يَتَخافَتونَ بَينَهُم إِن لَبِثتُم إِلّا عَشرًا
Whispering among themselves, “You didn’t remain except for ten.”
نَحنُ أَعلَمُ بِما يَقولونَ إِذ يَقولُ أَمثَلُهُم طَريقَةً إِن لَبِثتُم إِلّا يَومًا
We know well what they will say, when the most exemplary among them will say, “You stayed no more than a day.”
وَيَسأَلونَكَ عَنِ الجِبالِ فَقُل يَنسِفُها رَبّي نَسفًا
They ask you about the mountains, so say, “My Lord will crumble them into dust.
فَيَذَرُها قاعًا صَفصَفًا
He will leave them as a level plain.
لا تَرىٰ فيها عِوَجًا وَلا أَمتًا
You will see neither elevation or depression in them.”
يَومَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعونَ الدّاعِيَ لا عِوَجَ لَهُ ۖ وَخَشَعَتِ الأَصواتُ لِلرَّحمـٰنِ فَلا تَسمَعُ إِلّا هَمسًا
On that Day, they will follow the caller without deviation. Voices will be lowered for the Most Merciful, so you will not hear but a whisper.
يَومَئِذٍ لا تَنفَعُ الشَّفاعَةُ إِلّا مَن أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحمـٰنُ وَرَضِيَ لَهُ قَولًا
On that Day, intercession won’t benefit at all, except for those to whom the Most Merciful has granted permission and whose words He has approved.
يَعلَمُ ما بَينَ أَيديهِم وَما خَلفَهُم وَلا يُحيطونَ بِهِ عِلمًا
He knows their past and their future, and they can’t comprehend His knowledge.
وَعَنَتِ الوُجوهُ لِلحَيِّ القَيّومِ ۖ وَقَد خابَ مَن حَمَلَ ظُلمًا
All faces will humbly submit to the Ever-Living, the Sustainer. Whoever carries injustice will despair.
وَمَن يَعمَل مِنَ الصّالِحاتِ وَهُوَ مُؤمِنٌ فَلا يَخافُ ظُلمًا وَلا هَضمًا
However, those who performed righteous deeds and are believers won’t fear injustice or deprivation.
وَكَذٰلِكَ أَنزَلناهُ قُرآنًا عَرَبِيًّا وَصَرَّفنا فيهِ مِنَ الوَعيدِ لَعَلَّهُم يَتَّقونَ أَو يُحدِثُ لَهُم ذِكرًا
We revealed this Quran in Arabic, and We diversified the warnings in it, to foster righteousness or serve as a reminder for them.
