سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلۡأَزۡوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمِنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ 36

36        Glorified is He Who has made pairs of all things that are produced by earth and pairs of human beings (male and female) and also of the things they don’t know. (e.g. life Here and of the Hereafter is a pair too. Only Allah is without pair proving the  Oneness of Allah).

وَءَايَةٞ لَّهُمُ ٱلَّيۡلُ نَسۡلَخُ مِنۡهُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظۡلِمُونَ 37

37        And a sign for them is the night. We withdraw the day from it, so you are left in total darkness.

وَٱلشَّمۡسُ تَجۡرِي لِمُسۡتَقَرّٖ لَّهَاۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقۡدِيرُ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡعَلِيمِ 38

38        And the sun travels (or floats) in its assigned orbit for a fixed term. That is the Decree of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing. (Here Allah informed us that eventually the sun will cease to burn. We discovered this fact recently).

وَٱلۡقَمَرَ قَدَّرۡنَٰهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَٱلۡعُرۡجُونِ ٱلۡقَدِيمِ 39

39        And We have fixed the stages (i.e. 28 stages) for the moon till it returns like an old, (dried and curved), branch (of a tree).

لَا ٱلشَّمۡسُ يَنۢبَغِي لَهَآ أَن تُدۡرِكَ ٱلۡقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّيۡلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّهَارِۚ وَكُلّٞ فِي فَلَكٖ يَسۡبَحُونَ 40

40        Neither the sun can overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. And all of them float in their own (assigned) orbits. (Or, each planet also rotates around its own axis, which we discovered recently).

وَءَايَةٞ لَّهُمۡ أَنَّا حَمَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ 41

41        And a sign for them is that We carried their children (of Nuh ( peace be upon him )] in the laden ship.

وَخَلَقۡنَا لَهُم مِّن مِّثۡلِهِۦ مَا يَرۡكَبُونَ 42

42        And We created other similar things, on which you ride (i.e. cars, aeroplanes etc).

وَإِن نَّشَأۡ نُغۡرِقۡهُمۡ فَلَا صَرِيخَ لَهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنقَذُونَ 43

43        And if We will, We shall drown them, and there will be none to hear them, nor will they be saved.

إِلَّا رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنَّا وَمَتَٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٖ 44

44        Unless We show Our mercy to them and let them benefit from this life for a while.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُواْ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ 45

45        And when it is said to them: “Fear (the torment) which is in front of you (i.e. which can occur in the worldly life e.g. drowning in the boat) and which is behind you (i.e. in the Hereafter) in order that you may receive the Mercy (of Allah).”

وَمَا تَأۡتِيهِم مِّنۡ ءَايَةٖ مِّنۡ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهَا مُعۡرِضِينَ 46

46        And whenever a revelation comes to them from the revelations of their Creator, they turn away from it.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ أَنفِقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَنُطۡعِمُ مَن لَّوۡ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ أَطۡعَمَهُۥٓ إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ 47

47        And when it is said to them: “Spend from that which Allah has given you”, the disbelievers say to the believers: “Shall we feed those whom, if Allah willed, He (Himself) would have fed? You are in obvious error.”

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ 48

48        And they say (jokingly): “When will this promise (i.e. the Day of Judgement) be fulfilled, if you are truthful?”

مَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ تَأۡخُذُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ يَخِصِّمُونَ 49

49        They are only waiting for a single shout (i.e. blowing of the first Trumpet) which will seize them while they are disputing!

فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ تَوۡصِيَةٗ وَلَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ 50

50        So they will not be able to make a will, nor will they be able to return to their family.

وَنُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَنسِلُونَ 51

51        And at the blowing of the (second) Trumpet, they will suddenly come out of their graves and will rush towards their Creator. 

قَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا مَنۢ بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرۡقَدِنَاۜۗ هَٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَصَدَقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ 52

52        They will say: “Woe to us! Who woke us up from our place of sleep?” (It does not mean that there will be no punishment in the grave. As compared with the horrors of the Day of Resurrection, the period of stay in the grave will appear like a brief rest in a place of sleep). (It will be said to them): “This is what the Most Gracious (Allah) had promised and the messengers did speak the truth!”

إِن كَانَتۡ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ فَإِذَا هُمۡ جَمِيعٞ لَّدَيۡنَا مُحۡضَرُونَ 53

53        It will be a single shout (i.e. blowing of the second Trumpet), so they will be very quickly brought before Us!

فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ لَا تُظۡلَمُ نَفۡسٞ شَيۡ‍ٔٗا وَلَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ 54

54        So on this Day (of Resur-rection), none will be wronged in any away, nor will you be treated except according to your deeds.

إِنَّ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ فِي شُغُلٖ فَٰكِهُونَ 55

55        Indeed, the residents of Para-dise will be joyfully busy in their favourite activities.
