lā yasma‘ūna fīhā lagwan illā salāmā(n), wa lahum rizquhum fīhā bukrataw wa ‘asyiyyā(n).

They hear no vain talk there, only peace; they receive provision morning and evening.

تِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِيْ نُوْرِثُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا مَنْ كَانَ تَقِيًّا

tilkal-jannatul-latī nūriṡu min ‘ibādinā man kāna taqiyyā(n).

Such is Paradise, inherited by Our devout servants.

وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ اِلَّا بِاَمْرِ رَبِّكَۚ لَهٗ مَا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْنَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّا ۚ

wa mā natanazzalu illā bi'amri rabbik(a), lahū mā baina aidīnā wa mā khalfanā wa mā baina żālika wa mā kāna rabbuka nasiyyā(n).

We angels descend only by your Lord’s command; to Him belongs what’s before and behind us, and between; your Lord isn’t forgetful.

رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهٖۗ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهٗ سَمِيًّا ࣖ

rabbus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa mā bainahumā fa‘budhu waṣṭabir li‘ibādatih(ī), hal ta‘lamu lahū samiyyā(n).

Lord of heavens, earth, and all between; worship Him, enduring in His worship. Do you know His equal?

وَيَقُوْلُ الْاِنْسَانُ ءَاِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ اُخْرَجُ حَيًّا

wa yaqūlul-insānu a'iżā mā mittu lasaufa ukhraju ḥayyā(n).

Man says, 'When I’m dead, will I be raised alive?'

اَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْـًٔا

awalā yażkurul-insānu annā khalaqnāhu min qablu wa lam yaku syai'ā(n).

Does he not recall We created him before, when he was nothing?

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَالشَّيٰطِيْنَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّا

fa wa rabbika lanaḥsyurannahum wasy-syayāṭīna ṡumma lanuḥḍirannahum ḥaula jahannama jiṡiyyā(n).

By your Lord, We’ll gather them with devils, surrounding Hell, kneeling.

ثُمَّ لَنَنْزِعَنَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شِيْعَةٍ اَيُّهُمْ اَشَدُّ عَلَى الرَّحْمٰنِ عِتِيًّا ۚ

Ṡumma lananzi‘anna min kulli syī‘atin ayyuhum asyaddu ‘alar-raḥmāni ‘itiyyā(n).

We’ll drag from each group the most rebellious against the Most Merciful.

ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ اَوْلٰى بِهَا صِلِيًّا

Ṡumma lanaḥnu a‘lamu bil-lażīna hum aulā bihā ṣiliyyā(n).

We know best who deserves to burn there.

وَاِنْ مِّنْكُمْ اِلَّا وَارِدُهَا ۚ كَانَ عَلٰى رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِيًّا ۚ

wa im minkum illā wāriduhā, kāna ‘alā rabbika ḥatmam maqḍiyyā(n).

None of you will avoid passing over it; your Lord’s decree is fixed.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى الَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوْا وَّنَذَرُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ فِيْهَا جِثِيًّا

Ṡumma nunajjil-lażīnattaqau wa nażaruẓ-ẓālimīna fīhā jiṡiyyā(n).

Then We’ll save the devout, leaving wrongdoers kneeling.

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓاۙ اَيُّ الْفَرِيْقَيْنِ خَيْرٌ مَّقَامًا وَّاَحْسَنُ نَدِيًّا

wa iżā tutlā ‘alaihim āyātunā bayyinātin qālal-lażīna kafarū lil-lażīna āmanū, ayyul-farīqaini khairum maqāmaw wa aḥsanu nadiyyā(n).

When Our clear verses are recited, disbelievers say to believers, 'Which group has better homes and gatherings?'

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ اَحْسَنُ اَثَاثًا وَّرِءْيًا

wa kam ahlaknā qablahum min qarnin hum aḥsanu aṡāṡaw wa ri'yā(n).

How many generations before them We destroyed, with finer goods and appearance?

قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ فِى الضَّلٰلَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ مَدًّا ەۚ حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا يُوْعَدُوْنَ اِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَاِمَّا السَّاعَةَ ۗفَسَيَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّاَضْعَفُ جُنْدًا

qul man kāna fiḍ-ḍalālati falyamdud lahur-raḥmānu maddā(n), ḥattā iżā ra'au mā yū‘adūna immal-‘ażāba wa immas-sā‘ata fa saya‘lamūna man huwa syarrum makānaw wa aḍ‘afu jundā(n).

Say, Muhammad, 'Whoever is astray, the Most Merciful extends time for them, until they see the promised punishment or the Hour; then they’ll know who’s worse off and weaker.'

وَيَزِيْدُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدًىۗ وَالْبٰقِيٰتُ الصّٰلِحٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَّخَيْرٌ مَّرَدًّا

wa yazīdullāhul-lażīnahtadau hudā(n), wal-bāqiyātuṣ-ṣāliḥātu khairun ‘inda rabbika ṡawābaw wa khairum maraddā(n).

Allah increases guidance for the guided; lasting good deeds yield better rewards and outcomes with your Lord.

اَفَرَاَيْتَ الَّذِيْ كَفَرَ بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَاُوْتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَّوَلَدًا ۗ

afa ra'aital-lażī kafara bi'āyātinā wa qāla la'ūtayanna mālaw wa waladā(n).

Have you seen him who denies Our signs, saying, 'I’ll be given wealth and children'?

اَطَّلَعَ الْغَيْبَ اَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا ۙ

aṭṭala‘al-gaiba amittakhaża ‘indar-raḥmāni ‘ahdā(n).

Has he seen the unseen or made a pact with the Most Merciful?

كَلَّا ۗسَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُوْلُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهٗ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا ۙ

kallā, sanaktubu mā yaqūlu wa namuddu lahū minal-‘ażābi maddā(n).

No! We’ll record his words, prolonging his perfect punishment.

وَّنَرِثُهٗ مَا يَقُوْلُ وَيَأْتِيْنَا فَرْدًا

wa nariṡuhū mā yaqūlu wa ya'tīnā fardā(n).

We’ll inherit what he boasts of; he’ll come to Us alone.

وَاتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اٰلِهَةً لِّيَكُوْنُوْا لَهُمْ عِزًّا ۙ

wattakhażū min dūnillāhi ālihatal liyakūnū lahum ‘izzā(n).

They took gods besides Allah, hoping for protection.

كَلَّا ۗسَيَكْفُرُوْنَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُوْنُوْنَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّا ࣖ

kallā, sayakfurūna bi‘ibādatihim wa yakūnūna ‘alaihim ḍiddā(n).

No! Those gods will deny their worship, becoming their foes.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّآ اَرْسَلْنَا الشَّيٰطِيْنَ عَلَى الْكٰفِرِيْنَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ اَزًّا ۙ

alam tara annā arsalnasy-syayāṭīna ‘alal-kāfirīna ta'uzzuhum azzā(n).

Don’t you see We sent devils to disbelievers, urging them to sin?

فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْۗ اِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا ۗ

falā ta‘jal ‘alaihim, innamā na‘uddu lahum ‘addā(n).

Don’t hasten their punishment, Muhammad; We count their time precisely.

يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ اِلَى الرَّحْمٰنِ وَفْدًا

yauma naḥsyurul-muttaqīna ilar-raḥmāni wafdā(n).

On the Day We gather the devout to the Most Merciful as honored guests,

وَنَسُوْقُ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ اِلٰى جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًا ۘ

wa nasūqul-mujrimīna ilā jahannama wirdā(n).

and drive the wicked to Hell, parched with thirst,

لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ الشَّفَاعَةَ اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا ۘ

lā yamlikūnasy-syafā‘ata illā manittakhaża ‘indar-raḥmāni ‘ahdā(n).

none will gain intercession except those with a covenant from the Most Merciful.

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا ۗ

wa qāluttakhażar-raḥmānu waladā(n).

They say, 'The Most Merciful has a son.'

لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْـًٔا اِدًّا ۙ

laqad ji'tum syai'an iddā(n).

You’ve uttered something monstrous,

تَكَادُ السَّمٰوٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنْشَقُّ الْاَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا ۙ

takādus-samāwātu yatafaṭṭarna minhu wa tansyaqqul-arḍu wa takhirrul-jibālu haddā(n).

nearly splitting the heavens, cleaving the earth, and crumbling mountains,

اَنْ دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمٰنِ وَلَدًا ۚ

an da‘au lir-raḥmāni waladā(n).

for claiming the Most Merciful has a son.

وَمَا يَنْۢبَغِيْ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ اَنْ يَّتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا ۗ

wa mā yambagī lir-raḥmāni ay yattakhiża waladā(n).

It’s unfit for the Most Merciful to have a son.

اِنْ كُلُّ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ اِلَّآ اٰتِى الرَّحْمٰنِ عَبْدًا ۗ

in kullu man fis-samāwāti wal-arḍi illā ātir-raḥmāni ‘abdā(n).

All in heavens and earth come to the Most Merciful as servants.

لَقَدْ اَحْصٰىهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا ۗ

laqad aḥṣāhum wa ‘addahum ‘addā(n).

He has counted them, numbering them precisely.

وَكُلُّهُمْ اٰتِيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فَرْدًا

wa kulluhum ātīhi yaumal-qiyāmati fardā(n).

Each will come to Him alone on Judgment Day.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وُدًّا

innal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti sayaj‘alu lahumur-raḥmānu wuddā(n).

Those who believe and do good, the Most Merciful will grant them love.

فَاِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ وَتُنْذِرَ بِهٖ قَوْمًا لُّدًّا

fa innamā yassarnāhu bilisānika litubasysyira bihil-muttaqīna wa tunżira bihī qaumal luddā(n).

We made this Qur’an easy in your tongue, Muhammad, to give glad tidings to the devout and warn the stubborn.

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍۗ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ اَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا ࣖ

wa kam ahlaknā qablahum min qarn(in), hal tuḥissu minhum min aḥadin au tasma‘u lahum rikzā(n).

How many generations before them We destroyed; do you see any of them or hear their whisper?
