وَنَزَّلنا مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً مُبارَكًا فَأَنبَتنا بِهِ جَنّاتٍ وَحَبَّ الحَصيدِ

And We send down from the sky blessed water, with which We produce gardens and grains of harvest.

وَالنَّخلَ باسِقاتٍ لَها طَلعٌ نَضيدٌ

And tall palm trees with clusters of dates.

رِزقًا لِلعِبادِ ۖ وَأَحيَينا بِهِ بَلدَةً مَيتًا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ الخُروجُ

This sustenance is for humankind. And with it, We revive barren land. Similarly, will be the resurrection.

كَذَّبَت قَبلَهُم قَومُ نوحٍ وَأَصحابُ الرَّسِّ وَثَمودُ

Before them, the people of Noah, the residents of Ar-Rass, and Thamud denied the truth.

وَعادٌ وَفِرعَونُ وَإِخوانُ لوطٍ

So did Aad, Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot.

أَفَعَيينا بِالخَلقِ الأَوَّلِ ۚ بَل هُم في لَبسٍ مِن خَلقٍ جَديدٍ

Were We exhausted by the first creation? Yet they are in confusion about a new creation.

وَلَقَد خَلَقنَا الإِنسانَ وَنَعلَمُ ما تُوَسوِسُ بِهِ نَفسُهُ ۖ وَنَحنُ أَقرَبُ إِلَيهِ مِن حَبلِ الوَريدِ

We created man, and We know what his soul whispers to him. We are closer to him than his jugular vein.

إِذ يَتَلَقَّى المُتَلَقِّيانِ عَنِ اليَمينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمالِ قَعيدٌ

As the two receivers receive, seated on the right and left.

ما يَلفِظُ مِن قَولٍ إِلّا لَدَيهِ رَقيبٌ عَتيدٌ

Every word he utters is noted by a vigilant scribe nearby.

وَجاءَت سَكرَةُ المَوتِ بِالحَقِّ ۖ ذٰلِكَ ما كُنتَ مِنهُ تَحيدُ

The stupor of death arrives: “This is what you attempted to evade.”
