۞ وَقَالَ And said ٱلَّذِينَ those who لَا (do) not يَرْجُونَ expect لِقَآءَنَا (the) meeting with Us لَوْلَآ Why not أُنزِلَ are sent down عَلَيْنَا to us ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ the Angels أَوْ or نَرَىٰ we see رَبَّنَا ۗ our Lord لَقَدِ Indeed ٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ they have become arrogant فِىٓ within أَنفُسِهِمْ themselves وَعَتَوْ and (become) insolent عُتُوًّۭا (with) insolence كَبِيرًۭا great ٢١

يَوْمَ (The) Day يَرَوْنَ they see ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ the Angels لَا no بُشْرَىٰ glad tidings يَوْمَئِذٍۢ (will be) that Day لِّلْمُجْرِمِينَ for the criminals وَيَقُولُونَ and they will say حِجْرًۭا A partition مَّحْجُورًۭا forbidden ٢٢

وَقَدِمْنَآ And We will proceed إِلَىٰ to مَا whatever عَمِلُوا۟ they did مِنْ of عَمَلٍۢ (the) deed(s) فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ and We will make them هَبَآءًۭ (as) dust مَّنثُورًا dispersed ٢٣

أَصْحَـٰبُ (The) companions ٱلْجَنَّةِ (of) Paradise يَوْمَئِذٍ that Day خَيْرٌۭ (will be in) a better مُّسْتَقَرًّۭا abode وَأَحْسَنُ and a better مَقِيلًۭا resting-place ٢٤

وَيَوْمَ And (the) Day تَشَقَّقُ will split open ٱلسَّمَآءُ the heavens بِٱلْغَمَـٰمِ with the clouds وَنُزِّلَ and (will be) sent down ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ the Angels تَنزِيلًا descending ٢٥

ٱلْمُلْكُ The Sovereignty يَوْمَئِذٍ that Day ٱلْحَقُّ (will be) truly لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۚ for the Most Gracious وَكَانَ And (it will) be يَوْمًا a Day عَلَى for ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers عَسِيرًۭا difficult ٢٦

وَيَوْمَ And (the) Day يَعَضُّ will bite ٱلظَّالِمُ the wrongdoer عَلَىٰ [on] يَدَيْهِ his hands يَقُولُ he will say يَـٰلَيْتَنِى O I wish ٱتَّخَذْتُ I had taken مَعَ with ٱلرَّسُولِ the Messenger سَبِيلًۭا a way ٢٧

يَـٰوَيْلَتَىٰ O woe to me لَيْتَنِى I wish لَمْ not أَتَّخِذْ I had taken فُلَانًا that one خَلِيلًۭا (as) a friend ٢٨

لَّقَدْ Verily أَضَلَّنِى he led me astray عَنِ from ٱلذِّكْرِ the Reminder بَعْدَ after إِذْ [when] جَآءَنِى ۗ it (had) come to me وَكَانَ And is ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ the Shaitaan لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ to the man خَذُولًۭا a deserter ٢٩

وَقَالَ And said ٱلرَّسُولُ the Messenger يَـٰرَبِّ O my Lord إِنَّ Indeed قَوْمِى my people ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ took هَـٰذَا this ٱلْقُرْءَانَ the Quran مَهْجُورًۭا (as) a forsaken thing ٣٠

وَكَذَٰلِكَ And thus جَعَلْنَا We have made لِكُلِّ for every نَبِىٍّ Prophet عَدُوًّۭا an enemy مِّنَ among ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۗ the criminals وَكَفَىٰ But sufficient is بِرَبِّكَ your Lord هَادِيًۭا (as) a Guide وَنَصِيرًۭا and a Helper ٣١

وَقَالَ And said ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve لَوْلَا Why not نُزِّلَ was revealed عَلَيْهِ to him ٱلْقُرْءَانُ the Quran جُمْلَةًۭ all at once وَٰحِدَةًۭ ۚ all at once كَذَٰلِكَ Thus لِنُثَبِّتَ that We may strengthen بِهِۦ thereby فُؤَادَكَ ۖ your heart وَرَتَّلْنَـٰهُ and We have recited it تَرْتِيلًۭا (with distinct) recitation ٣٢

وَلَا And not يَأْتُونَكَ they come to you بِمَثَلٍ with an example إِلَّا but جِئْنَـٰكَ We bring you بِٱلْحَقِّ the truth وَأَحْسَنَ and (the) best تَفْسِيرًا explanation ٣٣

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who يُحْشَرُونَ will be gathered عَلَىٰ on وُجُوهِهِمْ their faces إِلَىٰ to جَهَنَّمَ Hell أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ those شَرٌّۭ (are the) worst مَّكَانًۭا (in) position وَأَضَلُّ and most astray سَبِيلًۭا (from the) way ٣٤

وَلَقَدْ And verily ءَاتَيْنَا We gave مُوسَى Musa ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Scripture وَجَعَلْنَا and We appointed مَعَهُۥٓ with him أَخَاهُ his brother هَـٰرُونَ Harun وَزِيرًۭا (as) an assistant ٣٥

فَقُلْنَا Then We said ٱذْهَبَآ Go both of you إِلَى to ٱلْقَوْمِ the people ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَذَّبُوا۟ have denied بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا Our Signs فَدَمَّرْنَـٰهُمْ Then We destroyed them تَدْمِيرًۭا (with) destruction ٣٦

وَقَوْمَ And (the) people نُوحٍۢ (of) Nuh لَّمَّا when كَذَّبُوا۟ they denied ٱلرُّسُلَ the Messengers أَغْرَقْنَـٰهُمْ We drowned them وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ and We made them لِلنَّاسِ for mankind ءَايَةًۭ ۖ a sign وَأَعْتَدْنَا And We have prepared لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ for the wrongdoers عَذَابًا a punishment أَلِيمًۭا painful ٣٧

وَعَادًۭا And Ad وَثَمُودَا۟ and Thamud وَأَصْحَـٰبَ and (the) dwellers ٱلرَّسِّ (of) Ar-rass وَقُرُونًۢا and generations بَيْنَ between ذَٰلِكَ that كَثِيرًۭا many ٣٨

وَكُلًّۭا And each ضَرَبْنَا We have set forth لَهُ for him ٱلْأَمْثَـٰلَ ۖ the examples وَكُلًّۭا and each تَبَّرْنَا We destroyed تَتْبِيرًۭا (with) destruction ٣٩

وَلَقَدْ And verily أَتَوْا۟ they have come عَلَى upon ٱلْقَرْيَةِ the town ٱلَّتِىٓ which أُمْطِرَتْ was showered مَطَرَ (with) a rain ٱلسَّوْءِ ۚ (of) evil أَفَلَمْ Then do not يَكُونُوا۟ they [were] يَرَوْنَهَا ۚ see it بَلْ Nay كَانُوا۟ they are لَا not يَرْجُونَ expecting نُشُورًۭا Resurrection ٤٠
