Reminder

إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِۦ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلًا

This is a reminder. Let whoever wishes, take the way to his Lord.

فَٱلْمُلْقِيَـٰتِ ذِكْرًا

delivering a reminder,

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ

on the Day that man remembers what he has done

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ

saying, ‘When will it arrive?’, but how can you tell [them that]?

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ

for all you know, he might have grown in spirit,

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ

or taken note of something useful to him.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ

No indeed! This [Quran] is a lesson

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

from which those who wish to be taught should learn,

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

This is a message for all people;

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ

So remind, if reminding will help.

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ

Those who stand in awe of God will heed the reminder,

وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ

remember the name of their Lord, and pray.

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ

So [Prophet] warn them: your only task is to give warning,

وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ

when Hell is that Day brought near- on that Day man will take heed, but what good will that be to him then?

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

by His creation of male and female!

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ

and raise your reputation high?
