مُهطِعينَ مُقنِعي رُءوسِهِم لا يَرتَدُّ إِلَيهِم طَرفُهُم ۖ وَأَفئِدَتُهُم هَواءٌ

Rushing forward, their heads upraised, their gaze unflinching, their hearts void.

وَأَنذِرِ النّاسَ يَومَ يَأتيهِمُ العَذابُ فَيَقولُ الَّذينَ ظَلَموا رَبَّنا أَخِّرنا إِلىٰ أَجَلٍ قَريبٍ نُجِب دَعوَتَكَ وَنَتَّبِعِ الرُّسُلَ ۗ أَوَلَم تَكونوا أَقسَمتُم مِن قَبلُ ما لَكُم مِن زَوالٍ

Warn the people of the Day when the punishment will befall them, and the wrongdoers will say, “Our Lord, delay us for a little while, and we will answer Your call and follow the messengers.” But didn’t you swear before that there will be no end for you?

وَسَكَنتُم في مَساكِنِ الَّذينَ ظَلَموا أَنفُسَهُم وَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُم كَيفَ فَعَلنا بِهِم وَضَرَبنا لَكُمُ الأَمثالَ

You inhabited the homes of those who wronged themselves, and it became clear to you how We treated them. And We have illustrated for you the examples.

وَقَد مَكَروا مَكرَهُم وَعِندَ اللَّهِ مَكرُهُم وَإِن كانَ مَكرُهُم لِتَزولَ مِنهُ الجِبالُ

They devised their plan, and their plan is known to God, even if their plan were to eliminate mountains.

فَلا تَحسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ مُخلِفَ وَعدِهِ رُسُلَهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزيزٌ ذُو انتِقامٍ

Never think that God will fail in His promise to His messengers. God is Mighty, Owner of Retribution.

وَتَرَى المُجرِمينَ يَومَئِذٍ مُقَرَّنينَ فِي الأَصفادِ

On that Day, you will see the criminals bound in chains.

سَرابيلُهُم مِن قَطِرانٍ وَتَغشىٰ وُجوهَهُمُ النّارُ

Their garments made of tar, and the flames covering their faces.

لِيَجزِيَ اللَّهُ كُلَّ نَفسٍ ما كَسَبَت ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَريعُ الحِسابِ

So that God may recompense every soul for what it has earned. God is swift in accounting.

هـٰذا بَلاغٌ لِلنّاسِ وَلِيُنذَروا بِهِ وَلِيَعلَموا أَنَّما هُوَ إِلـٰهٌ واحِدٌ وَلِيَذَّكَّرَ أُولُو الأَلبابِ

This is a proclamation for humankind, that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is One God, and so that those possessed of understanding may take heed.
