عالِمِ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهادَةِ فَتَعالىٰ عَمّا يُشرِكونَ

He is the Knower of the unseen and the seen, far above having a partner.

قُل رَبِّ إِمّا تُرِيَنّي ما يوعَدونَ

Say, “My Lord! If You should show me what they’ve been promised.

رَبِّ فَلا تَجعَلني فِي القَومِ الظّالِمينَ

My Lord, place me not among the wrongdoers.”

وَإِنّا عَلىٰ أَن نُرِيَكَ ما نَعِدُهُم لَقادِرونَ

We can show you what We’ve promised them.

ادفَع بِالَّتي هِيَ أَحسَنُ السَّيِّئَةَ ۚ نَحنُ أَعلَمُ بِما يَصِفونَ

Repel evil with what’s better. We know best what they describe.

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.
