The day We shall gather the Godwary toward the All-beneficent, on mounts

Wanasooqu almujrimeena ila jahannama wirdan

Wa Nasūqu Al-Mujrimīna 'Ilá Jahannama Wirdāan

and drive the guilty as a thirsty herd towards hell

La yamlikoona alshshafaAAata illa mani ittakhatha AAinda alrrahmani AAahdan

Lā Yamlikūna Ash-Shafā`ata 'Illā Mani Attakhadha `Inda Ar-Raĥmāni `Ahdāan

no one will have the power to intercede [with Allah], except for him who has taken a covenant with the All-beneficent

Waqaloo ittakhatha alrrahmanu waladan

Wa Qālū Attakhadha Ar-Raĥmānu Waladāan

They say, ‘The All-beneficent has taken a son!’

Laqad jitum shayan iddan

Laqad Ji'tum Shay'āan 'Iddāan

You have certainly advanced something hideous

Takadu alssamawatu yatafattarna minhu watanshaqqu alardu watakhirru aljibalu haddan

Takādu As-Samāwātu Yatafaţţarna Minhu Wa Tanshaqqu Al-'Arđu Wa Takhirru Al-Jibālu Haddāan

The heavens are about to be rent apart at it, the earth to split open, and the mountains to collapse into bits

An daAAaw lilrrahmani waladan

An Da`aw Lilrraĥmani Waladāan

that they should ascribe a son to the All-beneficent

Wama yanbaghee lilrrahmani an yattakhitha waladan

Wa Mā Yanbaghī Lilrraĥmani 'An Yattakhidha Waladāan

It does not behoove the All-beneficent to take a son

In kullu man fee alssamawati waalardi illa atee alrrahmani AAabdan

In Kullu Man Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'Arđi 'Illā 'Ātī Ar-Raĥmāni `Abdāan

There is none in the heavens and the earth but he comes to the All-beneficent as a servant

Laqad ahsahum waAAaddahum AAaddan

Laqad 'Aĥşāhum Wa `Addahum `Addāan

Certainly He has counted them [all] and numbered them precisely

Wakulluhum ateehi yawma alqiyamati fardan

Wa Kulluhum 'Ātīhi Yawma Al-Qiyāmati Fardāan

and each of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection

Inna allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati sayajAAalu lahumu alrrahmanu wuddan

Inna Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Wa `Amilū Aş-Şāliĥāti Sayaj`alu Lahumu Ar-Raĥmānu Wuddāan

Indeed those who have faith and do righteous deeds—the All-beneficent will endear them [to His creation]

Fainnama yassarnahu bilisanika litubashshira bihi almuttaqeena watunthira bihi qawman luddan

Fa'innamā Yassarnāhu Bilisānika Litubashira Bihi Al-Muttaqīna Wa Tundhira Bihi Qawmāan Luddāan

Indeed We have made it simple in your language so that you may give good news thereby to the Godwary and warn with it a disputatious lot

Wakam ahlakna qablahum min qarnin hal tuhissu minhum min ahadin aw tasmaAAu lahum rikzan

Wa Kam 'Ahlaknā Qablahum Min Qarnin Hal Tuĥissu Minhum Min 'Aĥadin 'Aw Tasma`u Lahum Rikzāan

How many a generation We have destroyed before them! Can you descry any one of them, or hear from them so much as a murmur
