Tilkal jannatul latee noorisu min 'ibaadinaa man kaana taqiyyaa
Such is the Paradise which We shall cause those of Our servants who have been God-fearing to inherit.
64
وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمْرِ رَبِّكَ ۖ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ ۚ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّا
Wa maa natanazzalu illaa bi amri Rabbika lahoo maa baina aideenaa wa maa khalfanaa wa maa baina zaalik; wa maa kaana Rabbuka nasiyyaa
(The angels will say): "(O Muhammad!) We descend not except by the command of your Lord. To Him belongs all that is before us and all that is behind us, and all that is in between. Your Lord is not forgetful in the least.
65
رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهِ ۚ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهُ سَمِيًّا
Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa fa'bud hu wastabir li'ibaadatih; hal ta'lamu lahoo samiyyaa (section 4)
He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is in between. Serve Him then, and be constant in serving Him. Do you know anyone that is equal to Him?"
66
وَيَقُولُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَإِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ أُخْرَجُ حَيًّا
Wa yaqoolul insaanu 'a izaa maa mittu lasawfa ukhraju haiyaa
Man is prone to say: "Shall I be raised to life after I die?"
67
أَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْئًا
'A wa laa yazkurul insaanu annaa khalaqnaahu min qablu wa lam yaku shai'aa
Does man not remember that We created him before when he was nothing?
68
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَالشَّيَاطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّا
Fawa Rabbika lanahshu rannahum wash shayaateena summa lanuhdirannahum hawla jahannama jisiyyaa
By your Lord, We will surely muster them and the devils together. Then We will surely bring them all, on their knees, around Hell,
69
ثُمَّ لَنَنْزِعَنَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شِيعَةٍ أَيُّهُمْ أَشَدُّ عَلَى الرَّحْمَٰنِ عِتِيًّا
Summa lanan zi'anna min kulli shee'atin aiyuhum ashaddu 'alar Rahmaani 'itiyyaa
and then We will draw aside from each party those who were most rebellious against the Most Compassionate Lord,
70
ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِينَ هُمْ أَوْلَىٰ بِهَا صِلِيًّا
Summa lanahnu a'lamu billazeena hum awlaa bihaa siliyyaa
and then We shall know well all those most worthy to be cast in Hell.
71
وَإِنْ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا ۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَقْضِيًّا
Wa in minkum illaa waariduhaa; kaana 'alaa Rabbika hatmam maqdiyyaa
There is not one of you but shall pass by Hell. This is a decree which your Lord will fulfil.
72
ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا وَنَذَرُ الظَّالِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيًّا
Summa nunajjil lazeenat taqaw wa nazaruz zaalimeena feehaa jisiyyaa
Then We shall deliver those that feared Allah and leave the wrong-doers there on their knees.
73
وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ قَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَيُّ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ خَيْرٌ مَقَامًا وَأَحْسَنُ نَدِيًّا
Wa izaa tutlaa 'alaihim Aayaatunaa baiyinaatin qaalal lazeena kafaroo lillazeena aamanooo aiyul fareeqaini khairum maqaamanw wa ahsanu nadiyyaa
When Our clear revelations are recited to those who deny the Truth they are wont to say to those who have faith: "Which of the two groups has a better status and whose assemblies are grander?"
74
وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَحْسَنُ أَثَاثًا وَرِئْيًا
Wa kam ahlaknaa qablahum min qarnin hum ahsanu asaasanw wa ri'yaa
How numerous are the peoples We destroyed before them - those that were more resourceful and grander in outward appearance!
75
قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الضَّلَالَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمَٰنُ مَدًّا ۚ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا السَّاعَةَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَكَانًا وَأَضْعَفُ جُنْدًا
Qul man kaana fidda laalati falyamdud lahur Rahmaanu maddaa; hattaaa izaa ra aw maa yoo'adoona immal 'azaaba wa immas Saa'ata fasa ya'lamoona man huwa sharrum makaananw wa ad'afu jundaa
Say: "The Most Compassionate Lord grants respite to those who stray into error, until they behold what they had been threatened with, either God's chastisement (in the world) or the Hour (of Resurrection)" - then they fully know whose station is worse, and who is weaker in hosts!
76
وَيَزِيدُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدًى ۗ وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ مَرَدًّا
Wa yazeedul laahul lazeenah tadaw hudaa; wal baaqiyaatus saalihaatu khairun 'inda Rabbika sawaabanw wa khairum maraddaa
(On the contrary), Allah increases in guidance those who follow the Right Way. Lasting acts of righteousness are much better with your Lord in reward and in outcome.
77
أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا
Afara'aytal lazee kafara bi Aayaatinaa wa qaala la oota yanna maalanw wa waladaa
Have you seen him who rejected Our signs and said: "Surely I shall continue to be favoured with riches and children."
78
أَطَّلَعَ الْغَيْبَ أَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ عَهْدًا
'At tala'al ghaiba 'amit takhaza 'indar Rahmaani 'ahdaa
Has he obtained knowledge of the Unseen, or has he taken a covenant with the Most Compassionate Lord?
79
كَلَّا ۚ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا
Kallaa; sanaktubu maa yaqoolu wa namuddu lahoo minal 'azaabi maddaa
By no means! We shall write down all what he says, and We shall greatly prolong his chastisement,
80
وَنَرِثُهُ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأْتِينَا فَرْدًا
Wa narisuhoo maa yaqoolu wa ya'teenaa fardaa
and We shall inherit all the resources and hosts of which he boasts, and he will come to Us all alone.
81
وَاتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ آلِهَةً لِيَكُونُوا لَهُمْ عِزًّا
Wattakhazoo min doonil laahi aalihatal liyakoonoo lahum 'izzaa
They have taken other gods instead of Allah that they may be a source of strength for them.

Kallaa; sa yakfuroona bi'ibaadatihim wa yakoonoona 'alaihim diddaa (section 5)
By no means! They shall soon deny their worship and shall become their adversaries instead.
83
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا الشَّيَاطِينَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ أَزًّا
Alam tara annaaa arsalnash Shayaateena 'alal kaafireena ta'uzzuhum azzaa
Do you not see that We have sent devils upon the unbelievers who greatly incite them (to oppose the Truth)?
84
فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا
Falaa ta'jal alaihim innamaa na 'uddu lahum 'addaa
Therefore, do not hasten (in seeking a scourge against them). We are counting their days.
85
يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى الرَّحْمَٰنِ وَفْدًا
Yawma nahshurul muttaqeena ilar Rahmaani wafdaa
The Day shall soon come when We shall bring together the God-fearing to the Most Compassionate Lord, as honoured guests;
86
وَنَسُوقُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًا
Wa nasooqul mujrimeena ilaa Jahannama wirdaa
and We shall drive the guilty ones to Hell as a thirsty herd.

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَٰنُ وَلَدًا
Wa qaalut takhazar Rahmaanu waladaa
They claim: "The Most Compassionate Lord has taken a son to Himself."
89
لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْئًا إِدًّا
Laqad ji'tum shai'an iddaa
Surely you have made a monstrous statement.
90
تَكَادُ السَّمَاوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنْشَقُّ الْأَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا
Takaadus samaawaatu yatafattarna minhu wa tanshaq qul ardu wa takhirrul jibaalu haddaa
It is such a monstrosity that heavens might well-nigh burst forth at it, the earth might be cleaved, and the mountains fall
91
أَنْ دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ وَلَدًا
An da'aw lir Rahmaani waladaa
at their ascribing a son to the Most Compassionate Lord.
92
وَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا
Wa maa yambaghee lir Rahmaani ai yattakhiza waladaa
It does not befit the Most Compassionate Lord that He should take a son.

On the Day of Resurrection each one of these will come to Him singly.

Innal lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati sa yaj'alu lahumur Rahmaanu wuddaa
Indeed, the Most Compassionate Lord will soon create enduring love for those who believe and do righteous works.
97
فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَاهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنْذِرَ بِهِ قَوْمًا لُدًّا
Fa innamaa yassarnaahu bilisaanika litubashshira bihil muttaqeena wa tunzira bihee qawmal luddaa
Therefore, We have revealed the Qur'an in your tongue and made it easy to understand that you may give glad tidings to the God-fearing and warn a contentious people.
98
وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنْ قَرْنٍ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا
Wa kam ahlaknaa qabla hum min qarnin hal tuhissu minhum min ahadin aw tasma'u lahum rikzaa (section 6)
How numerous are the peoples that We destroyed before them! Do you now perceive any one of them, or hear even their whisper?
