وَلَن يُؤَخِّرَ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهَا ۚ وَٱللَّهُ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

God does not reprieve a soul when its turn comes: God is fully aware of what you do.

قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ قَدْ جَآءَنَا نَذِيرٌ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ كَبِيرٍ

They will reply, ‘Yes, a warner did come to us, but we did not believe him. We said, “God has revealed nothing: you are greatly misguided”.’

وَجَآءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَـٰتُ بِٱلْخَاطِئَةِ

And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.

يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ ۖ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

He will forgive you your sins and spare you until your appointed time––when God’s appointed time arrives it cannot be postponed. If only you understood!’

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

When the great overwhelming event arrives

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ

when the blind man came to him––

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ

but from the one who has come to you full of eagerness

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ

When the Deafening Blast comes––

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا

when your Lord comes with the angels, rank upon rank,

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 تَفَرَّقَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَةُ

[Yet] those who were given the Scripture became divided only after they were sent [such] clear evi-dence

إِذَا جَآءَ نَصْرُ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْفَتْحُ

When God’s help comes and He opens up your way [Prophet],
