فَأَمّا مَن طَغىٰ
But as for him who transgressed.
وَآثَرَ الحَياةَ الدُّنيا
And preferred the life of this world.
فَإِنَّ الجَحيمَ هِيَ المَأوىٰ
Hellfire will be the dwelling.
وَأَمّا مَن خافَ مَقامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفسَ عَنِ الهَوىٰ
But as for him who feared the position of his Lord, and restrained the soul from desires.
فَإِنَّ الجَنَّةَ هِيَ المَأوىٰ
Paradise will be the sanctuary.
يَسأَلونَكَ عَنِ السّاعَةِ أَيّانَ مُرساها
They ask you about the Hour, “When is its arrival?”
فيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكراها
In what position are you to mention its date?
إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهاها
To your Lord alone, is its ultimate knowledge.
إِنَّما أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخشاها
You are only a warner for those who fear it.
كَأَنَّهُم يَومَ يَرَونَها لَم يَلبَثوا إِلّا عَشِيَّةً أَو ضُحاها
On the day they see it, it will be as though they had only lingered an evening or a morning.
