لا يَسمَعونَ حَسيسَها ۖ وَهُم في مَا اشتَهَت أَنفُسُهُم خالِدونَ
They won’t hear its hiss, and they will remain in what their souls desire forever.
لا يَحزُنُهُمُ الفَزَعُ الأَكبَرُ وَتَتَلَقّاهُمُ المَلائِكَةُ هـٰذا يَومُكُمُ الَّذي كُنتُم توعَدونَ
The greatest terror won’t grieve them, and the angels will welcome them: “This is your Day which you were promised.”
يَومَ نَطوِي السَّماءَ كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلكُتُبِ ۚ كَما بَدَأنا أَوَّلَ خَلقٍ نُعيدُهُ ۚ وَعدًا عَلَينا ۚ إِنّا كُنّا فاعِلينَ
On that Day, We will fold the heavens like the folding of a book. Just as We began the first creation, so We will repeat it. That’s a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.
وَلَقَد كَتَبنا فِي الزَّبورِ مِن بَعدِ الذِّكرِ أَنَّ الأَرضَ يَرِثُها عِبادِيَ الصّالِحونَ
We’ve written in the Psalms, after the Reminder: “My righteous servants will inherit the earth.”
إِنَّ في هـٰذا لَبَلاغًا لِقَومٍ عابِدينَ
In this there is a message for a people who worship.
وَما أَرسَلناكَ إِلّا رَحمَةً لِلعالَمينَ
We sent you only as a mercy for all worlds.
قُل إِنَّما يوحىٰ إِلَيَّ أَنَّما إِلـٰهُكُم إِلـٰهٌ واحِدٌ ۖ فَهَل أَنتُم مُسلِمونَ
Say, “It has been revealed to me that your God is One God. Are you going to submit?”
فَإِن تَوَلَّوا فَقُل آذَنتُكُم عَلىٰ سَواءٍ ۖ وَإِن أَدري أَقَريبٌ أَم بَعيدٌ ما توعَدونَ
If they turn away, say, “I have warned you adequately, and I don’t know if what you’re promised is near or far.
إِنَّهُ يَعلَمُ الجَهرَ مِنَ القَولِ وَيَعلَمُ ما تَكتُمونَ
He certainly knows what’s spoken aloud, and He also knows what you conceal.
وَإِن أَدري لَعَلَّهُ فِتنَةٌ لَكُم وَمَتاعٌ إِلىٰ حينٍ
And I don’t know; perhaps it might be a test for you and enjoyment for a time.”
قالَ رَبِّ احكُم بِالحَقِّ ۗ وَرَبُّنَا الرَّحمـٰنُ المُستَعانُ عَلىٰ ما تَصِفونَ
He said, “My Lord, judge with the truth.” And “Our Lord, the Most Merciful, whose help is sought against what you describe.”
