إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ 13

13 When Our Verses are recited to him, he says: “These are tales of ancient times!”

كَلَّاۖ بَلۡۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ 14

14 Not at all. In fact, there is rust covering their hearts due to the (evil) deeds they used to do.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمۡ عَن رَّبِّهِمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّمَحۡجُوبُونَ 15

15 Not at all (i.e. the thinking of the disbelievers is not correct). They (the disbelievers) will, indeed, be kept behind a barrier to prevent them from seeing their Creator that Day.

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمۡ لَصَالُواْ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ 16

16 Then they will, indeed, enter Hell-Fire.

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ 17

17 Then it will be said to them: “This is what you used to deny.”

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ 18

18        Not at all (i.e. the thinking of the disbelievers is not correct).  Indeed, the Record (of deeds) of the pious persons is (preserved) in Illiyyen (a location in Paradise).

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ 19

19 And what do you know, what Illiyyun is?

كِتَٰبٞ مَّرۡقُومٞ 20

20 It is a written book (i.e. all deeds are written in it).

يَشۡهَدُهُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ 21

21 The nearest (to Allah i.e. angels) witness it.

إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ 22

22 Indeed, the pious persons will be in Delight (i.e. Paradise)

عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ 23

23 (Seated) on couches, they will be looking (at all things).

تَعۡرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ 24

24 You will recognize the bright-ness on their faces due to the favours (of Allah).

يُسۡقَوۡنَ مِن رَّحِيقٖ مَّخۡتُومٍ 25

25 They will be served with pure sealed wine to drink.

خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسۡكٞۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلۡيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلۡمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ 26

26        It will have the scent of musk. Hence, let all those who strive (for good), strive towards these (Favours and rewards of Allah). (Also see Surah As-Saffat:61)

وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسۡنِيمٍ 27

27 And (that wine) will be mixed with Tasnim (the best wine of Paradise).

عَيۡنٗا يَشۡرَبُ بِهَا ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ 28

28 It is a spring from which only those who are nearest to Allah drink.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْ كَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَضۡحَكُونَ 29

29 Indeed, the criminals used to laugh at the believers (during the worldly life).

وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِهِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُونَ 30

30 And whenever they (the dis-believers) happened to pass near the believers, the disbelievers used to wink (to one another to mock at the believers).

وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُواْ فَكِهِينَ 31

31 And when the disbelievers returned to their families, they would return joking (and laughing at the believers).

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ 32

32 And whenever they (the disbelievers) saw the believers, they said: “Indeed, these are the people out of their minds!”
