قُلۡ أَنزَلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يَعۡلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفُورٗا رَّحِيمٗا 6

6        Say: “It (the Quran) has been sent down by Him Who knows the secrets of the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is Very-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

وَقَالُواْ مَالِ هَٰذَا ٱلرَّسُولِ يَأۡكُلُ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَيَمۡشِي فِي ٱلۡأَسۡوَاقِ لَوۡلَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡهِ مَلَكٞ فَيَكُونَ مَعَهُۥ نَذِيرًا 7

7        And they say: “What a strange messenger is this? He eats (as we eat) and walks around the market (like we do). Why is not an angel sent down to him to act as a warner with him?

أَوۡ يُلۡقَىٰٓ إِلَيۡهِ كَنزٌ أَوۡ تَكُونُ لَهُۥ جَنَّةٞ يَأۡكُلُ مِنۡهَاۚ وَقَالَ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلٗا مَّسۡحُورًا 8

8        “Or (why) has he not been granted a treasure (so that he doesn’t have to look for means of livelihood)? Or why does he not have a garden to eat from it?” And the wrong-doers say: “You are merely following a bewitched man.”

ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ ضَرَبُواْ لَكَ ٱلۡأَمۡثَٰلَ فَضَلُّواْ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلٗا 9

9        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] Note how many different examples they coin about you. So they themselves are led astray by these, and cannot find a (Right) Path.

تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِيٓ إِن شَآءَ جَعَلَ لَكَ خَيۡرٗا مِّن ذَٰلِكَ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ وَيَجۡعَل لَّكَ قُصُورَۢا 10

10        Blessed is He Who, if He wills, will grant you far superior (gardens) than all that – Gardens beneath which rivers flow and will grant you palaces (in the Paradise).

بَلۡ كَذَّبُواْ بِٱلسَّاعَةِۖ وَأَعۡتَدۡنَا لِمَن كَذَّبَ بِٱلسَّاعَةِ سَعِيرًا 11

11        In fact, they deny the Hereafter, and We have prepared a flaming Fire for those who deny the Hereafter.

إِذَا رَأَتۡهُم مِّن مَّكَانِۢ بَعِيدٖ سَمِعُواْ لَهَا تَغَيُّظٗا وَزَفِيرٗا 12

12        When it (Hell) will see them from a distant, they will hear its raging (with anger) and roaring. (Also Surah Al-Mulk:7, 8)

وَإِذَآ أُلۡقُواْ مِنۡهَا مَكَانٗا ضَيِّقٗا مُّقَرَّنِينَ دَعَوۡاْ هُنَالِكَ ثُبُورٗا 13

13        And when they shall be chained together and thrown in some narrow spot (of Hell), they shall long for death there.

لَّا تَدۡعُواْ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ ثُبُورٗا وَٰحِدٗا وَٱدۡعُواْ ثُبُورٗا كَثِيرٗا 14

14        Today don’t long for one death, rather long for many deaths.

قُلۡ أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٌ أَمۡ جَنَّةُ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ ٱلَّتِي وُعِدَ ٱلۡمُتَّقُونَۚ كَانَتۡ لَهُمۡ جَزَآءٗ وَمَصِيرٗا 15

15        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)] say: “Is that (torment) better or the Paradise of Eternity which is promised to the pious people?” It (Paradise) is their reward and their final destination.

لَّهُمۡ فِيهَا مَا يَشَآءُونَ خَٰلِدِينَۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ وَعۡدٗا مَّسۡ‍ُٔولٗا 16

16        They will have in it whatever they desire. They will reside there (forever). It is a promise from your Creator which must be fulfilled.

وَيَوۡمَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡ وَمَا يَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ ءَأَنتُمۡ أَضۡلَلۡتُمۡ عِبَادِي هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ أَمۡ هُمۡ ضَلُّواْ ٱلسَّبِيلَ 17

17        And on the Day when Allah will gather them and those whom they worshipped besides Allah, then Allah will ask them: “Did you lead my slaves astray or did they (themselves) go astray from the (Right) Path?”

قَالُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَكَ مَا كَانَ يَنۢبَغِي لَنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ مِن دُونِكَ مِنۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ وَلَٰكِن مَّتَّعۡتَهُمۡ وَءَابَآءَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ نَسُواْ ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَكَانُواْ قَوۡمَۢا بُورٗا 18

18        They will say: “Glorified You are! It was not befitting for us to make protectors beside You, but You gave them and their forefathers luxuries till they forgot the reminder and actually they were the people who deserved the destruction.”

فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُوكُم بِمَا تَقُولُونَ فَمَا تَسۡتَطِيعُونَ صَرۡفٗا وَلَا نَصۡرٗاۚ وَمَن يَظۡلِم مِّنكُمۡ نُذِقۡهُ عَذَابٗا كَبِيرٗا 19

19        (Allah will say): “Now they (your false gods) have denied what you used to say. So neither you can turn away My torment, nor can you help yourselves. And whoever among you have wronged, We will make him taste a big torment.”

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا قَبۡلَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ إِلَّآ إِنَّهُمۡ لَيَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَيَمۡشُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَسۡوَاقِۗ وَجَعَلۡنَا بَعۡضَكُمۡ لِبَعۡضٖ فِتۡنَةً أَتَصۡبِرُونَۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ بَصِيرٗا 20

20        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] And We did not send any messenger before you, but they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you as a trial for the others. (Those who were patient came out successful). Will you have patience too? And your Creator is All-Seer (of everything).

۞وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرۡجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا لَوۡلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَوۡ نَرَىٰ رَبَّنَاۗ لَقَدِ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ وَعَتَوۡ عُتُوّٗا كَبِيرٗا 21

21        And those who don’t expect a Meeting with Us, said: “Why are the angels not sent down to us (i.e. (i) angels should be sent as messengers to us (ii) we should see the angels with our eyes and they testify your Prophethood)? Or why do we not see our Creator?” Indeed, they think too high of themselves and are extremely arrogant.

يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ لَا بُشۡرَىٰ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ وَيَقُولُونَ حِجۡرٗا مَّحۡجُورٗا 22

22        On the Day they will see the angels, there will be no glad tidings for the criminals that Day. (Angels will) say: “These are the ones who are absolutely deprived (of any glad tidings).”

وَقَدِمۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مَا عَمِلُواْ مِنۡ عَمَلٖ فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ هَبَآءٗ مَّنثُورًا 23

23        And We will advance towards the (good) deeds of the disbelievers (which they did in this world) and make them (useless) like scattered particles of dust.

أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ يَوۡمَئِذٍ خَيۡرٞ مُّسۡتَقَرّٗا وَأَحۡسَنُ مَقِيلٗا 24

24        On that Day the residents of Paradise will have an excellent residence and wonderful resting place.

وَيَوۡمَ تَشَقَّقُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِٱلۡغَمَٰمِ وَنُزِّلَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ تَنزِيلًا 25

25        And the Day when the sky shall split apart along with the clouds and the angels will be sent down continuously.
