نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ ٥٧
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
We created you. Will ye then admit the truth?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ ٥٨
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Have ye seen that which ye emit?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ ٥٩
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Do ye create it or are We the Creator?

Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not.

And verily ye know the first creation. Why, then, do ye not reflect?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ ٦٣
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Have ye seen that which ye cultivate?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ ٦٤
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer?
لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَٰهُ حُطَٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ ٦٥
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
If We willed, We verily could make it chaff, then would ye cease not to exclaim:

Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Lo! we are laden with debt!
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ ٦٧

Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Have ye observed the water which ye drink?

Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Is it ye who shed it from the raincloud, or are We the Shedder?
لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ ٧٠
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why then, give ye not thanks?
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ ٧١
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out;
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ ٧٢
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower?
نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَٰعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ ٧٣
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
We, even We, appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the dwellers in the wilderness.

Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Therefor (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.
۞ فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ ٧٥
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Nay, I swear by the places of the stars -
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ ٧٦
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew -
إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ ٧٧
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an
فِى كِتَٰبٍ مَّكْنُونٍ ٧٨
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
In a Book kept hidden
لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ ٧٩
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Which none toucheth save the purified,
تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ٨٠
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ ٨١
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Is it this Statement that ye scorn,
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ ٨٢
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
And make denial thereof your livelihood?
فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ ٨٣
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying)
وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ ٨٤
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
And ye are at that moment looking
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ ٨٥
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
- And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not -
فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ ٨٦
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us),
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ٨٧
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful?
فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ ٨٨
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Thus if he is of those brought nigh,
فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ ٨٩
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight.
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ٩٠
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
And if he is of those on the right hand,
فَسَلَٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ٩١
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the right hand.
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ٩٢
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
But if he is of the rejecters, the erring,
فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ ٩٣
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Then the welcome will be boiling water
وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ ٩٤
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
And roasting at hell-fire.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ ٩٥
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Lo! this is certain truth.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٩٦
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Therefor (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.
