Fal-ḥāmilāti wiqrā.

And the [clouds] carrying a load [of water]

Fal-jāriyāti yusrā.

And the ships sailing with ease

فَٱلۡمُقَسِّمَٰتِ أَمۡرًا ٤

Fal-muqassimāti amrā.

And the [angels] apportioning [each] matter,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٞ ٥

Innamā tūʿadūna laṣādiq.

Indeed, what you are promised is true.

وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٞ ٦

And indeed, the recompense is to occur.

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡحُبُكِ ٧

By the heaven containing pathways,¹

إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِي قَوۡلٖ مُّخۡتَلِفٖ ٨

Innakum lafī qawlim mukhtalif.

Indeed, you are in differing speech.¹

يُؤۡفَكُ عَنۡهُ مَنۡ أُفِكَ ٩

Yuʾfaku ʿanhu man ufik.

Deluded away from it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is he who is deluded.

قُتِلَ ٱلۡخَرَّٰصُونَ ١٠

Qutilal-kharrāṣūn.

Destroyed are the misinformers¹

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَةٖ سَاهُونَ ١١

They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"

يَوۡمَ هُمۡ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفۡتَنُونَ ١٣

[It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire

ذُوقُواْ فِتۡنَتَكُمۡ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ ١٤

Dhūqū fitnatakum hādhal-ladhī kuntum bihī tastaʿjilūn.

[And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient."

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٍ ١٥

Innal-muttaqīna fī jannātiw wa ʿuyūn.

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs,

ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحۡسِنِينَ ١٦

Ākhidhīna mā ātāhum rabbuhum, innahum kānū qabla dhālika muḥsinīn.

Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.

كَانُواْ قَلِيلٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ مَا يَهۡجَعُونَ ١٧

Kānū qalīlam minal-layli mā yahjaʿūn.

They used to sleep but little of the night,¹

وَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ ١٨

Wabil-asḥāri hum yastaghfirūn.

And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,

وَفِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ ١٩

Wa fī amwālihim ḥaqqul lis-sāʾili wal-maḥrūm.

And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.

وَفِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ءَايَٰتٞ لِّلۡمُوقِنِينَ ٢٠

Wa fil-arḍi āyātul lil-mūqinīn.

And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]

وَفِيٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ٢١

Wa fī anfusikum, afalā tubṣirūn.

And in yourselves. Then will you not see?

وَفِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقُكُمۡ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ ٢٢

Wa fis-samāʾi rizqukum wa mā tūʿadūn.

And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقّٞ مِّثۡلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمۡ تَنطِقُونَ ٢٣

Fawarabbis-samāʾi wal-arḍi innahū laḥaqqum mithla mā annakum tanṭiqūn.

Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيۡفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِينَ ٢٤

Hal atāka ḥadīthu ḍayfi ibrāhīmal-mukramīn.

Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham?¹ -

إِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيۡهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗاۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٞ قَوۡمٞ مُّنكَرُونَ ٢٥

Idh dakhalū ʿalayhi faqālū salāmā, qāla salāmun qawmum munkarūn.

When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace; [you are] a people unknown."

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجۡلٖ سَمِينٖ ٢٦

Farāgha ilā ahlihī fajāʾa biʿijlin samīn.

Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf.

فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡ قَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ٢٧

Faqarrabahū ilayhim qāla alā taʾkulūn.

And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"

فَأَوۡجَسَ مِنۡهُمۡ خِيفَةٗۖ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٖ ٢٨

Fa awjasa minhum khīfah, qālū lā takhaf, wa bashsharūhu bighulāmin ʿalīm.

And he felt from them apprehension.¹ They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

فَأَقۡبَلَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ فِي صَرَّةٖ فَصَكَّتۡ وَجۡهَهَا وَقَالَتۡ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٞ ٢٩

Fa aqbalatimraʾatuhū fī ṣarratin faṣakkat wajhahā wa qālat ʿajūzun ʿaqīm.

And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"

قَالُواْ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٣٠

Qālū kadhāliki qāla rabbuk, innahū huwal-ḥakīmul-ʿalīm.

They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing."

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ ٣١

Qāla famā khaṭbukum ayyuhal-mursalūn.

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ أُرۡسِلۡنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمٖ مُّجۡرِمِينَ ٣٢

Qālū innā ursilnā ilā qawmim mujrimīn.

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals¹

لِنُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةٗ مِّن طِينٖ ٣٣

Linursila ʿalayhim ḥijāratam min ṭīn.

To send down upon them stones of clay,

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ ٣٤

Musawwamatan ʿinda rabbika lil-musrifīn.

Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٣٥

Fa akhrajnā man kāna fīhā minal-muʾminīn.

So We brought out whoever was in them [i.e., the cities] of the believers.

فَمَا وَجَدۡنَا فِيهَا غَيۡرَ بَيۡتٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ ٣٦

Famā wajadnā fīhā ghayra baytim minal-muslimīn.

And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.¹

وَتَرَكۡنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ ٣٧

Wa taraknā fīhā āyatal lil-ladhīna yakhāfūnal-ʿadhābal-alīm.

And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

وَفِي مُوسَىٰٓ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٖ ٣٨

Wa fī mūsā idh arsalnāhu ilā firʿawna bisulṭānim mubīn.

And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.¹

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكۡنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَٰحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٞ ٣٩

Fatawallā biruknihī wa qāla sāḥirun aw majnūn.

But he turned away with his supporters and said, "A magician or a madman."

فَأَخَذۡنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ ٤٠

Fa akhadhnāhu wa junūdahū fanabadhnāhum fil-yammi wa huwa mulīm.

So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.

وَفِي عَادٍ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلۡعَقِيمَ ٤١

Wa fī ʿādin idh arsalnā ʿalayhimur-rīḥal-ʿaqīm.

And in ʿAad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.¹

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَيۡءٍ أَتَتۡ عَلَيۡهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتۡهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ ٤٢

Mā tadharu min shayʾin atat ʿalayhi illā jaʿalathu kar-ramīm.

It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.

وَفِي ثَمُودَ إِذۡ قِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَمَتَّعُواْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ ٤٣

Wa fī thamūda idh qīla lahum tamattaʿū ḥattā ḥīn.

And in Thamūd, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."

فَعَتَوۡاْ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ ٤٤

Faʿataw ʿan amri rabbihim fa akhadhathumuṣ-ṣāʿiqatu wa hum yanẓurūn.

But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.

فَمَا ٱسۡتَطَٰعُواْ مِن قِيَامٖ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُنتَصِرِينَ ٤٥

Famastaṭāʿū min qiyāmiw wa mā kānū muntaṣirīn.

And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمٗا فَٰسِقِينَ ٤٦

Wa qawma nūḥim min qabl, innahum kānū qawman fāsiqīn.

And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيۡنَٰهَا بِأَيۡيْدٖ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ٤٧

Was-samāʾa banaynāhā biʾaydiw wa innā lamūsiʿūn.

And the heaven We constructed with strength,¹ and indeed, We are [its] expander.

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَرَشۡنَٰهَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَٰهِدُونَ ٤٨

Wal-arḍa farashnāhā faniʿmal-māhidūn.

And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.

وَمِن كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَا زَوۡجَيۡنِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ ٤٩

Wa min kulli shayʾin khalaqnā zawjayni laʿallakum tadhakkarūn.

And of all things We created two mates [i.e., counterparts]; perhaps you will remember.

فَفِرُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ ٥٠

Fafirrū ilallāh, innī lakum minhu nadhīrum mubīn.

So flee to Allāh.¹ Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

وَلَا تَجۡعَلُواْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ ٥١

Wa lā tajʿalū maʿallāhi ilāhan ākhar, innī lakum minhu nadhīrum mubīn.

And do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُواْ سَاحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌ ٥٢

Kadhālika mā atal-ladhīna min qablihim mir rasūlin illā qālū sāḥirun aw majnūn.

Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."

أَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِهِۦۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٞ طَاغُونَ ٥٣

Atawāṣaw bih, bal hum qawmun ṭāghūn.

Did they suggest it to them?¹ Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٖ ٥٤

Fatawalla ʿanhum famā anta bimalūm.

So leave them, [O Muḥammad], for you are not to be blamed.

وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٥٥

Wa dhakkir fa innadh-dhikrā tanfaʿul-muʾminīn.

And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.

وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ ٥٦

Wa mā khalaqtul-jinna wal-insa illā liyaʿbudūn.

And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقٖ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطۡعِمُونِ ٥٧

Mā urīdu minhum mir rizqiw wa mā urīdu ay yuṭʿimūn.

I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِينُ ٥٨

Innallāha huwar-razzāqu dhul-quwwatil-matīn.

Indeed, it is Allāh who is the [continual] Provider,¹ the firm possessor of strength.

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذَنُوبٗا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ ٥٩

Fa inna lil-ladhīna ẓalamū dhanūbam mithla dhanūbi aṣḥābihim falā yastaʿjilūn.

And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their companions [i.e., predecessors], so let them not impatiently urge Me.

فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن يَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ ٦٠

Fawaylul lil-ladhīna kafarū miy yawmihimul-ladhī yūʿadūn.

And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
