إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَـٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ﴿٤٠﴾

Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them,

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْـًٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ﴿٤١﴾

A day when friend can in naught avail friend, nor can they be helped,

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴿٤٢﴾

Save him on whom Allah hath mercy. Lo! He is the Mighty, the Merciful.

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ﴿٤٣﴾

Lo! the tree of Zaqqum,

طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ﴿٤٤﴾

The food of the sinner!

كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ﴿٤٥﴾

Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies

كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ﴿٤٦﴾

As the seething of boiling water.

خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ﴿٤٧﴾

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

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ﴿٤٨﴾

Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water.

ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ﴿٤٩﴾

(Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble!

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ﴿٥٠﴾

Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ﴿٥١﴾

Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured.

فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ﴿٥٢﴾

Amid gardens and watersprings,

يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ﴿٥٣﴾

Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another.

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَـٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ﴿٥٤﴾

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

يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَـٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ﴿٥٥﴾

They call therein for every fruit in safety.

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ﴿٥٦﴾

They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell,

فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ﴿٥٧﴾

A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph.

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَـٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ﴿٥٨﴾

And We have made (this Scripture) easy in thy language only that they may heed.

فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ﴿٥٩﴾

Wait then (O Muhammad). Lo! they (too) are waiting.
