وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَٱسْجُدْ لَهُۥ وَسَبِّحْهُ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا﴿٢٦﴾

And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night.

إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ يُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَآءَهُمْ يَوْمًا ثَقِيلًا﴿٢٧﴾

Lo! these love fleeting life, and put behind them (the remembrance of) a grievous day.

نَّحْنُ خَلَقْنَـٰهُمْ وَشَدَدْنَآ أَسْرَهُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا شِئْنَا بَدَّلْنَآ أَمْثَـٰلَهُمْ تَبْدِيلًا﴿٢٨﴾

We, even We, created them, and strengthened their frame. And when We will, We can replace them, bringing others like them in their stead.

إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِۦ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلًا﴿٢٩﴾

Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord.

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا﴿٣٠﴾

Yet ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise.

يُدْخِلُ مَن يَشَآءُ فِى رَحْمَتِهِۦ ۚ وَٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًۢا﴿٣١﴾

He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepared a painful doom.

وَٱلْمُرْسَلَـٰتِ عُرْفًا﴿١﴾

By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another

فَٱلْعَـٰصِفَـٰتِ عَصْفًا﴿٢﴾

By the raging hurricanes,

وَٱلنَّـٰشِرَٰتِ نَشْرًا﴿٣﴾

By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive;

فَٱلْفَـٰرِقَـٰتِ فَرْقًا﴿٤﴾

By those who winnow with a winnowing,

فَٱلْمُلْقِيَـٰتِ ذِكْرًا﴿٥﴾

By those who bring down the Reminder,

عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا﴿٦﴾

To excuse or to warn,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٌ﴿٧﴾

Surely that which ye are promised will befall.

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ﴿٨﴾

So when the stars are put out,

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتْ﴿٩﴾

And when the sky is riven asunder,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ﴿١٠﴾

And when the mountains are blown away,

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ﴿١١﴾

And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed -

لِأَىِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ﴿١٢﴾

For what day is the time appointed?

لِيَوْمِ ٱلْفَصْلِ﴿١٣﴾

For the Day of Decision.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ﴿١٤﴾

And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! -

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ﴿١٥﴾

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ﴿١٦﴾

Destroyed We not the former folk,

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ﴿١٧﴾

Then caused the latter folk to follow after?

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ﴿١٨﴾

Thus deal We ever with the guilty.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ﴿١٩﴾

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
