Qur’an — Page 580 of 604

وَمِنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ فَٱسۡجُدۡ لَهُۥ وَسَبِّحۡهُ لَيۡلٗا طَوِيلًا ٢٦

And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt [i.e., praise] Him a long [part of the] night.

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ يُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَآءَهُمۡ يَوۡمٗا ثَقِيلٗا ٢٧

Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them¹ a grave Day.

نَّحۡنُ خَلَقۡنَٰهُمۡ وَشَدَدۡنَآ أَسۡرَهُمۡۖ وَإِذَا شِئۡنَا بَدَّلۡنَآ أَمۡثَٰلَهُمۡ تَبۡدِيلًا ٢٨

We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration.

إِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦ تَذۡكِرَةٞۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلٗا ٢٩

Indeed, this is a reminder, so he who wills may take to his Lord a way.

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمٗا ٣٠

And you do not will except that Allāh wills. Indeed, Allāh is ever Knowing and Wise.

يُدۡخِلُ مَن يَشَآءُ فِي رَحۡمَتِهِۦۚ وَٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمَۢا ٣١

He admits whom He wills into His mercy; but the wrongdoers - He has prepared for them a painful punishment.

وَٱلۡمُرۡسَلَٰتِ عُرۡفٗا ١

By those [winds] sent forth in gusts

فَٱلۡعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصۡفٗا ٢

And the winds that blow violently

وَٱلنَّٰشِرَٰتِ نَشۡرٗا ٣

And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

فَٱلۡفَٰرِقَٰتِ فَرۡقٗا ٤

And those [angels] who bring criterion¹

فَٱلۡمُلۡقِيَٰتِ ذِكۡرًا ٥

And those [angels] who deliver a message

عُذۡرًا أَوۡ نُذۡرًا ٦

As justification or warning,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٞ ٧

Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتۡ ٨

So when the stars are obliterated

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتۡ ٩

And when the heaven is opened

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ نُسِفَتۡ ١٠

And when the mountains are blown away

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتۡ ١١

And when the messengers' time has come...¹

لِأَيِّ يَوۡمٍ أُجِّلَتۡ ١٢

For what Day was it postponed?¹

لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ١٣

For the Day of Judgement.

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ١٤

And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement?

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٥

Woe,¹ that Day, to the deniers.

أَلَمۡ نُهۡلِكِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ١٦

Did We not destroy the former peoples?

ثُمَّ نُتۡبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ١٧

Then We will follow them with the later ones.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ ١٨

Thus do We deal with the criminals.

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٩

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.
