إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ ١٨

For lo! he did consider; then he planned -

19

فَقُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ ١٩

فَقَالَ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ يُؤۡثَرُ ٢٤

And said: This is naught else than magic from of old;

25

إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوۡلُ ٱلۡبَشَرِ ٢٥

This is naught else than speech of mortal man.

Above it are nineteen.

31

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةٗۖ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا عِدَّتَهُمۡ إِلَّا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِيَسۡتَيۡقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَيَزۡدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِيمَٰنٗا وَلَا يَرۡتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡبَشَرِ ٣١

We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.

32

كـَلَّا وَٱلۡقَمَرِ ٣٢

Nay, by the Moon

33

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذۡ أَدۡبَرَ ٣٣

And the night when it withdraweth

34

وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَآ أَسۡفَرَ ٣٤

And the dawn when it shineth forth,

35

إِنَّهَا لَإِحۡدَى ٱلۡكُبَرِ ٣٥

Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents)

36

نَذِيرٗا لِّلۡبَشَرِ ٣٦

As a warning unto men,

37

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمۡ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوۡ يَتَأَخَّرَ ٣٧

Unto him of you who will advance or hang back.

38

كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡ رَهِينَةٌ ٣٨

Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds;

39

إِلَّآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ٣٩

Save those who will stand on the right hand.

40

فِي جَنَّٰتٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ٤٠

In gardens they will ask one another

41

عَنِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ ٤١

Concerning the guilty:

42

مَا سَلَكَكُمۡ فِي سَقَرَ ٤٢

What hath brought you to this burning?

43

قَالُواْ لَمۡ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ ٤٣

They will answer: We were not of those who prayed

44

وَلَمۡ نَكُ نُطۡعِمُ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينَ ٤٤

Nor did we feed the wretched.

45

وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلۡخَآئِضِينَ ٤٥

We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,

46

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ ٤٦

And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,

47

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلۡيَقِينُ ٤٧

Till the Inevitable came unto us.

48

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمۡ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ ٤٨

The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.

49

فَمَا لَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلتَّذۡكِرَةِ مُعۡرِضِينَ ٤٩

Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,

50

كَأَنَّهُمۡ حُمُرٞ مُّسۡتَنفِرَةٞ ٥٠

As they were frightened asses

51

فَرَّتۡ مِن قَسۡوَرَةِۭ ٥١

Fleeing from a lion?

52

بَلۡ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُؤۡتَىٰ صُحُفٗا مُّنَشَّرَةٗ ٥٢

Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah).

53

كـَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ ٥٣

Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter.

54

كـَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذۡكِرَةٞ ٥٤

Nay, verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment.

55

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ٥٥

So whosoever will may heed.

56

وَمَا يَذۡكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ هُوَ أَهۡلُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ وَأَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِ ٥٦

And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.
