Yāʾayyuhal-ladhīna āmanū qū anfusakum wa ahlīkum nāraw waqūduhan-nāsu wal-ḥijāratu ʿalayhā malāʾikatun ghilāẓun shidādul lā yaʿṣūnallāha mā amarahum wa yafʿalūna mā yuʾmarūn.

O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allāh in what He commands them but do what they are commanded.

Indeed, those who disbelieve in Our verses - We will drive them into a fire. Every time their skins are roasted through, We will replace them with other skins so they may taste the punishment. Indeed, Allāh is ever Exalted in Might and Wise.

لَهُم مِّن جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٞ وَمِن فَوۡقِهِمۡ غَوَاشٖۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٤١

Yatajarraʿuhū wa lā yakādu yusīghuhū wa yaʾtīhil-mawtu min kulli makāniw wa mā huwa bimayyit, wa miw warāʾihī ʿadhābun ghalīẓ.

He will gulp it but will hardly [be able to] swallow it. And death will come to him from everywhere, but he is not to die. And before him is a massive punishment.

وَقُلِ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمۡۖ فَمَن شَآءَ فَلۡيُؤۡمِن وَمَن شَآءَ فَلۡيَكۡفُرۡۚ إِنَّآ أَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمۡ سُرَادِقُهَاۚ وَإِن يَسۡتَغِيثُواْ يُغَاثُواْ بِمَآءٖ كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ يَشۡوِي ٱلۡوُجُوهَۚ بِئۡسَ ٱلشَّرَابُ وَسَآءَتۡ مُرۡتَفَقًا ٢٩

Wa qulil-ḥaqqu mir rabbikum, faman shāʾa falyuʾmiw wa man shāʾa falyakfur, innā aʿtadnā liẓ-ẓālimīna nāran aḥāṭa bihim surādiquhā, wa iy yastaghīthū yughāthū bimāʾin kal-muhli yashwil-wujūh, biʾsash-sharābu wa sāʾat murtafaqā.

And say, "The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve." Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place.

۞ هَٰذَانِ خَصۡمَانِ ٱخۡتَصَمُواْ فِي رَبِّهِمۡۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ قُطِّعَتۡ لَهُمۡ ثِيَابٞ مِّن نَّارٖ يُصَبُّ مِن فَوۡقِ رُءُوسِهِمُ ٱلۡحَمِيمُ ١٩

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ٦٢

Adhālika khayrun nuzulan am shajaratuz-zaqqūm.

Is that [i.e., Paradise] a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqūm?

Innā jaʿalnāhā fitnatal liẓ-ẓālimīn.

Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٞ تَخۡرُجُ فِيٓ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ٦٤

Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,

طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ ٦٥

Ṭalʿuhā kaʾannahū ruʾūsush-shayāṭīn.

Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.

فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ ٦٦

Fa innahum laʾākilūna minhā famāliʾūna minhal-buṭūn.

And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ ٦٧

Thumma inna lahum ʿalayhā lashawbam min ḥamīm.

Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.

خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ ٣٠

Khudhūhu faghullūh.

[Allāh will say], "Seize him and shackle him.

ثُمَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ ٣١

Thummal-jaḥīma ṣallūh.

Then into Hellfire drive him.

ثُمَّ فِي سِلۡسِلَةٖ ذَرۡعُهَا سَبۡعُونَ ذِرَاعٗا فَٱسۡلُكُوهُ ٣٢

Thumma fī silsilatin dharʿuhā sabʿūna dhirāʿan faslukūh.

Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."

إِنَّ لَدَيۡنَآ أَنكَالٗا وَجَحِيمٗا ١٢

Inna ladaynā ankālaw wa jaḥīmā.

Indeed, with Us [for them] are shackles and burning fire

وَطَعَامٗا ذَا غُصَّةٖ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا ١٣

Wa ṭaʿāman dhā ghuṣṣatiw wa ʿadhāban alīmā.

And food that chokes and a painful punishment -

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ فِي ٱلدَّرۡكِ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ وَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُمۡ نَصِيرًا ١٤٥

Innal-munāfiqīna fid-darkil-asfali minan-nāri wa lan tajida lahum naṣīrā.

Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire - and never will you find for them a helper -

وَلَقَدۡ ذَرَأۡنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِۖ لَهُمۡ قُلُوبٞ لَّا يَفۡقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمۡ أَعۡيُنٞ لَّا يُبۡصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمۡ ءَاذَانٞ لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ بِهَآۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ كَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ بَلۡ هُمۡ أَضَلُّۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰفِلُونَ ١٧٩

Wa laqad dharaʾnā lijahannama kathīram minal-jinni wal-ins, lahum qulūbul lā yafqahūna bihā wa lahum aʿyunul lā yubṣirūna bihā wa lahum ādhānul lā yasmaʿūna bihā, ulāʾika kal-anʿāmi bal hum aḍall, ulāʾika humul-ghāfilūn.

And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray.¹ It is they who are the heedless.

وَأَمَّا ٱلۡقَٰسِطُونَ فَكَانُواْ لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبٗا ١٥

Wa ammal-qāsiṭūna fakānū lijahannama ḥaṭabā.

But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.'

مَا سَلَكَكُمۡ فِي سَقَرَ ٤٢

Mā salakakum fī saqar.

[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"

قَالُواْ لَمۡ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ ٤٣

Qālū lam naku minal-muṣallīn.

They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

وَلَمۡ نَكُ نُطۡعِمُ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينَ ٤٤

Wa lam naku nuṭʿimul-miskīn.

Nor did we used to feed the poor.

وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلۡخَآئِضِينَ ٤٥

Wa kunnā nakhūḍu maʿal-khāʾiḍīn.

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ ٤٦

Wa kunnā nukadhdhibu biyawmid-dīn.

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلۡيَقِينُ ٤٧

Ḥattā atānal-yaqīn.

Until there came to us the certainty [i.e., death]."

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمۡ شَرُّ ٱلۡبَرِيَّةِ ٦

Innal-ladhīna kafarū min ahlil-kitābi wal-mushrikīna fī nāri jahannama khālidīna fīhā, ulāʾika hum sharrul-bariyyah.

Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures.

يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ وَمَا هُم بِخَٰرِجِينَ مِنۡهَاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ مُّقِيمٞ ٣٧

Yurīdūna ay yakhrujū minan-nāri wa mā hum bikhārijīna minhā, wa lahum ʿadhābum muqīm.

They will wish to get out of the Fire, but never are they to emerge therefrom, and for them is an enduring punishment.

كُلَّمَآ أَرَادُوٓاْ أَن يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنۡهَا مِنۡ غَمٍّ أُعِيدُواْ فِيهَا وَذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلۡحَرِيقِ ٢٢

Kullamā arādū ay yakhrujū minhā min ghammin uʿīdū fīhā wa dhūqū ʿadhābal-ḥarīq.

Every time they want to get out of it [i.e., Hellfire] from anguish, they will be returned to it, and [it will be said], "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire!"

وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فَسَقُواْ فَمَأۡوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُۖ كُلَّمَآ أَرَادُوٓاْ أَن يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنۡهَآ أُعِيدُواْ فِيهَا وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٠

Wa ammal-ladhīna fasaqū famaʾwāhumun-nār, kullamā arādū ay yakhrujū minhā uʿīdū fīhā wa qīla lahum dhūqū ʿadhāban-nāril-ladhī kuntum bihī tukadhdhibūn.

But as for those who defiantly disobeyed, their refuge is the Fire. Every time they wish to emerge from it, they will be returned to it while it is said to them, "Taste the punishment of the Fire which you used to deny."

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ فِي عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدُونَ ٧٤

Innal-mujrimīna fī ʿadhābi jahannama khālidūn.

Indeed, the criminals will be in the punishment of Hell, abiding eternally.

لَا يُفَتَّرُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَهُمۡ فِيهِ مُبۡلِسُونَ ٧٥

Lā yufattaru ʿanhum wa hum fīhi mublisūn.

It will not be allowed to subside for them, and they, therein, are in despair.

وَمَا ظَلَمۡنَٰهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٧٦

Wa mā ẓalamnāhum wa lākin kānū humuẓ-ẓālimīn.

And We did not wrong them, but it was they who were the wrongdoers.

وَنَادَوۡاْ يَٰمَٰلِكُ لِيَقۡضِ عَلَيۡنَا رَبُّكَۖ قَالَ إِنَّكُم مَّٰكِثُونَ ٧٧

Wa nādaw yāmāliku liyaqḍi ʿalaynā rabbuk, qāla innakum mākithūn.

And they will call, "O Mālik,¹ let your Lord put an end to us!" He will say, "Indeed, you will remain."

وَلَوۡ تَرَىٰٓ إِذۡ وُقِفُواْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ فَقَالُواْ يَٰلَيۡتَنَا نُرَدُّ وَلَا نُكَذِّبَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّنَا وَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٢٧

Wa law tarā idh wuqifū ʿalan-nāri faqālū yālaytanā nuraddu wa lā nukadhdhiba biʾāyāti rabbinā wa nakūna minal-muʾminīn.

If you could but see when they are made to stand before the Fire and will say, "Oh, would that we could be returned [to life on earth] and not deny the signs of our Lord and be among the believers."

قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا غَلَبَتۡ عَلَيۡنَا شِقۡوَتُنَا وَكُنَّا قَوۡمٗا ضَآلِّينَ ١٠٦

Qālū rabbanā ghalabat ʿalaynā shiqwatunā wa kunnā qawman ḍāllīn.

They will say, "Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.

رَبَّنَآ أَخۡرِجۡنَا مِنۡهَا فَإِنۡ عُدۡنَا فَإِنَّا ظَٰلِمُونَ ١٠٧

Rabbanā akhrijnā minhā fa in ʿudnā fa innā ẓālimūn.

Our Lord, remove us from it, and if we were to return [to evil], we would indeed be wrongdoers."

قَالَ ٱخۡسَـُٔواْ فِيهَا وَلَا تُكَلِّمُونِ ١٠٨

Qālakhsaʾū fīhā wa lā tukallimūn.

He will say, "Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me.

يَوۡمَ تُقَلَّبُ وُجُوهُهُمۡ فِي ٱلنَّارِ يَقُولُونَ يَٰلَيۡتَنَآ أَطَعۡنَا ٱللَّهَ وَأَطَعۡنَا ٱلرَّسُولَا۠ ٦٦

Yawma tuqallabu wujūhuhum fin-nāri yaqūlūna yālaytanā aṭaʿnallāha wa aṭaʿnar-rasūl.

The Day their faces will be turned about in the Fire, they will say, "How we wish we had obeyed Allāh and obeyed the Messenger."

وَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّآ أَطَعۡنَا سَادَتَنَا وَكُبَرَآءَنَا فَأَضَلُّونَا ٱلسَّبِيلَا۠ ٦٧

Wa qālū rabbanā innā aṭaʿnā sādatanā wa kubarāʾanā fa aḍallūnas-sabīl.

And they will say, "Our Lord, indeed we obeyed our masters and our dignitaries,¹ and they led us astray from the [right] way.

رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِهِمۡ ضِعۡفَيۡنِ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ وَٱلۡعَنۡهُمۡ لَعۡنٗا كَبِيرٗا ٦٨

Rabbanā ātihim ḍiʿfayni minal-ʿadhābi wal-ʿanhum laʿnan kabīrā.

Our Lord, give them double the punishment and curse them with a great curse."

وَقَالُواْ لَوۡ كُنَّا نَسۡمَعُ أَوۡ نَعۡقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِيٓ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ١٠

Wa qālū law kunnā nasmaʿu aw naʿqilu mā kunnā fī aṣḥābis-saʿīr.

And they will say, "If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze."
