اَمۡرًا مِّنۡ عِنۡدِنَا‌ؕ اِنَّا كُنَّا مُرۡسِلِيۡنَ‌ۚ‏ ﴿۵﴾

As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending - ﴾5﴿

Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure. ﴾7﴿

But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke ﴾10﴿

يَغۡشَى النَّاسَ‌ؕ هٰذَا عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌ‏ ﴿۱۱﴾

That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment. ﴾11﴿

رَّبَّنَا اكۡشِفۡ عَنَّا الۡعَذَابَ اِنَّا مُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۲﴾

(Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are believers. ﴾12﴿

اَنّٰى لَهُمُ الذِّكۡرٰى وَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ رَسُوۡلٌ مُّبِيۡنٌۙ‏ ﴿۱۳﴾

How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had already come unto them, ﴾13﴿

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوۡا عَنۡهُ وَقَالُوۡا مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجۡنُوۡنٌ‌ۘ‏ ﴿۱۴﴾

And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman? ﴾14﴿

Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief). ﴾15﴿

Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you. ﴾18﴿

وَاَنۡ لَّا تَعۡلُوۡا عَلَى اللّٰهِ‌ۚ اِنِّىۡۤ اٰتِيۡكُمۡ بِسُلۡطٰنٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ‌ۚ‏ ﴿۱۹﴾

And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant. ﴾19﴿

And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host. ﴾24﴿

كَمۡ تَرَكُوۡا مِنۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوۡنٍۙ‏ ﴿۲۵﴾

How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind, ﴾25﴿

وَّزُرُوۡعٍ وَّمَقَامٍ كَرِيۡمٍۙ‏ ﴿۲۶﴾

And the cornlands and the goodly sites ﴾26﴿

وَّنَعۡمَةٍ كَانُوۡا فِيۡهَا فٰكِهِيۡنَۙ‏ ﴿۲۷﴾

And pleasant things wherein they took delight! ﴾27﴿

كَذٰلِكَ‌ وَاَوۡرَثۡنٰهَا قَوۡمًا اٰخَرِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۸﴾

Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk; ﴾28﴿

فَمَا بَكَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ السَّمَآءُ وَالۡاَرۡضُ وَمَا كَانُوۡا مُنۡظَرِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۹﴾

And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved. ﴾29﴿

مِنۡ فِرۡعَوۡنَ‌ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ الۡمُسۡرِفِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۱﴾

(We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones. ﴾31﴿

وَلَقَدِ اخۡتَرۡنٰهُمۡ عَلٰى عِلۡمٍ عَلَى الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ‌ۚ‏ ﴿۳۲﴾

And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures. ﴾32﴿

وَاٰتَيۡنٰهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاٰيٰتِ مَا فِيۡهِ بَلٰٓؤٌا مُّبِيۡنٌ‏ ﴿۳۳﴾

And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial. ﴾33﴿

اِنَّ هٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَۙ‏ ﴿۳۴﴾

Lo! these, forsooth, are saying: ﴾34﴿

اِنۡ هِىَ اِلَّا مَوۡتَتُنَا الۡاُوۡلٰى وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُنۡشَرِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۵﴾

There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be raised again. ﴾35﴿

فَاۡتُوۡا بِاٰبَآٮِٕنَاۤ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۶﴾

Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth! ﴾36﴿

We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not. ﴾39﴿

اِنَّ يَوۡمَ الۡفَصۡلِ مِيۡقَاتُهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَۙ‏ ﴿۴۰﴾

Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them, ﴾40﴿

Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies ﴾45﴿

كَغَلۡىِ الۡحَمِيۡمِ‏ ﴿۴۶﴾

As the seething of boiling water. ﴾46﴿

خُذُوۡهُ فَاعۡتِلُوۡهُ اِلٰى سَوَآءِ الۡجَحِيۡمِۙ‏ ﴿۴۷﴾

(And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell, ﴾47﴿

ثُمَّ صُبُّوۡا فَوۡقَ رَاۡسِهٖ مِنۡ عَذَابِ الۡحَمِيۡمِؕ‏ ﴿۴۸﴾

يَّلۡبَسُوۡنَ مِنۡ سُنۡدُسٍ وَّاِسۡتَبۡرَقٍ مُّتَقٰبِلِيۡنَۚ ۙ‏ ﴿۵۳﴾

Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another. ﴾53﴿

كَذٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجۡنٰهُمۡ بِحُوۡرٍ عِيۡنٍؕ‏ ﴿۵۴﴾

Even so (it will be). And We shall wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes. ﴾54﴿
