اللَّهُ الَّذي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ وَما بَينَهُما في سِتَّةِ أَيّامٍ ثُمَّ استَوىٰ عَلَى العَرشِ ۖ ما لَكُم مِن دونِهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلا شَفيعٍ ۚ أَفَلا تَتَذَكَّرونَ
It is God who created the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between, in six periods, then He established Himself upon the throne. You have no protector or intercessor apart from Him. Will you not remember?
يُدَبِّرُ الأَمرَ مِنَ السَّماءِ إِلَى الأَرضِ ثُمَّ يَعرُجُ إِلَيهِ في يَومٍ كانَ مِقدارُهُ أَلفَ سَنَةٍ مِمّا تَعُدّونَ
He directs the affairs from the heavens to the earth; then it ascends to Him, in a Day the measure of which is a thousand years according to your calculations.
ذٰلِكَ عالِمُ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهادَةِ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ
He is the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
الَّذي أَحسَنَ كُلَّ شَيءٍ خَلَقَهُ ۖ وَبَدَأَ خَلقَ الإِنسانِ مِن طينٍ
He who perfected everything that He created and began the creation of man from clay.
ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسلَهُ مِن سُلالَةٍ مِن ماءٍ مَهينٍ
Then, He made his reproduction from an extract of a base fluid.
ثُمَّ سَوّاهُ وَنَفَخَ فيهِ مِن روحِهِ ۖ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمعَ وَالأَبصارَ وَالأَفئِدَةَ ۚ قَليلًا ما تَشكُرونَ
Then He shaped him and breathed into him from His Spirit, giving you hearing, sight, and intelligence. Yet, you are seldom grateful.
وَقالوا أَإِذا ضَلَلنا فِي الأَرضِ أَإِنّا لَفي خَلقٍ جَديدٍ ۚ بَل هُم بِلِقاءِ رَبِّهِم كافِرونَ
They question, “After we have disintegrated into the earth, are we to be created anew?” In fact, they deny the meeting with their Lord.
قُل يَتَوَفّاكُم مَلَكُ المَوتِ الَّذي وُكِّلَ بِكُم ثُمَّ إِلىٰ رَبِّكُم تُرجَعونَ
Say, “The angel of death, assigned to you, will reclaim you, then you will be returned to your Lord.”
وَلَو تَرىٰ إِذِ المُجرِمونَ ناكِسو رُءوسِهِم عِندَ رَبِّهِم رَبَّنا أَبصَرنا وَسَمِعنا فَارجِعنا نَعمَل صالِحًا إِنّا موقِنونَ
If only you could see when the guilty bow their heads before their Lord: “Our Lord, we’ve seen and heard, so send us back, and we will act righteously. We are now convinced.”
وَلَو شِئنا لَآتَينا كُلَّ نَفسٍ هُداها وَلـٰكِن حَقَّ القَولُ مِنّي لَأَملَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الجِنَّةِ وَالنّاسِ أَجمَعينَ
Had We willed, We could’ve given every soul its guidance, but My decree has been fulfilled: “I will fill Hell with jinn and humans altogether.”
فَذوقوا بِما نَسيتُم لِقاءَ يَومِكُم هـٰذا إِنّا نَسيناكُم ۖ وَذوقوا عَذابَ الخُلدِ بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ
So taste, because you forgot the meeting of this Day of yours. We’ve forgotten you. Taste the punishment of eternity for what you used to do.
