وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفْسُهُۥ ۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ ٱلْوَرِيدِ﴿١٦﴾

We verily created man and We know what his soul whispereth to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein.

إِذْ يَتَلَقَّى ٱلْمُتَلَقِّيَانِ عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ قَعِيدٌ﴿١٧﴾

When the two Receivers receive (him), seated on the right hand and on the left,

مَّا يَلْفِظُ مِن قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌ﴿١٨﴾

He uttereth no word but there is with him an observer ready.

وَجَآءَتْ سَكْرَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنتَ مِنْهُ تَحِيدُ﴿١٩﴾

And the agony of death cometh in truth. (And it is said unto him): This is that which thou wast wont to shun.

وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلْوَعِيدِ﴿٢٠﴾

And the trumpet is blown. This is the threatened Day.

وَجَآءَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّعَهَا سَآئِقٌ وَشَهِيدٌ﴿٢١﴾

And every soul cometh, along with it a driver and a witness.

لَّقَدْ كُنتَ فِى غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هَـٰذَا فَكَشَفْنَا عَنكَ غِطَآءَكَ فَبَصَرُكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ حَدِيدٌ﴿٢٢﴾

(And unto the evil-doer it is said): Thou wast in heedlessness of this. Now We have removed from thee thy covering, and piercing is thy sight this day.

وَقَالَ قَرِينُهُۥ هَـٰذَا مَا لَدَىَّ عَتِيدٌ﴿٢٣﴾

And (unto the evil-doer) his comrade saith: This is that which I have ready (as testimony).

أَلْقِيَا فِى جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ﴿٢٤﴾

(And it is said): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel ingrate,

مَّنَّاعٍ لِّلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ مُّرِيبٍ﴿٢٥﴾

Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter,

ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَأَلْقِيَاهُ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلشَّدِيدِ﴿٢٦﴾

Who setteth up another god along with Allah. Do ye twain hurl him to the dreadful doom.

۞ قَالَ قَرِينُهُۥ رَبَّنَا مَآ أَطْغَيْتُهُۥ وَلَـٰكِن كَانَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍۭ بَعِيدٍ﴿٢٧﴾

His comrade saith: Our Lord! I did not cause him to rebel, but he was (himself) far gone in error.

قَالَ لَا تَخْتَصِمُوا۟ لَدَىَّ وَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكُم بِٱلْوَعِيدِ﴿٢٨﴾

He saith: Contend not in My presence, when I had already proffered unto you the warning.

مَا يُبَدَّلُ ٱلْقَوْلُ لَدَىَّ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِظَلَّـٰمٍ لِّلْعَبِيدِ﴿٢٩﴾

The sentence that cometh from Me cannot be changed, and I am in no wise a tyrant unto the slaves.

يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ ٱمْتَلَأْتِ وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِن مَّزِيدٍ﴿٣٠﴾

On the day when We say unto hell: Art thou filled? and it saith: Can there be more to come?

وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ﴿٣١﴾

And the Garden is brought nigh for those who kept from evil, no longer distant.

هَـٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍ﴿٣٢﴾

(And it is said): This is that which ye were promised. (It is) for every penitent and heedful one,

مَّنْ خَشِىَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنَ بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَجَآءَ بِقَلْبٍ مُّنِيبٍ﴿٣٣﴾

Who feareth the Beneficent in secret and cometh with a contrite heart.

ٱدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَـٰمٍ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلْخُلُودِ﴿٣٤﴾

Enter it in peace. This is the day of immortality.

لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٌ﴿٣٥﴾

There they have all that they desire, and there is more with Us.
