fire,
