أَفَرَءَيْتَ Have you seen مَنِ (he) who ٱتَّخَذَ takes إِلَـٰهَهُۥ (as) his god هَوَىٰهُ his desire وَأَضَلَّهُ and Allah lets him go astray ٱللَّهُ and Allah lets him go astray عَلَىٰ knowingly عِلْمٍۢ knowingly وَخَتَمَ and He sets a seal عَلَىٰ upon سَمْعِهِۦ his hearing وَقَلْبِهِۦ and his heart وَجَعَلَ and puts عَلَىٰ over بَصَرِهِۦ his vision غِشَـٰوَةًۭ a veil فَمَن Then who يَهْدِيهِ will guide him مِنۢ after بَعْدِ after ٱللَّهِ ۚ Allah أَفَلَا Then will not تَذَكَّرُونَ you receive admonition ٢٣

وَقَالُوا۟ And they say مَا Not هِىَ it إِلَّا (is) but حَيَاتُنَا our life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world نَمُوتُ we die وَنَحْيَا and we live وَمَا and not يُهْلِكُنَآ destroys us إِلَّا except ٱلدَّهْرُ ۚ the time وَمَا And not لَهُم for them بِذَٰلِكَ of that مِنْ any عِلْمٍ ۖ knowledge إِنْ not هُمْ they إِلَّا (do) but يَظُنُّونَ guess ٢٤

وَإِذَا And when تُتْلَىٰ are recited عَلَيْهِمْ to them ءَايَـٰتُنَا Our Verses بَيِّنَـٰتٍۢ clear مَّا not كَانَ is حُجَّتَهُمْ their argument إِلَّآ except أَن that قَالُوا۟ they say ٱئْتُوا۟ Bring بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ our forefathers إِن if كُنتُمْ you are صَـٰدِقِينَ truthful ٢٥

قُلِ Say ٱللَّهُ Allah يُحْيِيكُمْ gives you life ثُمَّ then يُمِيتُكُمْ causes you to die ثُمَّ then يَجْمَعُكُمْ He will gather you إِلَىٰ to يَوْمِ (the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection لَا no رَيْبَ doubt فِيهِ about it وَلَـٰكِنَّ But أَكْثَرَ most ٱلنَّاسِ (of) the people لَا (do) not يَعْلَمُونَ know ٢٦

وَلِلَّهِ And for Allah مُلْكُ (is the) dominion ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ (of) the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ and the earth وَيَوْمَ and (the) Day تَقُومُ is established ٱلسَّاعَةُ the Hour يَوْمَئِذٍۢ that Day يَخْسَرُ will lose ٱلْمُبْطِلُونَ the falsifiers ٢٧

وَتَرَىٰ And you will see كُلَّ every أُمَّةٍۢ nation جَاثِيَةًۭ ۚ kneeling كُلُّ Every أُمَّةٍۢ nation تُدْعَىٰٓ will be called إِلَىٰ to كِتَـٰبِهَا its record ٱلْيَوْمَ Today تُجْزَوْنَ you will be recompensed مَا (for) what كُنتُمْ you used to تَعْمَلُونَ do ٢٨

هَـٰذَا This كِتَـٰبُنَا Our Record يَنطِقُ speaks عَلَيْكُم about you بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ in truth إِنَّا Indeed, We كُنَّا [We] used to نَسْتَنسِخُ transcribe مَا what كُنتُمْ you used to تَعْمَلُونَ do ٢٩

فَأَمَّا Then as for ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believed وَعَمِلُوا۟ and did ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ [the] righteous deeds فَيُدْخِلُهُمْ will admit them رَبُّهُمْ their Lord فِى in(to) رَحْمَتِهِۦ ۚ His mercy ذَٰلِكَ That هُوَ [it] ٱلْفَوْزُ (is) the success ٱلْمُبِينُ clear ٣٠

وَأَمَّا But as for ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوٓا۟ disbelieved أَفَلَمْ Then were not تَكُنْ Then were not ءَايَـٰتِى My Verses تُتْلَىٰ recited عَلَيْكُمْ to you فَٱسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ but you were proud وَكُنتُمْ and you became قَوْمًۭا a people مُّجْرِمِينَ criminals ٣١

وَإِذَا And when قِيلَ it was said إِنَّ Indeed وَعْدَ (the) Promise ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah حَقٌّۭ (is) true وَٱلسَّاعَةُ and the Hour لَا (there is) no رَيْبَ doubt فِيهَا about it قُلْتُم you said مَّا Not نَدْرِى we know مَا what ٱلسَّاعَةُ the Hour (is) إِن Not نَّظُنُّ we think إِلَّا except ظَنًّۭا an assumption وَمَا and not نَحْنُ we بِمُسْتَيْقِنِينَ (are) convinced ٣٢
