ادفَع بِالَّتي هِيَ أَحسَنُ السَّيِّئَةَ ۚ نَحنُ أَعلَمُ بِما يَصِفونَ
Repel evil with what’s better. We know best what they describe.
وَقُل رَبِّ أَعوذُ بِكَ مِن هَمَزاتِ الشَّياطينِ
And say, “My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the whispers of the devils.
وَأَعوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَن يَحضُرونِ
And I seek Your protection, my Lord, lest they become present.”
حَتّىٰ إِذا جاءَ أَحَدَهُمُ المَوتُ قالَ رَبِّ ارجِعونِ
Until, when death comes to one of them, he pleads, “My Lord, let me return.
لَعَلّي أَعمَلُ صالِحًا فيما تَرَكتُ ۚ كَلّا ۚ إِنَّها كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قائِلُها ۖ وَمِن وَرائِهِم بَرزَخٌ إِلىٰ يَومِ يُبعَثونَ
So that I may rectify what I left undone.” By no means! It is merely a word he says; a barrier stands behind them until the Day they are resurrected.
فَإِذا نُفِخَ فِي الصّورِ فَلا أَنسابَ بَينَهُم يَومَئِذٍ وَلا يَتَساءَلونَ
When the Trumpet is blown, on that Day, all familial ties among them will be severed, and they won’t have the means to inquire after one another.
فَمَن ثَقُلَت مَوازينُهُ فَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ المُفلِحونَ
Those whose scales are heavy will be the successful ones.
وَمَن خَفَّت مَوازينُهُ فَأُولـٰئِكَ الَّذينَ خَسِروا أَنفُسَهُم في جَهَنَّمَ خالِدونَ
However, those with light scales will have lost their souls, remaining in Hell forever.
تَلفَحُ وُجوهَهُمُ النّارُ وَهُم فيها كالِحونَ
The Flames will scorch their faces, disfiguring them beyond recognition.
أَلَم تَكُن آياتي تُتلىٰ عَلَيكُم فَكُنتُم بِها تُكَذِّبونَ
“Were My verses not conveyed to you, yet you denied them?”
قالوا رَبَّنا غَلَبَت عَلَينا شِقوَتُنا وَكُنّا قَومًا ضالّينَ
They will respond, “Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were led astray.
