وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٞ 6

6 And, indeed, the reward and punishment (of deeds) shall surely occur. 

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡحُبُكِ 7

7 By the heaven which has paths (for the angels to travel). 

إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِي قَوۡلٖ مُّخۡتَلِفٖ 8

8 (As an answer to this swear-ing) Indeed, you have different ideas (about the Hereafter, about Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)  etc).

يُؤۡفَكُ عَنۡهُ مَنۡ أُفِكَ 9

9 Only those (among you) will be turned away (from the concept of the Here-after etc) who is supposed to be turned away (by the Decree and Preordainment).

قُتِلَ ٱلۡخَرَّٰصُونَ 10

10 May those be destroyed who talk about (the Hereafter) without any proof.

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَةٖ سَاهُونَ 11

11 Who are lost in carelessness due to their heedlessness.

يَسۡ‍َٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ 12

12 They ask (jokingly and sarcas-tically): “When will the Day of Judgement be?” 

يَوۡمَ هُمۡ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفۡتَنُونَ 13

13 (It will be) the Day when they will be punished (i.e. burned) in the Fire.

ذُوقُواْ فِتۡنَتَكُمۡ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ 14

14 (It will be said): “Taste (the  punishment) of your mischief. That is what you used to hasten for!”

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٍ 15

15 Indeed, the pious persons will be in Gardens and Springs (in Paradise).

ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحۡسِنِينَ 16

16 They will receive (cheerfully) what their Creator will grant them. They were, indeed, the good-doers even before this.

كَانُواْ قَلِيلٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ مَا يَهۡجَعُونَ 17

17 They used to sleep very little at night (to perform voluntary prayers beyond obligatory prayers).

وَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ 18

18 And before dawn, they used to ask Allah for forgiveness.

وَفِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ 19

19 And in their wealth there was the right for the beggar who asks and also for the poor who does not ask others for help.

وَفِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ءَايَٰتٞ لِّلۡمُوقِنِينَ 20

20 And in the earth there are signs for those who have firm faith.

وَفِيٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ 21

21 And there are also signs in yourselves. Will you not then see?

وَفِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقُكُمۡ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ 22

22 And your provision and what you are promised (i.e. rain, reward etc.) are in the heaven.

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقّٞ مِّثۡلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمۡ تَنطِقُونَ 23

23 By the Creator of the heaven and the earth, it (the Hereafter) is the truth just as it is the truth that you can speak.

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيۡفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِينَ 24

24 [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) !] Has the story of the honoured (since they were angels) guests of Ibrahim ( peace be upon him )reached you?

إِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيۡهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗاۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٞ قَوۡمٞ مُّنكَرُونَ 25

25 When they came to him [Ibrahim (peace be upon him ) ], then they said: “Peace be upon you!” He [Ibrahim (peace be upon him ) ] answered: “Peace be upon you too. (And he said to him-self) these are the people who are strangers to me.”
