إِلّا رَحمَةً مِنّا وَمَتاعًا إِلىٰ حينٍ
Except out of mercy from Us, and for enjoyment for a while.
وَإِذا قيلَ لَهُمُ اتَّقوا ما بَينَ أَيديكُم وَما خَلفَكُم لَعَلَّكُم تُرحَمونَ
When they are told, “Guard yourselves from what’s before you and what’s behind you, so you may receive mercy.”
وَما تَأتيهِم مِن آيَةٍ مِن آياتِ رَبِّهِم إِلّا كانوا عَنها مُعرِضينَ
Yet, they persistently ignore every sign that comes to them from their Lord.
وَإِذا قيلَ لَهُم أَنفِقوا مِمّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ قالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لِلَّذينَ آمَنوا أَنُطعِمُ مَن لَو يَشاءُ اللَّهُ أَطعَمَهُ إِن أَنتُم إِلّا في ضَلالٍ مُبينٍ
When told, “Give from what God has provided you,” the unbelievers say to the believers, “Should we feed those, if God willed, He would’ve fed them? You are evidently misguided.”
وَيَقولونَ مَتىٰ هـٰذَا الوَعدُ إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ
And they say, “When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful?”
ما يَنظُرونَ إِلّا صَيحَةً واحِدَةً تَأخُذُهُم وَهُم يَخِصِّمونَ
They only await a single blast that will seize them while arguing.
فَلا يَستَطيعونَ تَوصِيَةً وَلا إِلىٰ أَهلِهِم يَرجِعونَ
They won’t be able to make any will, nor will they return to their families.
وَنُفِخَ فِي الصّورِ فَإِذا هُم مِنَ الأَجداثِ إِلىٰ رَبِّهِم يَنسِلونَ
The Trumpet will be blown, and behold, from their graves, they will rush towards their Lord.
قالوا يا وَيلَنا مَن بَعَثَنا مِن مَرقَدِنا ۜ ۗ هـٰذا ما وَعَدَ الرَّحمـٰنُ وَصَدَقَ المُرسَلونَ
They will cry out, “Woe to us! Who resurrected us from our resting place? This is what the Merciful had promised, and the messengers spoke the truth.”
إِن كانَت إِلّا صَيحَةً واحِدَةً فَإِذا هُم جَميعٌ لَدَينا مُحضَرونَ
It will be but a single shout, and they will all be brought before Us.
فَاليَومَ لا تُظلَمُ نَفسٌ شَيئًا وَلا تُجزَونَ إِلّا ما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ
On that Day, no soul will be wronged in the least, and you will only be reimbursed for your actions.
