The people's day of reckoning is drawing closer, yet they are heedlessly neglectful

Ma yateehim min thikrin min rabbihim muhdathin illa istamaAAoohu wahum yalAAaboona

How many unjust towns did We destroy and replace them with other nations

Falamma ahassoo basana itha hum minha yarkudoona

Falammā 'Aĥassū Ba'sanā 'Idhā Hum Minhā Yarkuđūna

When they found Our torment approaching them they started to run away from the town

Lā Tarkuđū Wa Arji`ū 'Ilá Mā 'Utriftum Fīhi Wa Masākinikum La`allakum Tus'alūna

We told them, "Do not run away. Come back to your luxuries and your houses so that you can be questioned

Law aradna an nattakhitha lahwan laittakhathnahu min ladunna in kunna faAAileena

Law 'Aradnā 'An Nattakhidha Lahwan Lāttakhadhnāhu Min Ladunnā 'In Kunnā Fā`ilīna

Yusabbiĥūna Al-Layla Wa An-Nahāra Lā Yafturūna

La yusalu AAamma yafAAalu wahum yusaloona

Lā Yus'alu `Ammā Yaf`alu Wa Hum Yus'alūna

He will not be questioned about anything He does, but all people will be questioned about their deeds

Have they chosen other gods besides God? (Muhammad), ask them, "Show the proof (in support of such belief). This is (the Quran) which tells us about the (beliefs of the people) in my time and those who lived before me." Most of them do not know. Moreover, the truth is that they neglect (the question of belief altogether)

Wama arsalna min qablika min rasoolin illa noohee ilayhi annahu la ilaha illa ana faoAAbudooni

Wa Mā 'Arsalnā Min Qablika Min Rasūl 'Iinillā Nūĥī 'Ilayhi 'Annahu Lā 'Ilāha 'Illā 'Anā Fā`budūni

Waqaloo ittakhatha alrrahmanu waladan subhanahu bal AAibadun mukramoona

Wa Qālū Attakhadha Ar-Raĥmānu Waladāan Subĥānahu Bal `Ibādun Mukramūna

La yasbiqoonahu bialqawli wahum biamrihi yaAAmaloona

Lā Yasbiqūnahu Bil-Qawli Wa Hum Bi'amrihi Ya`malūna

Ya`lamu Mā Bayna 'Aydīhim Wa Mā Khalfahum Wa Lā Yashfa`ūna 'Illā Limani Artađá Wa Hum Min Khashyatihi Mushfiqūna

Have the unbelievers not ever considered that the heavens and the earth were one piece and that We tore them apart from one another. From water We have created all living things. Will they then have no faith

WajaAAalna fee alardi rawasiya an tameeda bihim wajaAAalna feeha fijajan subulan laAAallahum yahtadoona

Wa Ja`alnā Fī Al-'Arđi Rawāsiya 'An Tamīda Bihim Wa Ja`alnā Fīhā Fijājāan Subulāan La`allahum Yahtadūna

Wa Ja`alnā As-Samā'a Saqfāan Maĥfūžāan Wa Hum `An 'Āyātihā Mu`riđūna

Wahuwa allathee khalaqa allayla waalnnahara waalshshamsa waalqamara kullun fee falakin yasbahoona

Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī Khalaqa Al-Layla Wa An-Nahāra Wa Ash-Shamsa Wa Al-Qamara Kullun Fī Falakin Yasbaĥūna

Kullu Nafsin Dhā'iqatu Al-Mawti Wa Nablūkum Bish-Sharri Wa Al-Khayri Fitnatan Wa 'Ilaynā Turja`ūna

Every soul has to experience the taste of death. We test you with both hardships and blessings. In the end you will all return to Us

Waitha raaka allatheena kafaroo in yattakhithoonaka illa huzuwan ahatha allathee yathkuru alihatakum wahum bithikri alrrahmani hum kafiroona

(Muhammad), whenever the unbelievers see you, they think that you deserve nothing more than to be mocked. They say, "Is it he, (Muhammad), who speaks against your gods?" But they themselves have no faith at all in the Beneficent God

Khuliqa alinsanu min AAajalin saoreekum ayatee fala tastaAAjiloona

Law Ya`lamu Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Ĥīna Lā Yakuffūna `An Wujūhihimu An-Nāra Wa Lā `An Žuhūrihim Wa Lā Hum Yunşarūna

Would that the unbelievers knew that no one would protect their faces and backs against the fire, nor they would be helped

Bal tateehim baghtatan fatabhatuhum fala yastateeAAoona raddaha wala hum yuntharoona

Bal Ta'tīhim Baghtatan Fatabhatuhum Falā Yastaţī`ūna Raddahā Wa Lā Hum Yunžarūna

The fire will suddenly strike and confound them. They will not be able to repel it, nor will they be given any respite

Walaqadi istuhzia birusulin min qablika fahaqa biallatheena sakhiroo minhum ma kanoo bihi yastahzioona

Wa Laqadi Astuhzi'a Birusulin Min Qablika Faĥāqa Bial-Ladhīna Sakhirū Minhum Mā Kānū Bihi Yastahzi'ūn

They mocked the Messengers who were sent before you; thus, the torment which they had ridiculed encompassed them all

Qul man yaklaokum biallayli waalnnahari mina alrrahmani bal hum AAan thikri rabbihim muAAridoona

Qul Man Yakla'uukum Bil-Layli Wa An-Nahāri Mina Ar-Raĥmāni Bal Hum `An Dhikri Rabbihim Mu`riđūna

Ask them, "Who can protect them from (the wrath of) the Beneficent God during the night and day?" Yet they are neglectful about their Lord

Am lahum alihatun tamnaAAuhum min doonina la yastateeAAoona nasra anfusihim wala hum minna yushaboona

Am Lahum 'Ālihatun Tamna`uhum Min Dūninā Lā Yastaţī`ūna Naşra 'Anfusihim Wa Lā Hum Minnā Yuşĥabūna

Can their gods protect them against Us? Their gods have no power even to help themselves, nor are they safe from Our retribution

Bal mattaAAna haolai waabaahum hatta tala AAalayhimu alAAumuru afala yarawna anna natee alarda nanqusuha min atrafiha afahumu alghaliboona

We have been providing these men and their fathers with the means of enjoyment for a long time. Have they not ever considered that We populated the earth and then caused many of the inhabitants to pass away? Can they have any success (in their wickedness)

Qul innama onthirukum bialwahyi wala yasmaAAu alssummu aldduAAaa itha ma yuntharoona

Qul 'Innamā 'Undhirukum Bil-Waĥyi Wa Lā Yasma`u Aş-Şummu Ad-Du`ā'a 'Idhā Mā Yundharūna

Wa La'in Massat/hum Nafĥatun Min `Adhābi Rabbika Layaqūlunna Yā Waylanā 'Innā Kunnā Žālimīna

If a blast of the torment of your Lord strikes them, they will say, "Woe to us! We have been unjust people

We shall maintain proper justice on the Day of Judgment. No soul will be wronged the least. For a deed even as small as a mustard seed one will duly be recompensed. We are efficient in maintaining the account

Walaqad atayna moosa waharoona alfurqana wadiyaan wathikran lilmuttaqeena

Wa Laqad 'Ātaynā Mūsá Wa Hārūna Al-Furqāna Wa Điyā'an Wa Dhikrāan Lilmuttaqīna

Allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum bialghaybi wahum mina alssaAAati mushfiqoona

Al-Ladhīna Yakhshawna Rabbahum Bil-Ghaybi Wa Hum Mina As-Sā`ati Mushfiqūna

Qaloo man faAAala hatha bialihatina innahu lamina alththalimeena

Qālū Man Fa`ala Hādhā Bi'ālihatinā 'Innahu Lamina Až-Žālimīna
